Looking at the proposed native crypto browser support (should arrive in the next year) http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/#EcKeyGenParams-dictionary We see: enum NamedCurve { // NIST recommended curve P-256, also known as secp256r1. "P-256", // NIST recommended curve P-384, also known as secp384r1. "P-384", // NIST recommended curve P-521, also known as secp521r1. "P-521" }; I wonder if we might be able to get bitcoin's curve in there For more background on Koblitz curve used by bitcoin see: https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=2699.0
