Parameters

parameters

Byte[]

byte[]

An array of bytes containing the curve parameters.

Returns

CryptographicKey

Represents the generated Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) asymmetric key pair.

Examples

The following example creates a new ECDSA curve from curve parameters.

Byte[] myCurveParameters =
{
0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x14, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,

Remarks

The private key generated is a random integer. The public key is a point, with X and Y coordinates, on an ECDSA curve.
