Constructor Detail

ECParameterSpec

public ECParameterSpec(EllipticCurve curve, ECPoint g, BigInteger n, int h)

Creates elliptic curve domain parameters based on the specified values.

Parameters:

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:

[NullPointerException](../../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if curve,g, or n is null.

[IllegalArgumentException](../../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if n or h is not positive.
