java.lang.Object
- ibm.security.internal.spec.EdECPoint

```
public final class EdECPoint
extends java.lang.Object
```
An elliptic curve point used to specify keys as defined by RFC 8032: Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA). These points are distinct from the points represented by ECPoint, and they are intended for use with algorithms based on RFC 8032 such as the EdDSA Signature algorithm.
An EdEC point is specified by its y-coordinate value and a boolean that indicates whether the x-coordinate is odd. The y-coordinate is an element of the field of integers modulo some value p that is determined by the algorithm parameters. This field element is represented by a BigInteger, and implementations that consume objects of this class may reject integer values which are not in the range [0, p).
