Aki, I just used the "EC key" instructions from the Dovecot MailCrypt wiki:

In order to generate an EC key, you must first choose a curve from the
output of this command:
> openssl ecparam -list_curves
If you choose the curve prime256v1, generate and EC key with the command:
> openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey | openssl pkey -out
ecprivkey.pem
Then generate a public key out of your private EC key
> openssl pkey -in ecprivkey.pem -pubout -out ecpubkey.pem
"
