I see in "SEC 2: Recommended Elliptic Curve Domain ParametersVersion2.0"
that 'Recommend Elliptic Curve Domain Parameters over Fp' are secp192,
secp224, secp256, secp384, and secp521, secp128 and secp320 are not
recommended.
So you mean it's better not to include secp128 and secp320, right?

Thanks,
