They relate to the type of elliptic curve. P is for polynomial basis curves. Also sometime referred to as prime modulus curves. B is for normal basis curves K is for Koblitz curves. These are special cases of normal basis curves that are faster for some operations. Bill -Original

Hello, They relate to the type of elliptic curve. P is for polynomial basis curves. Also sometime referred to as prime modulus curves. B is for normal basis curves I'm not sure, p-curves are prime filed elliptic curves GF(p) and all arithmetic is performed modulo p where p is treated as
