Elliptic curve cryptography is becoming the standard for public key cryptography.  Unfortunately, there are no databases for elliptic curves with large parameters.  The new database (Arcana-ECDB) defines many cryptographically strong  elliptic curves (256 bits, 384 bits and 512 bits) in short Weierstrass form, Edwards form and Montgomery form. The database can be downloaded (GNU General Public License) from the download section of this website . A technical report is also available. Arcana-ECDB is a part of the project  Arcana developed by the laboratory eRISCS of the University of Marseille (France) and the Association ACrypTA.
