So I found EC_NewKeyFromSeed(), which seems great for reconstructing a public key from private one. But it unfortunately is only available via freebl. The same for EC_ValidatePublicKey() which we really should use instead of the other troublesome function we currently use in WebCrypto.

I managed to expose both functions via freebl, softoken, and then PKCS#11. I wondered, is there an easier way to do this or is that the way we have to go?

Dana, you know a lot about this. Any suggestions? :)
