1717This library provides key generation, signing, and verifying, for five
18- popular NIST "Suite B" GF(p) curves, with key lengths of 192, 224, 256, 384,
19- and 521 bits. The "short names" for these curves, as known by the OpenSSL
20- tool (` openssl ecparam -list_curves ` ), are: prime192v1, secp224r1,
21- prime256v1, secp384r1, and secp521r1. It also includes the 256-bit curve used
22- by Bitcoin, whose short name is secp256k1. No other curves are included, but
23- it would not be too hard to add more.
