Doc Text:
.OpenJDK now also supports secp256k1 Previously, Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK) could only use curves from the NSS library. Consequently, OpenJDK provided only the secp256r1, secp384r1, and secp521r1 curves for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). With this update, OpenJDK uses the internal ECC implementation and also supports the secp256k1 curve.

Description Andrew John Hughes 2019-08-29 12:26:13 UTC
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1699068

I am copying this bug because: 

We are introducing the curve on RHEL 7, so should do the same on RHEL 8.

Description of problem:
  I have a customer who is using RHEL 7.6 and java-11-openjdk-11.0.1.13-3.el7_6.x86_64(which we ship through rpm).
  While trying to fetch elliptic curve secp256k1 using small java program it is giving the below error instead of returning elliptic curve secp256k1

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[abc@abc]$ java ECKeypair.java 
Exception in thread "main" java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: Unknown curve name: secp256k1

When I am trying to run the programs mentioned in "Steps to Reproduce" using community version of Open JDK 11.0.2 General-Availability Release.

I am getting below output and program works fine
