Hi Scott,

Thanks.

Use the Schoof program from the miracl library to
I've been working with Crypto++ for years, so I'd like to stay with
Wei's library. However, I may have to adapt to overcome...

You can also play with ECB (Elliptic Curve Builder):
This may be what I need. The prime p over GF(p) has to be greater than
64 bits. I'm not sure at this point if the cipher text will be too
large. I will write to the author, and ask him/her to change the Error
to a Warning; and then continue the calculation of the parameters.

Subject: ECC ECIES and Smaller Curves

Hi All,

The smallest curves available are 112 bits (GF(p)) and 113 bits (GF(2)).
I'd like to go even smaller - possibly down to 80 or 60 bits. Has anyone
attempted this before?

Also, Is it possible to define my curve based on a base class? The
Certicom curves appear to be defined in eccrypto.cpp based on OIDs
(among other things). I don't think there is a 'NULL' OID per se, so is
this against the spirit of ECC and using Wei's Library?

Finally, is there a 'RSA equivalent size' based on a smaller curve.
The documentation I have read is 160 bit ECC ~= 1024 bit RSA.

Jeff
