P256k1
as used in P256k1PrivKey
, P256k1PubKey
, etc. is a little unwieldy. And it is already inconsistent -- some instances are P256k1
and others are P256K1
(with a capital K
)
Java Crypto and Bouncy Castle both use EC
for Elliptic Curve. We are using the P256k1 subset of EC
, so some possible two-letter prefixes are:
PK
-- P256K1SP
-- SecPSJ
-- Secp256k1-Jdk
I do think the prefix is needed because we already have collisions between the Java Crypto ECPoint
and the Bouncy Castle ECPoint
, etc. And our types will need to co-exist in the same source files.
I'm looking for feedback. Should we shorten to two-letters? If so, which two letters? I'm open to a three letter combination, too. Maybe SPK
?
