Hello everybody.

Just a little dummy question:

I generated a keypair in this way:

 AutoSeededRandomPool rng;

 ECPrivateKey<EC2N> privkey(rng, ASN1::sect233k1());
 HexEncoder privkeysink(new FileSink("/root/Desktop/privkey.txt"));
 privkey.DEREncode(privkeysink);
 privkeysink.MessageEnd();   


 ECPublicKey<EC2N> pubkey(privkey);

 HexEncoder pubkeysink(new FileSink("/root/Desktop/pubkey.txt"));
 pubkey.DEREncode(pubkeysink);
 pubkeysink.MessageEnd();    



Now I don't know the dimension (in bit or byte) of my private key (also of my 
public key). How can I get them?

The file privkey.txt is 620 Bytes long and the pubey.txt 534 B. Are these the 
right number I'm searching for? I don't think so. 
Sorry for the stupid question, I tried to do by myself, but I didn't reach 
them :-(

                                Francesco
