@Immutable
public final class ECKey
extends JWK

Public and private Elliptic Curve JSON Web Key (JWK). Uses the BouncyCastle.org provider for EC key import and export. This class is immutable.

Example JSON object representation of a public EC JWK:

 {
   "kty" : "EC",
   "crv" : "P-256",
   "x"   : "MKBCTNIcKUSDii11ySs3526iDZ8AiTo7Tu6KPAqv7D4",
   "y"   : "4Etl6SRW2YiLUrN5vfvVHuhp7x8PxltmWWlbbM4IFyM",
   "use" : "enc",
   "kid" : "1"
 }
 

Example JSON object representation of a public and private EC JWK:

 {
   "kty" : "EC",
   "crv" : "P-256",
   "x"   : "MKBCTNIcKUSDii11ySs3526iDZ8AiTo7Tu6KPAqv7D4",
   "y"   : "4Etl6SRW2YiLUrN5vfvVHuhp7x8PxltmWWlbbM4IFyM",
