[openssl-users] Generate ECC key with password protection

 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?
