struct System.Security.Cryptography.ECCurve
Assembly: System.Security.Cryptography
Represents an elliptic curve.
Fields and Constants
public
byte[]
A
The first coefficient for an explicit curve. <c>A</c> for short Weierstrass, Montgomery, and Twisted Edwards curves.
public
byte[]
B
The second coefficient for an explicit curve. <c>B</c> for short Weierstrass and <c>d</c> for Twisted Edwards curves.
public
byte[]
Cofactor
The cofactor of the curve.
public
ECCurveType
CurveType
Identifies the composition of the <see cref="T:System.Security.Cryptography.ECCurve" /> object.
public
ECPoint
G
The generator, or base point, for operations on the curve.
public
Nullable`1
Hash
The name of the hash algorithm which was used to generate the curve coefficients ( <see cref="F:System.Security.Cryptography.ECCurve.A" /> and <see cref="F:System.Security.Cryptography.ECCurve.B" /> ) from the <see cref="F:System.Security.Cryptography.ECCurve.Seed" /> under the ANSI X9.62 generation algorithm. Applies only to explicit curves.
public
byte[]
Order
The order of the curve. Applies only to explicit curves.
public
byte[]
Polynomial
The curve polynomial. Applies only to characteristic 2 curves.
public
byte[]
Prime
The prime specifying the base field. Applies only to prime curves.
public
byte[]
Seed
The seed value for coefficient generation under the ANSI X9.62 generation algorithm. Applies only to explicit curves.
Properties
public
bool
IsCharacteristic2
Gets a value that indicates whether the curve type indicates an explicit characteristic 2 curve.
public
bool
IsExplicit
Gets a value that indicates whether the curve type indicates an explicit curve (either prime or characteristic 2).
public
bool
IsNamed
Gets a value that indicates whether the curve type indicates a named curve.
public
bool
IsPrime
Gets a value that indicates whether the curve type indicates an explicit prime curve.
public
Oid
Oid
Gets the identifier of a named curve.
Methods

Validate()
Validates the integrity of the current curve. Throws a <see cref="T:System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException" /> exception if the structure is not valid.
