ECFieldFp

• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
private BigInteger	p

Constructors Summary
public ECFieldFp(BigInteger p) Creates an elliptic curve prime finite field with the specified prime p. param p the prime. exception NullPointerException if p is null. exception IllegalArgumentException if p is not positive. if (p.signum() != 1) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("p is not positive"); } this.p = p;

Methods Summary
public boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj) Compares this prime finite field for equality with the specified object. param obj the object to be compared. return true if obj is an instance of ECFieldFp and the prime value match, false otherwise. if (this == obj) return true; if (obj instanceof ECFieldFp) { return (p.equals(((ECFieldFp)obj).p)); } return false;
public int	getFieldSize() Returns the field size in bits which is size of prime p for this prime finite field. return the field size in bits. return p.bitLength();
public java.math.BigInteger	getP() Returns the prime p of this prime finite field. return the prime. return p;
public int	hashCode() Returns a hash code value for this prime finite field. return a hash code value. return p.hashCode();
