-Type D curves are generated using the complex multiplication (CM) method. This
-function sets 'p' to a type D pairing parameters from CM parameters 'cm'.
-Other library calls search for appropriate CM parameters and the results
-can be passed to this function.
-
-To be secure, generic discrete log algorithms must be infeasible in groups of
-order r, and finite field discrete log algorithms must be infeasible in finite
-fields of order q^6^. For usual CM parameters, r is a few bits smaller than q.
-
-Using type D pairings allows elements of group G1 to be quite short, typically
-170-bits. Because of a certain trick, elements of group G2 need only be 3 times
-longer, that is, about 510 bits rather than 6 times long. They are not quite
-as short as type F pairings, but much faster.
-
-I sometimes refer to a type D curve as a triplet of numbers: the discriminant,
-the number of bits in the prime q, and the number of bits in the prime r. The
-`gen/listmnt` program prints these numbers.
-
-Among the bundled type D curve parameters are the curves 9563-201-181,
-62003-159-158 and 496659-224-224 which have shortened names `param/d201.param`,
-`param/d159.param` and `param/d225.param` respectively.
-
-See `gen/listmnt.c` and `gen/gendparam.c` for how to generate type D pairing
-parameters.
