Constructor Detail

ECKey.Curve

public ECKey.Curve(String name)

Creates a new cryptographic curve with the specified name. The standard (JCA) curve name is not unspecified.

Parameters:

name - The name of the cryptographic curve. Must not be null.

ECKey.Curve

public ECKey.Curve(String name,
           String stdName)

Creates a new cryptographic curve with the specified name.

Parameters:

name - The JOSE name of the cryptographic curve. Must not be null.

stdName - The standard (JCA) name of the cryptographic curve, null if not specified.

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Gets the name of this cryptographic curve.

Returns:

The name.

getStdName

public String getStdName()

Gets the standard (JCA) name of this cryptographic curve.

Returns:

The standard (JCA) name.

toECParameterSpec

public ECParameterSpec toECParameterSpec()

Gets the Elliptic Curve parameter specification for this cryptographic curve.

Returns:

The EC parameter specification, null if this cryptographic curve has no standard (JCA) name specified or if lookup of the EC parameters failed.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

See Also:

getName()

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Overrides Object.equals().

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

object - The object to compare to.

Returns:

true if the objects have the same value, otherwise false.

parse

public static ECKey.Curve parse(String s)
                         throws ParseException

Parses a cryptographic curve from the specified string.

Parameters:

s - The string to parse. Must not be null.

Returns:

The cryptographic curve.

Throws:

ParseException - If the string couldn't be parsed.

forStdName

public static ECKey.Curve forStdName(String stdName)

Gets the cryptographic curve for the specified standard (JCA) name.

Parameters:

stdName - The standard (JCA) name. Must not be null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If no matching JOSE curve constant could be found.
