OpenSSL "genpkey ec_paramgen_curve:secp521r1" - EC Long Keys

Q

How to generate a new EC key pair with a longer key size using OpenSSL "genpkey" command?

✍: FYIcenter.com

A

If you need a new EC key pair with a longer key size for testing purpose, you can use the OpenSSL "genpkey" command as shown below:

C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl

OpenSSL> genpkey -genparam -algorithm ec -out ec_test.prm 
   -pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve:secp521r1

OpenSSL> genpkey -paramfile ec_test.prm -out ec_test.key

OpenSSL> pkey -in ec_test.key -text -noout
