Properties

Algorithm

Select which curve (P-256, P-384, or P-512) to use for the Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).

Definition

  • The new public key and private key.

Example

The example below shows a simple usage scenario where the private key is stored in a database that is accessible only from the local machine and the public key is stored in a file on public network-attached storage.
