Public Key Generation

If the slot has been so configured, the ECC public key can be regenerated from a stored ECC private key and output on the bus. In addition, if so desired, a public key digest can also be generated and stored in TempKey at the same time.

For the ATECC608A-TNGLoRaWAN, the public key can be generated from the stored private key in Slot 1. Optional digest generation is also allowed.
