!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] (also seen as: [Secp256r1] prime256v1 [1.2.840.10045.3.1.7]) is a [Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm] using a 256-[bit] prime field Weierstrass elliptic function [Elliptic Curve].


A randomly generated curve. SEC2v1 states 'E was chosen verifiably at random as specified in [ANSI] X9.62 1 from the seed'.

[{$pagename}] is used in [WebAuthN] ([U2F]), and [CBOR]

The [Digital Signature Standard] defines [Elliptic Curve] [{$pagename}]:
