Constructor Detail

ECParameterSpec

public ECParameterSpec(EllipticCurve curve,
                       ECPoint generator,
                       BigInteger order,
                       int cofactor)

Creates a new ECParameterSpec with the specified elliptic curve, the base point, the order of the generator (or base point) and the co-factor.

Parameters:

curve - the elliptic curve.

generator - the generator (or base point).

order - the order of the generator.

cofactor - the co-factor.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if order <= zero or cofactor <= zero.
