Four different EC curve parameters generation methods are implemented.
Generation Methods of Elliptic Curves - [Baier, Buchmann]
-p / --prime
generates curves until a prime order curve is found.-K / --koblitz
generates a Koblitz curve.-u / --unique
generates a uniquely generated curve (with one generator/cyclic group).--twist
generates a curve and then produces it quadratic twist.-i / --invalid
option.-n / --order
option.polclass()
function or the implemented class polynomial algorithm from IEEE P1363--anomalous
option.ecgen can be built using Make or CMake. ecgen uses git submodules for testing at:
test/lib/assert.sh
pointing at https://github.com/J08nY/assert.shtest/lib/JSON.sh
pointing at https://github.com/jimklimov/JSON.shtest/lib/criterion
pointing at https://github.com/Snaipe/Criterionthese need to be initialized for make test
to work.

ecgen uses the PARI/GP library for elliptic curve arithmetic and it's SEA point counting algorithm implementation. It also requires the additional seadata package (seadata and seadata-big recommended for large curves).
ecgen uses some extensions supported by the gcc and clang compilers, namely __thread
-local storage.
