Standard curve database. This repository contains a list of standardised elliptic curves, collected from many standards by the team at Centre for Research on Cryptography and Security. For our other projects related to elliptic curve cryptography, see:

  • ECTester: A tool for testing black-box ECC implementations
  • pyecsca: A Python Elliptic Curve Side-Channel Analysis toolkit, focusing on reverse-engineering ECC implementations from devices
  • ecgen: A tool for generating EC domain parameters

The curve listing includes its parameters, computed characteristics such as number of points or j-invariant as well as SAGE code which can be used to instantiate the curve and a JSON export of all of the curve data. New curves are currently being added, the database is definitely not complete.

The presence of a certain curve in this database does not mean that the curve is secure, only that it is notable enough or that someone suggested its use in a publication or a standard. We made a best effort attempt to make sure all parameters presented here are correct, however mistakes could have happened on data import and thus double-checking with the source document is recommended.

Format

The curves are stored in JSON files, grouped by category/source in directories. See schema.json for the JSON schema of the files.
