=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
An EC_KEY represents a public key and, optionally, the associated private
|
|
key. A new EC_KEY with no associated curve can be constructed by calling
|
|
EC_KEY_new(). The reference count for the newly created EC_KEY is initially
|
|
set to 1. A curve can be associated with the EC_KEY by calling
|
|
EC_KEY_set_group().
|
|
|
|
Alternatively a new EC_KEY can be constructed by calling
|
|
EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name() and supplying the nid of the associated curve. See
|
|
L<EC_GROUP_new(3)> for a description of curve names. This function simply
|
|
wraps calls to EC_KEY_new() and EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name().
|
|
|
|
Calling EC_KEY_free() decrements the reference count for the EC_KEY object,
|
|
and if it has dropped to zero then frees the memory associated with it. If
|
|
B<key> is NULL nothing is done.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_copy() copies the contents of the EC_KEY in B<src> into B<dest>.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_dup() creates a new EC_KEY object and copies B<ec_key> into it.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_up_ref() increments the reference count associated with the EC_KEY
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_generate_key() generates a new public and private key for the supplied
|
|
B<eckey> object. B<eckey> must have an EC_GROUP object associated with it
|
|
before calling this function. The private key is a random integer (0 < priv_key
|
|
< order, where I<order> is the order of the EC_GROUP object). The public key is
|
|
an EC_POINT on the curve calculated by multiplying the generator for the
|
|
curve by the private key.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_check_key() performs various sanity checks on the EC_KEY object to
|
|
confirm that it is valid.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates() sets the public key for B<key> based
|
|
on its affine co-ordinates; i.e., it constructs an EC_POINT object based on
|
|
the supplied B<x> and B<y> values and sets the public key to be this
|
|
EC_POINT. It also performs certain sanity checks on the key to confirm
|
|
that it is valid.
|
|
|
|
The functions EC_KEY_get0_group(), EC_KEY_set_group(),
|
|
EC_KEY_get0_private_key(), EC_KEY_set_private_key(), EC_KEY_get0_public_key(),
|
|
and EC_KEY_set_public_key() get and set the EC_GROUP object, the private key,
|
|
and the EC_POINT public key for the B<key> respectively.
|
|
|
|
The functions EC_KEY_get_conv_form() and EC_KEY_set_conv_form() get and set the
|
|
point_conversion_form for the B<key>. For a description of
|
|
point_conversion_forms please see L<EC_POINT_new(3)>.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_set_flags() sets the flags in the B<flags> parameter on the EC_KEY
|
|
object. Any flags that are already set are left set. The flags currently
|
|
defined are EC_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW and EC_FLAG_FIPS_CHECKED. In
|
|
addition there is the flag EC_FLAG_COFACTOR_ECDH which is specific to ECDH.
|
|
EC_KEY_get_flags() returns the current flags that are set for this EC_KEY.
|
|
EC_KEY_clear_flags() clears the flags indicated by the B<flags> parameter; all
|
|
other flags are left in their existing state.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_set_asn1_flag() sets the asn1_flag on the underlying EC_GROUP object
|
|
(if set). Refer to L<EC_GROUP_copy(3)> for further information on the
|
|
asn1_flag.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_precompute_mult() stores multiples of the underlying EC_GROUP generator
|
|
for faster point multiplication. See also L<EC_POINT_add(3)>.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_oct2key() and EC_KEY_key2buf() are identical to the functions
|
|
EC_POINT_oct2point() and EC_KEY_point2buf() except they use the public key
|
|
EC_POINT in B<eckey>.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_oct2priv() and EC_KEY_priv2oct() convert between the private key
|
|
component of B<eckey> and octet form. The octet form consists of the content
|
|
octets of the B<privateKey> OCTET STRING in an B<ECPrivateKey> ASN.1 structure.
|
|
|
|
The function EC_KEY_priv2oct() must be supplied with a buffer long enough to
|
|
store the octet form. The return value provides the number of octets stored.
|
|
Calling the function with a NULL buffer will not perform the conversion but
|
|
will just return the required buffer length.
|
|
|
|
The function EC_KEY_priv2buf() allocates a buffer of suitable length and writes
|
|
an EC_KEY to it in octet format. The allocated buffer is written to B<*pbuf>
|
|
and its length is returned. The caller must free up the allocated buffer with a
|
|
call to OPENSSL_free(). Since the allocated buffer value is written to B<*pbuf>
|
|
the B<pbuf> parameter B<MUST NOT> be B<NULL>.
|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_priv2buf() converts an EC_KEY private key into an allocated buffer.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
EC_KEY_get_flags() returns the flags associated with the EC_KEY object as an
|
|
