## Interface ECPointEncoder

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    BCDSTU4145PrivateKey, BCDSTU4145PublicKey, BCECGOST3410PrivateKey, BCECGOST3410PublicKey, BCECPrivateKey, BCECPublicKey, JCEECPrivateKey, JCEECPublicKey

      public interface ECPointEncoder

  All BC elliptic curve keys implement this interface. You need to cast the key to get access to it.

  By default BC keys produce encodings without point compression, to turn this on call setPointFormat() with "COMPRESSED".
