All Implemented Interfaces:
AsymmetricJWK, CurveBasedJWK, Serializable
@Immutable public final class ECKey extends JWK implements AsymmetricJWK, CurveBasedJWK
Public and private Elliptic Curve JSON Web Key (JWK). This class is immutable.

Supported curves:

Provides EC JWK import from / export to the following standard Java interfaces and classes:

Example JSON object representation of a public EC JWK: 

 {
   "kty" : "EC",
   "crv" : "P-256",
   "x"   : "MKBCTNIcKUSDii11ySs3526iDZ8AiTo7Tu6KPAqv7D4",
   "y"   : "4Etl6SRW2YiLUrN5vfvVHuhp7x8PxltmWWlbbM4IFyM",
   "use" : "enc",
   "kid" : "1"
 }

Example JSON object representation of a private EC JWK: 

 {
   "kty" : "EC",
   "crv" : "P-256",
   "x"   : "MKBCTNIcKUSDii11ySs3526iDZ8AiTo7Tu6KPAqv7D4",
   "y"   : "4Etl6SRW2YiLUrN5vfvVHuhp7x8PxltmWWlbbM4IFyM",
   "d"   : "870MB6gfuTJ4HtUnUvYMyJpr5eUZNP4Bk43bVdj3eAE",
   "use" : "enc",
   "kid" : "1"
 }

Use the builder to create a new EC JWK: 

 ECKey key = new ECKey.Builder(Curve.P_256, x, y)
        .keyUse(KeyUse.SIGNATURE)
        .keyID("1")
        .build();
