Key Storage Format (ECC)

• By default elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) keys are created as DER-encoded files with the format
  • SubjectPublicKeyInfo as per [RFC5480] for public keys
  • EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo as per PKCS#8 for private keys.
• Other file formats for ECC are available: see Elliptic Curve Cryptography.
• Public ECC keys can be read directly from an X.509 certificate [New in v12.0]. See ECC_ReadPublicKey.
