Well I don't see many other folks commenting on this but recognize that this same challenge may be presented to other folks moving from RSA to ECC. My latest thought is that what I am experiencing is similar to maximum clear text length available for encryption in RSA being defined by key length. So, in RSA a 2048 bit length key will provide for a clear text length (string) of just under 256 bytes. So, my error, it appears, was in thinking that I could encrypt the entirety of a long string via ECC but in reality I need to leverage a symmetric (like AES) solution to encrypt the larger string and then ECC to encrypt the password.

Obviously, elliptical curve cryptography is not my day job. :-) Feel free to provide clarity to the nonsense that I have described.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
