RFC 4492 5.1.1


The named curves defined here are those specified in SEC 2 [13]. Note that many of these curves
are also recommended in ANSI X9.62 [7] and FIPS 186-2 [11]. Values 0xFE00 through 0xFEFF are
reserved for private use. Values 0xFF01 and 0xFF02 indicate that the client supports arbitrary
prime and characteristic-2 curves, respectively (the curve parameters must be encoded explicitly
in ECParameters).
