   * Point addition formula specifically simplified for the curve equation (y^2 = x^3 + 7).
   * Use addition between points in Jacobian and affine coordinates where possible.
+  * Use a unified addition/doubling formula where necessary to avoid data-dependent branches.

   * Use wNAF notation for point multiplicands.
   * Use a much larger window for multiples of G, using precomputed multiples.

 * Point multiplication for signing
   * Use a precomputed table of multiples of powers of 16 multiplied with the generator, so general multiplication becomes a series of additions.
   * Slice the precomputed table in memory per byte, so memory access to the table becomes uniform.
-  * Not fully constant-time, but the precomputed tables add and eventually subtract points for which no known scalar (private key) is known, blinding non-constant time effects even from an attacker with control over the private key used.
+  * No data-dependent branches
+  * The precomputed tables add and eventually subtract points for which no known scalar (private key) is known, preventing even an attacker with control over the private key used to control the data internally.
