CreateECDSAKeys
Creates a new Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) public/private key pair.
In the diagram below, the keys are stored appropriately, where the private key will be used to sign data and
the public key used to verify the signature.

Properties
Algorithm
Select which curve to use for the Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
Options:
P-256
P-384
P-512
Definition
The new public key and private key.
Example
A simple usage scenario is where the private key is created and then stored in a database that is accessible only from the local machine, while the public key is stored in a file on a public network.
