I think you need an OID to put in the namedCurve field of EC Parameters structure, right? The structure is: Parameters::...

Hi, I have made a patch for enabling the use of ECDSA keys in the PKCS#11 support of ssh-agent which will be of interest to other users. I have tested it with P-256 keys. P-384 and P-521 should work out-of-the box. The code is ready for non-FIPS curves (named or explicit), but OpenSSH currently limits ECDSA to those 3 curves. At high level it works like the support for RSA, but because of
