∟Generating EC Public-Private Keys

This chapter provides tutorial notes on generating EC (Elliptic Curve) keys with Python scripts. Topics covered include using the cryptography and PyCryptodome libraries to generate EC private-public key pairs; selecting different elliptic curves; exporting and importing EC keys.

"cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec" - Generate EC Keys

"serialization.load_pem_private_key()" - Load EC Private Key

"Crypto.PublicKey.ECC" - Generate EC Keys

Takeaways:

Use the generate_private_key() method of the cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec module in the "cryptography" library to generate EC private-public key pairs.
Use the load_pem_private_key() method of the cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization module in the "PyCryptodome" library to import EC private key file.
Use the generate() method of the Crypto.PublicKey.ECC module in the "PyCryptodome" library to generate EC private-public key pairs.
