What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Navigate to pubkeys dialog
2. Click the "Generate" button
3. Fill in name
4. Select EC key type
5. Click generate
6. Do randomness swipes
What is the expected output?
Successful key generation. Or on failure - a messagebox stating so.
What do you see instead?
Silent failure. The generation dialog goes away with no indication of failure.
Logcat shows the following:
D/ConnectBot.GeneratePubkeyActivity( 8446): entropy gathered; attemping to
generate key...
E/ConnectBot.GeneratePubkeyActivity( 8446): Could not generate key pair

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm using gingerbread on an HTC EVO.
I've found that EC key generation to be finicky in Java. You may have to try
using the ECDSA key generator type... or as a fallback, pull in the ECDSA
pieces from bouncy-castle.
