Compute a shared secret given your secret key and someone else's public key.
Compute a shared secret given your secret key and someone else's public key. If the public key
is not from a trusted source and has not been previously verified, you should verify it first

Note: It is recommended that you hash the result of uECC_shared_secret() before using it for
symmetric encryption or HMAC.
