The <em>openssl-pkey(1)</em> command should be used instead.</p>

<p>The <em>openssl-ec(1)</em> command processes EC keys. They can be converted between
|
||
|
|
various forms and their components printed out. <strong>Note</strong> OpenSSL uses the
|
||
|
|
private key format specified in 'SEC 1: Elliptic Curve Cryptography'
|
||
|
|
(http://www.secg.org/). To convert an OpenSSL EC private key into the
|
||
|
|
PKCS#8 private key format use the <em>openssl-pkcs8(1)</em> command.</p>
