Just to clarify that a bit. EC keys are most comonly represented by named curves instead of explicit parameters. Unfortunately the default is to use explicit parameters and there's nothing (yet!) at an EVP_PKEY level to change that. They way you can change it is to either take the generated key or parameters and do something like this: EC_KEY *ec = EVP_PKEY_get1_EC(key); EC_KEY_set_asn1_flag(ec, OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE); EC_KEY_free(ec); Steve. -- Dr Stephen N.
