EC domain params instead of the OID in the pkcs8 key file?

[Stef Hoeben]

Hi,

using the openssl tool, we generated an Elliptic Curve key pair
and put it into a pkcs8 file:

   0   48: SEQUENCE {
   3    2:   INTEGER 0
   6   48:   SEQUENCE {
   8    6:     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ecPublicKey (1 2 840 10045 2 1)
  17    6:     OBJECT IDENTIFIER '1 2 840 10045 3 1 7'
         :     }
  27    4:   OCTET STRING, encapsulates {
  ...

However, instead of the 2nd object identifier (that tells which
EC it is), we'd need the domain parameters of the EC themselves.

It this possible with the openssl tool -- or with openssl itself?

Thanks!

Stef
