Constructor Detail

ECParameterSpec

public ECParameterSpec(EllipticCurve curve,
               ECPoint g,
               BigInteger n,
               int h)

Creates elliptic curve domain parameters based on the specified values.

Parameters:

curve - the elliptic curve which this parameter defines.

g - the generator which is also known as the base point.

n - the order of the generator g.

h - the cofactor.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if curve, g, or n is null.

IllegalArgumentException - if n or h is not positive.
