hello, I'm trying to generate public/private keys with following commands: openssl ecparam -name secp256r1 -genkey -out pvtkey.pem openssl ec -in pvtkey.pem -pubout I'm seeing the sizeof private key as 164 bytes and public key as 124 bytes. In a wireshark capture( attached ), I'm seeing key length as 65 bytes. Can someone help me understand why the difference? Thanks & Regards -- Lokesh Chakka.
