KeyCurve Property

This property specifies the elliptic curve used in the ECDSA or EdDSA key.

Syntax

 keymgr.getKeyCurve([callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getKeyCurve([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setKeyCurve([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property specifies the elliptic curve used in the ECDSA or EdDSA key. This property is only applicable if KeyPublicKeyAlgorithm is ECDSA or EdDSA. Possible values are:

ValuePublicKeyAlgorithmDescription
secp256r1 ECDSA NIST curve P-256
secp384r1 ECDSA NIST curve P-384
secp521r1 ECDSA NIST curve P-521
Ed25519 EdDSA Ed25519
secp256k1 EdDSA Secp256k1

This property is read-only and not available at design time.
