ECField

public interface ECField
Known Indirect Subclasses

This interface represents an elliptic curve (EC) finite field. All specialized EC fields must implements this interface.

Public Method Summary

abstract int
getFieldSize()
Returns the field size in bits.

Public Methods

public abstract int getFieldSize ()

Returns the field size in bits. Note: For prime finite field ECFieldFp, size of prime p in bits is returned. For characteristic 2 finite field ECFieldF2m, m is returned.

Returns
  • the field size in bits.
