As @AdolfinWolf said, when you encrypt any data with the Elliptic Curve Cripto Family, you create a random key called ephemeral key, and this key is used in the calculations AND ONLY ONCE, it is a disposable one. If this key is reused, is even possible to find your private key(and this already happened in the past).
