AI_ECParameters

Format of info returned by B_GetAlgorithmInfo:

pointer to an A_EC_PARAMS structure (see above).

Crypto-C procedures to use with algorithm object:

B_SetAlgorithmInfo and B_GetAlgorithmInfo.

Algorithm methods to include in application’s algorithm chooser:

None.

Compatible representation:

AI_ECParametersBER

Note: ANSI X9.62 “NAMED CURVE” representation is not preserved when calling B_GetAlgorithmInfo in AI_ECParameters. NAMED CURVE representation can be asserted when calling B_SetAlgorithmInfo by inserting an instance of FT_X962_NAMED_CURVE_TYPE into the argument fieldType. NAMED CURVE representation is propagated into the BER encoding.
