 Yes and no. According to the source of the crypto module generate_key/3does accept a private key only for a few encryption method types.This is the only function head that matches ecdh: generate_key(ecdh, Curve, undefined) -> ... There's no definition for ecdh with a 3rd param that is notundefined.   ...and generate_key/2 calls the above one: generate_key(Type, Params) ->
    generate_key(Type, Params, undefined).  It would be the function I'm after...

>>Hi, How can I generate an ECDSA public key from the private one using crypto?All I can do with it is to generate a public and private key pair at once:   {Pub, Priv} = crypto:generate_key(ecdh, prime239v3). but can't calculate the public key if the private key was known beforehand. (prime239v3 isn't important, it could be any EC curve...)
