public class ECParameterSpec implements AlgorithmParameterSpec { private final EllipticCurve curve; private final ECPoint g; private final BigInteger n; private final int h;
Creates elliptic curve domain parameters based on the specified values.
Params:
  • 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:
/** * Creates elliptic curve domain parameters based on the * specified values. * @param curve the elliptic curve which this parameter * defines. * @param g the generator which is also known as the base point. * @param n the order of the generator {@code g}. * @param h the cofactor. * @exception NullPointerException if {@code curve}, * {@code g}, or {@code n} is null. * @exception IllegalArgumentException if {@code n} * or {@code h} is not positive. */
