Why don't we check that the point is on the curve first?
Seems to me that the deserialization logic of a point in the affine space should be:
x
,y
(x, y)
is on the curve, i.e. satisfies the curve equationDo I miss something? (Note: this code initially originates from the library, and has just been moved around in this PR - so this question applies to the current state of the library, as in master, for the deserialization of uncompressed points)

Note, it seems to me that, the same assumption is made in the deserialization of compressed points, since I can read here that the
sqrt
function does not terminate if the element is a quadratic non-residue in the field: https://github.com/scipr-lab/libff/blob/master/libff/algebra/fields/fp.hpp#L108We can "skip" the bullet
3.
above here since cofactor = 1, but why skipping bullet2.
? I'd be in favor to test for quadratic residuity using Euler's criterion (and the euler exponent defined here: https://github.com/scipr-lab/libff/blob/master/libff/algebra/fields/fp.hpp#L54) first, and only proceed if the test is valid.These functions act as I/O with the backend of the library, so I would be in favor to make no assumption about their input, and the parsed points.
As such, I would be in favor to add these checks. @dtebbs @madars @ValarDragon thoughts?
