In cryptography, the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm offers a variant of the Digital Signature Algorithm which uses elliptic curve cryptography.

Elliptic Curve Digital Signature is a variant of algorithms. It allows in some cases a smaller public key (for instance, 160 bit in ecdsa compared to 1024 bit in dsa for 80 but security level), and requires the two sides to agree on a curve's field and equation, as well as a prime order on the curve and a multiplicative of the order.

Loading raw 64-byte long ECDSA public key in Java

I have a raw (r,s) format ECDSA NIST P-256 public key. It seems that there is no simple way to load it into an object that implements java.security.interfaces.ECPublicKey. What is the cleanest way to load a 64 byte public key so that it can be used…
