=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<ec> command processes EC keys. They can be converted between various
-forms and their components printed out. B<Note> OpenSSL uses the
+forms and their components printed out. B<Note> OpenSSL uses the
private key format specified in 'SEC 1: Elliptic Curve Cryptography'
(http://www.secg.org/). To convert an OpenSSL EC private key into the
PKCS#8 private key format use the B<pkcs8> command.
