Hi Valerie, Sorry for delayed response, I've been away :-( Turns out there is a bug report for this already, although related to RSA keys, not EC as in my case. https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8183107 I can not add additional information to the issue of course, but the info

Thanks for the feedback. I suppose we can ignore values which obviously don't make sense such as 0 or max being less than min key size. However, if the underlying PKCS11 library vendors forgot to update the max value as in your comment#2, supposedly they should fix it. I am not too keen to add
