I've just added SpongyCastle to Eclipse for my Android Project, however I don't seem to be able to find a single good/complete example of how to use ECDSA for encryption & decryption of plain texts. I would imagine this should be a 'hello world' for ecnryption libraries.

Can anyone help me with this? or direct me towards some other resource that can help me achieve the same goals?

Thanks.

Here's the example from bouncycastle.org for generating a key, from there it's just standard use of the KeyPair. Also @nelenkov wrote a great article (as usual) on Elliptic curve on Android

ECGenParameterSpec ecGenSpec = new ECGenParameterSpec("prime192v1");
//using spongycastle provider
KeyPairGenerator  g = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("ECDSA", "SC");

g.initialize(ecGenSpec, new SecureRandom());

KeyPair pair = g.generateKeyPair();
