Remarks

To use BCRYPT_ECDSA_ALGORITM or BCRYPT_ECDH_ALGORITHM, call BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider with either BCRYPT_ECDSA_ALGORITHM or BCRYPT_ECDH_ALGORITHM as the pszAlgId. Then use BCryptSetProperty to set the BCRYPT_ECC_CURVE_NAME property to a named algorithm listed in CNG Named Curves.

To provide user-defined elliptic curve parameters directly, use BCryptSetProperty to set the BCRYPT_ECC_PARAMETERS property. Download the Windows 10 Cryptographic Provider Developer Kit (CPDK) for more information.
