New feature: Public key management support for Suite B
Configuring Suite B in public key management
Suite B contains a set of encryption and authentication algorithms that meet high security
requirements.
In this software version, Suite B is available in public key management. Support for new elliptic curve
algorithms was added for generating ECDSA key pairs.

Modified command: public-key local create
Old syntax
public-key local create { dsa | ecdsa | rsa } [ name key-name ]
New syntax
public-key local create { dsa | ecdsa [ secp192r1 | secp256r1 | secp384r1] | rsa } [ name

Change description
Before modification: The secp192r1 curve was used to generate the ECDSA key pair by default. No
other elliptic curve algorithms were available.
After modification: You can specify the elliptic curve used to generate the ECDSA key pair. The
following elliptic curve algorithms are available:
secp192r1: Uses the secp192r1 curve to generate a 192-bit ECDSA key pair. The secp192r1
curve is used by default.
secp256r1: Uses the secp256r1 curve to generate a 256-bit ECDSA key pair.
secp384r1: Uses the secp384r1 curve to generate a 384-bit ECDSA key pair.
