Hello,
currently sun.security.util.ECParameters.engineInit(byte[]) is limited
to parse named curves. A commented block outlining parsing of explicit
parameters is included below throwing "only named ECParameters
supported". That comment block seems to be unchanged from at least
jdk6 up until jdk10.
Is there any Plan to implement this at some time? Since I am needing
to implement it anyway, how could I provide that change?
I don't know of any plan to implement this feature. Modern RFCs only
allow named curves here, so this feature doesn't seem to be very
valuable. Can you share why you want to parse specified EC domain
parameters? Sharing the motivation behind your enhancement may help you
find a sponsor for it.
You can find the instructions for contributing here[1]. I suggest you
discuss the change a bit more before spending any time preparing a
patch. Also, make sure you sign the contributor agreement before sending
any code.
