  "definition": "1. When used as an FFC domain parameter, q is the (odd) prime number equal to the order of the multiplicative subgroup of GF(p)* generated by g. Note that q is a divisor of p - 1.\n\n2. When used as an ECC domain parameter, q is the field size. It is either an odd prime p or equal to 2^m, for some prime integer m.\n\n3. The octet length of the binary representation of the octet length of the payload.\n\n4. Second prime factor of the RSA modulus n.\n\n5. A bit string representation of the octet length of P.",
