Use compressed representation of public key during export

Open romanstrobl opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

The compressed representation of EC public keys provides following benefits:

  • the exported key is shorter, takes less space in database and during transport
  • the key format will be unified with PowerAuth mobile SDK
  • some of the invalid curve attacks are impossible with compressed key due to absence of the y coordinate
