EC curve names

[Massimiliano Pala]

Hi all,

I was wondering: how do I verify if a pkey used in an ECDSA certificate is
on one specific curve ? Or, better, how to easily print out the txt identifier
of the curve used in a certificate ? That would be a useful addition to the
output in a ECDSA certificate. Something like:

   ...
   Curve Name: secp384r1
   ...

Or better, is there an easy way to know if a curve is one of the NIST
approved (SuiteB) ones ?

Cheers,
Max
