Generating EC Keys and Parameters
[bash]$ openssl ecparam -list_curves
secp256k1 : SECG curve over a 256 bit prime field
secp384r1 : NIST/SECG curve over a 384 bit prime field
secp521r1 : NIST/SECG curve over a 521 bit prime field
prime256v1: X9.62/SECG curve over a 256 bit prime field
An EC parameters file can then be generated for any of the built-in named curves as follows:
[bash]$ openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -out secp256k1.pem
[bash]$ cat secp256k1.pem
-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----
BgUrgQQACg==
-----END EC PARAMETERS-----
To generate a private/public key pair from a pre-eixsting parameters file use the following:
[bash]$ openssl ecparam -in secp256k1.pem -genkey -noout -out secp256k1-key.pem
[bash]$ cat secp256k1-key.pem
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
