Could you please provide a reference to document, defining this
convention?
Unfortunatelly table 3 in section B.2.1 of SEC 1 (both v1 and v2)
shows only comparison of "security level" of diffefent algorithmsm and
not related to the questions.
Well, I was offering table 3 merely as an example of where this
convention is used. Table 3 is comparing different key sizes for
different types of algorithm (It is labeled as "Comparable key sizes").
For ECC the key size is stated to be "size of n in bits" (where n is the
order).
