I'm creating a tool that generates EC key pair. I'm new to the Elliptic Curve Algorithm. I started with this function:
public static void GenerateECPublicKey(byte[] p, byte[] g, byte[] a, byte[] b, byte[] x, byte[] y)
{
byte[] cofactor = Utilities.HexStringToByteArray("0000");
ECCurve curve = new ECCurve() {Prime = p, Order = g, A = a, B = b, G = new ECPoint() { X = x, Y = y },
CurveType = ECCurve.ECCurveType.PrimeShortWeierstrass, Cofactor = cofactor};
ECDsa ec = ECDsaCng.Create(ECCurve.NamedCurves.nistP256);
ec.GenerateKey(curve);
}
The problem is I'm having an exception: "Internal.Cryptography.CryptoThrowHelper.WindowsCryptographicException: 'Unknown error (0xc0000001)'". Unfortunately I couldn't find any information about this exception and what is causing the issue. Am I missing some components on the ECCurve?
Thank you in advance for the one who can help.
