'  This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
'  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim ecc As Chilkat.Ecc
Set ecc = Chilkat.NewEcc

'  Generate a random ECC private key on the secp256k1 curve.
'  Chilkat also supports other curves, such as secp384r1, secp521r1, and secp256r1.

'  Create a Fortuna PRNG and seed it with system entropy.
'  This will be our source of random data for generating the ECC private key.
Dim fortuna As Chilkat.Prng
Set fortuna = Chilkat.NewPrng

'      privateKey     OCTET STRING,
'      parameters [0] ECParameters {{ NamedCurve }} OPTIONAL,
