Class PrimeTwistedEdwardsCurveFactory

java.lang.Object

iaik.security.ec.math.curve.PrimeTwistedEdwardsCurveFactory

public final class PrimeTwistedEdwardsCurveFactory
extends Object

This general-purpose factory generates prime Weierstrass-type elliptic curves for given parameters.

The user can choose between various coordinate systems, which are listed in CoordinateTypes. By default a curve using the fastest coordindate type available will be returned.
