Bouncy Castle FIPS 库中缺少 EC.generateKeyPair()

Question

The Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API in 100 Examples suggests multiple times the use of EC.generateKeyPair() . Assuming this references org.bouncycastle.crypto.general.EC (as this is the only class with name EC ) I'm not able to find a method generateKeyPair() . Where's the error and how to generate an according key pair?

Answer 1

From the PDF provided ( https://www.bouncycastle.org/fips-java/BCFipsIn100.pdf ):

Example 31 – Key Pair Generation

public static KeyPair generateKeyPair() throws GeneralSecurityException { KeyPairGenerator keyPair = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("EC", "BCFIPS"); keyPair.initialize(384); return keyPair.generateKeyPair(); }

The example will result in a key pair on the curve P-384. Other default curves available include P-224, P-256, and P-521.
