Hi,
NIST's FIPS PUB 186-3 defines curve P-521 (take from NSA Suite B). Take
a look at :
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips186-3/fips_186-3.pdf .
You are certainly confusing it with Brainpool ECC curve P-512.
Cheers,

Hi, everyone.
The file crypto/bn/bn_nist.c seems to have some mis-named symbols, e.g.,
BN_NIST_521_TOP
BN_get0_nist_prime_521
BN_get0_nist_prime_521
BN_NIST_521_RSHIFT
BN_nist_mod_521
…etc.
Itlooks likethey all should be“512”
I see thisat least as early as0.9.8o,and it’s been carried forward
into1.0.0c,openssl-1.0.1-stable-SNAP-20110201, andopenssl-SNAP-20110201.
Thanks,
Paul
