From these web pages: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Command_Line_Elliptic_Curve_Operations https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/ecparam.html the "openssl ecparam -genkey" command does not accept a password. The (perhaps) equivalent "openssl genrsa" command does. Is there a openssl command that can generate an ECC key pair where the output file is password protected?
