### NIST B-283 Elliptic Curve

I'm new to Sage so forgive me if this is simple. I am trying to define the NIST B-283 elliptic curve as follows:

def B283_test():
order = 2**283
a = 1
b = 0x027B680AC8B8596DA5A4AF8A19A0303FCA97FD7645309FA2A581485AF6263E313B79A2F5
K.<x>= GF(2)[]
K.<a> = GF(order=order, name='a', modulus=x^283 + x^12 + x^7 + x^5 + 1 )
B283_curve = EllipticCurve(K, [1,a,0,0,b])


I get a fairly long traceback after the last line followed by:

OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int


Any help is appreciated.
