Reasons for importing keys include wanting to make a backup of a private key (generated keys are non-exportable, for security reasons), or if the private key is provided by an external source. This document will guide you through using the OpenSSL command line tool to generate a key pair which you can then import into a YubiKey. Nov 06, 2017 Creating ECC Certificates. Previously on Building an OpenSSL CA, we created a certificate revocation list, OCSP certificate, and updated our OpenSSL configuration file to include revokation URI data.Now we are ready to create our first server certificate and sign them with our fully armed and operational CA.
As of version 2.6.2 DidiSoft OpenPGP Library for Java fully supports Elliptic Curve cryptography (ECC) in OpenPGP as defined in RFC 6637.
In this chapter we are going to make a short introduction to the new ECC encryption and illustrate how to generate your first ECC OpenPGP key pair.
1. What is Elliptic Curve cryptography?

Elliptic Curve cryptography provides asymmetric (public key) cryptography based on mathematic operations with Elliptic Curves over finite fields.
An ECC OpenPGP key consists of a master key which is used for EC DSA signing and an encryption sub key which is used for EC Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) encryption.
Currently the standard for ECC in OpenPGP (RFC 6637) defines three elliptic curves over the finite field of prime numbers introduced by the National Security Agency (NSA) during the 2005 RSA conference: NIST P-256, NIST P-384, NIST-521 (the number shows the finite field of prime numbers with the same size in bits).
Some OpenPGP implementations like GnuPG/gpg has added support for Brainpool curves as well, which we support too as of version 3.1.3.
The weakest ECC OpenPGP key pairs (over curve NIST-256) can be compared with a 3072 bit ElGamal or 3072 bit RSA key pair.
Please check section “Security considerations” for more information.
Creating an ECC OpenPGP key pair is done with a new set of methods with common name generateEccKeyPair, available in the KeyStore and PGPKeyPair classes.
The supported values for the ECC curve are :
Below is an example that shows how to generate an ECC key pair with no expiration date and default cipher, compression and hashing key preferences.
The following software products are known to support ECC in OpenPGP as of the time of this writing:
Symantec PGP Command line 10.2.+
GnuPG 2.1+
This chapter introduced the new Elliptic Curve (ECC) OpenPGP keys defined in RFC 6637 . As of version 2.6.2 DidiSoft OpenPGP Library for Java fully supports this extension of the OpenPGP standard.
Usage of the new type of OpenPGP keys is transparent once you upgrade to version 2.6.2 or above.

Key generation is done though the methods generateEccKeyPair available in the KeyStore and PGPKeyPair classes.
