$ openssl ecparam -genkey -name secp256k1 -noout -out eccprivatekey.pem $ cat eccprivatekey.pem -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- MHQCAQEEIMVmyrnEDOs7SYxS/AbXoIwqZqJ+gND9Z2/nQyzcpaPBoAcGBSuBBAAK oUQDQgAEEKKS4E4+TATIeBX8o2J6PxKkjcoWrXPwNRo/k4Y/CZA4pXvlyTgH5LYm QbU0qUtPM7dAEzOsaoXmetqB+6cM+Q== -----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
