Remarks

The Validate method checks the integrity of the ECParameters structure, throwing a CryptographicException when it is not valid. The following are the requirements:

• Q.X and Q.Y are required fields and must have the same length.

• If the curve is an explicit curve, D is required and must have the same length as Curve.Order.

• If the curve is a named curve, D is required and must have the same length as Q.X and Q.Y.

• Curve.Validate must also succeed.
