Is there a standardized fixed-length encoding for EC public keys?
I was wondering if there was (and I hope there is) a standard for public key size for ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) and ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) for every curve type over prime fields (192, 224, 256, 384 and 521). emboss If you use one of the "named curves" then the public key size is fixed and dependent on the "field size" of your underlying curve. Compressed vs. uncompressed representation Public key sizes further depend on whether the "uncompressed" representation or the "compressed" representation is used. In the uncompressed form, the public key size is
