For a project I am working on, I have a need to encode/decode elliptic curve points using point compression[1]. As this is not yet supported natively by the cryptography library, I have started implementing it myself but have hit a snag. Unlike the uncompressed point encoding, in order to decode a compressed curve point I need to be able to reference the curve parameters. I have been searching through the cryptography documentation and code but cannot find any way of retrieving these values from the backend.
Is there a method for this that I am missing, or is this functionality not yet available? thanks --Matt [1] 2.3.3/2.3.4 http://www.secg.org/sec1-v2.pdf
