RSA Security 5 manual Characteristic

AI_ECKeyGen

Format of info returned by B_GetAlgorithmInfo:

B_GetAlgorithmInfo is not supported with this AI. If called, it will return an error.

Crypto-C procedures to use with algorithm object:

B_GenerateInit and B_GenerateKeypair.

B_GenerateKeypair sets the publicKey key object with the KI_ECPublic or KI_ECPublicBER information; and it sets the privateKey key object with the KI_ECPrivate or KI_ECPrivateBER information. You must pass an initialized random algorithm to B_GenerateKeypair.

Algorithm methods to include in application’s algorithm chooser:

AM_ECFP_KEY_GEN for odd prime fields and AM_ECF2POLY_KEY_GEN for even

characteristic.
