Hi Team ,

I am try to convert KeyPair to String but unfortunately I am not able to convert String to KeyPair. Can you help me out in this.
Below is mention which I try.
KeyPair keyPairA = generateECKeys();
String p= keyPairA.toString();
//Need again to convert p to KeyPair

Security Provider "BC" will not work from API level 28.

Try to add SpongyCastle manually:
Security.insertProviderAt(new BouncyCastleProvider(), 1);

add this to your build.gradle dependencies:

/* spongy castle */
implementation "com.madgag.spongycastle:core:1.58.0.0"
implementation "com.madgag.spongycastle:prov:1.58.0.0"

Make sure the BouncyCastleProvider() was coming from spongycastle:
import org.spongycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider

You can download it at https://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html, and then put it in you project libs.

I solved the problem,
change KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("ECDH", "BC") to KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("ECDH", org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider())

@ zcdziura Hi, I just wanted to understand the example which you have shared uses an asymmetric form of encryption or symmetric. I am asking this question as to when I implemented this solution and after generating a shared secret I am getting both the key as same. So I am a bit doubtful about this. It will be great if you can help me to understand this.

The private and public keys are the same in the keypair.
