Mar 20, 2017 at 18:36 comment added poncho Obvious question: are you sure you need to check the $y$ coordinate? For some protocols (e.g. ECDH, where the shared secret consists of only the $x$ coordinate), which $y$ coordinate you use literally does not matter. Of course, for other protocols, which $y$ coordinate you use is essential, and so your answer might be "yes, I'm sure..."
