PivEccPrivateKey Class

Namespace: Yubico.YubiKey.Piv Assembly: Yubico.YubiKey.dll

This class holds an ECC private key, which consists of a private value.

C#
public sealed class PivEccPrivateKey : PivPrivateKey, IPrivateKey, IKeyBase
Inheritance object PrivateKey PivPrivateKey PivEccPrivateKey
Implements

Remarks

With a YubiKey, the private value must be the same size as a coordinate of a point on the curve. So for ECC P-256, each coordinate is 32 bytes (256 bits), so the private value will be 32 bytes.
