openssl_get_curve_names

(PHP 7 >= 7.1.0)

openssl_get_curve_names — Gets list of available curve names for ECC

Description

openssl_get_curve_names ( ) : array

Gets the list of available curve names for use in Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for public/private key operations. The two most widely standardized/supported curves are prime256v1 (NIST P-256) and secp384r1 (NIST P-384).

**Approximate Equivalancies of AES, RSA, DSA and ECC Keysizes**
AES Symmetric Keysize (Bits)	RSA and DSA Keysize (Bits)	ECC Keysize (Bits)
80	1024	160
112	2048	224
128	3072	256
192	7680	384
256	15360	512

» NIST recommends using ECC curves with at least 256 bits.

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

Return Values

An array of available curve names.

Examples

Example #1 openssl_get_curve_names() example

<?php
$curve_names = openssl_get_curve_names();
print_r($curve_names);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:
