Thanks for the PR @mvayngrib! Love how you added a bunch of new curves.

I can merge this in soon but it'd be great if you could add some tests in with at least one of these curves before I do. Would you be up for that?

[mvayngrib]

@shea256 do you remember where you got the OpenSSL reference values?

[shea256]

I don't remember.

Here's one list thought: https://github.com/warner/python-ecdsa/blob/master/ecdsa/curves.py#L43

I think I got it from an RFC but I'm not sure which one at the moment unfortunately.

@mvayngrib Did you see the other curves in there?

[mvayngrib]

@shea256 no, sadly i didn't. For now i'm just testing it by cross sign-verify native<=>elliptic, which passes (the code is non-deterministic, but since we're planning to use openssl references anyway, who cares).

also: i also added lazy-eval for creating instances of elliptic curves. They're very expensive to create so it's better not to pre-create them.

test('elliptic sign => native verify compat', function (t) {
    var data = 'some data'
    var algorithm = 'sha256'
    var hash = crypto.createHash(algorithm).update(data).digest()
    for (var name in aliases) {
        var curve = curves[name].curve
        var encoder = new KeyEncoder(name)
        var key = curve.genKeyPair()
        var sig = key.sign(hash).toDER('hex')
        var pubHex = key.getPublic('hex')
        var pub = encoder.encodePublic(pubHex, 'raw', 'pem')
        var verified = crypto.createVerify(algorithm).update(data).verify(pub, sig, 'hex')
        t.ok(verified)
    }

    t.end()
})

test('native sign => elliptic verify compat', function (t) {
    var data = 'some data'
    var algorithm = 'sha256'
    var hash = crypto.createHash(algorithm).update(data).digest()
    for (var name in aliases) {
        var curve = curves[name].curve
        var encoder = new KeyEncoder(name)
        var ecdh = crypto.createECDH(aliases[name])
        ecdh.generateKeys()
        var priv = ecdh.getPrivateKey()
        var pem = encoder.encodePrivate(priv, 'raw', 'pem')
        var sig = crypto.createSign(algorithm).update(data).sign(pem, 'hex')
        var verified = curve.keyFromPrivate(priv).verify(hash, sig)
        t.ok(verified)
    }

    t.end()
})
