Hello Group,
Hi Prashant,

Do we support curves K-163 (Group 7) and B-283 (Group 8) in the Elliptic 
curve implementation
in 9.7a ? . 
No, OpenSSL 0.9.7 supports only the basic arihtmetic for curves over
GF(p). For support of binary curves you must wait for 0.9.8
(try the current head).
Do we have any example program on how can we use it (I 
checked in the apps directory
and didn't find anything) ?. 
In the head are some examples (ectest, ecdsatest, apps/ec.c ...).

Also, is there any licensing/patent issue 
if we use this Elliptic curve
implementation in our product ?.
Don't know, but we tried to avoid patented algorithm.

Regards,
Nils

0.9.8 doesn't have a schedule yet.
