Java Eliptic Curve Cryptography Sign/verify Example

In this Post I am going to talk about the Elliptic curve encryption.First I will tell you why we use ECC. ECC is public-key Cryptography. ECC is used for the Authentication and authorization.Mainly The structure is like this way.In here(http://www.johannes-bauer.com/compsci/ecc/) you can see very good explanation how ECC works. .First Using public key we have sign data.and then using private key we can verify data.In here we verify that compare the signing data and what are the we input data.So I used bouncy castle for ECC. In here (http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html) You can download the bouncy castle jar and add to the Project.In here I First sign my data using Private key.Then I Verify the signing data using Public key.
