Creates a new cryptographic curve with the specified JOSE and standard names.

Parameters:

name - The JOSE name of the cryptographic curve. Must not be null.

stdName - The standard name of the cryptographic curve, null if not specified.

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Returns the JOSE name of this cryptographic curve.

Returns:

The JOSE name.

getStdName

public String getStdName()

Returns the standard name of this cryptographic curve.

Returns:

The standard name, null if not specified.

toECParameterSpec

public ECParameterSpec toECParameterSpec()
