Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating where the library defines its default curve and hash, then inspect the related test coverage and run it. Done means the defaults are P-256 and SHA-256, with tests confirming the new behavior and no regressions.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The default curve is prime192v1 - weak, and deprecated/unusable in TLS 1.3
The default hash is sha1 - similarly, weak and deprecated/unusable in TLS 1.3
The library should default to P-256 (as the weakest/fastest curve generally considered safe) and SHA-256 (hash typically paired with it).
