With the standardisation of the Brainpool curves as part of the crypto-refresh, we are renaming the NIST curves to avoid ambiguities.
This is a breaking change, as NIST curves identifiers and values in
enums.curveshave been renamed:enums.curve.p256,.p384,.p521are now marked as@deprecatedenums.curve.nistP256,.nistP384,.nistP521.'p256','p384','p521'to'nistP256','nistP384','nistP521'.Affected high-level API functions:
generateKey, theoptions.curveargument will expect the updated string valuesKey.getAlgorithmInfo()will return the updatedcurvevalues
