I am using the same version :
openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005
For a list of usable curves, just do :
openssl ecparam -list_curves
When i ry to run the above command i get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# openssl ecparam -list_curves
openssl:Error: 'ecparam' is an invalid command.
Why so?
And chose one to pass it to -name parameter as above.
openssl ecparam -genkey -text -name c2pnb163v3
ASN1 OID: c2pnb163v3
-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----
BggqhkjOPQMAAw==
-----END EC PARAMETERS-----
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
(...) [key value]
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
Add -out file_name for ease of use ;-)
The rest of the procedure remains the same ...
