EllipticCurve
public EllipticCurve(ECField field, BigInteger a, BigInteger b)
Creates an elliptic curve with the specified elliptic fieldfield and the coefficients a andb.
Parameters:
field - the finite field that this elliptic curve is over.
a - the first coefficient of this elliptic curve.
b - the second coefficient of this elliptic curve.
Throws:
[NullPointerException](../../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if field,a, or b is null.
[IllegalArgumentException](../../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if a or b is not null and not in field.
EllipticCurve
public EllipticCurve(ECField field, BigInteger a, BigInteger b, byte[] seed)
Creates an elliptic curve with the specified elliptic fieldfield, the coefficients a andb, and the seed used for curve generation.
Parameters:
field - the finite field that this elliptic curve is over.
a - the first coefficient of this elliptic curve.
b - the second coefficient of this elliptic curve.
seed - the bytes used during curve generation for later validation. Contents of this array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.
Throws:
[NullPointerException](../../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if field,a, or b is null.
[IllegalArgumentException](../../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if a or b is not null and not in field.

getField
public ECField getField()
Returns the finite field field that this elliptic curve is over.
Returns:
the field field that this curve is over.
getA
public BigInteger getA()
Returns the first coefficient a of the elliptic curve.
Returns:
the first coefficient a.
getB
public BigInteger getB()
Returns the second coefficient b of the elliptic curve.

the second coefficient b.
getSeed
public byte[] getSeed()
Returns the seeding bytes seed used during curve generation. May be null if not specified.
Returns:
the seeding bytes seed. A new array is returned each time this method is called.
equals
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this elliptic curve for equality with the specified object.
Overrides:
[equals](../../../java/lang/Object.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in class [Object](../../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")
Parameters:
obj - the object to be compared.
Returns:
true if obj is an instance of EllipticCurve and the field, A, B, and seeding bytes match, false otherwise.
See Also:
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code value for this elliptic curve.
Overrides:
[hashCode](../../../java/lang/Object.html#hashCode%28%29) in class [Object](../../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")
Returns:
a hash code value.
