ECC private key is longer than public key
<p>I have generated ECC public and private key using secp192r1 curve. I get 75 for public and 125 for private encoded key array length. Why private key is longer than public key? Why private key is not longer two times than public? Why private key is not 192 bits = 24 bytes because of secp192r1?</p>

<pre><code>Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());

ECNamedCurveParameterSpec ecSpec = ECNamedCurveTable.getParameterSpec("secp192r1");

KeyPairGenerator g = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("ECDSA", "BC");
g.initialize(ecSpec, new SecureRandom());
KeyPair pair = g.generateKeyPair();

System.out.println(pair.getPublic().getEncoded().length);
System.out.println(pair.getPrivate().getEncoded().length);
