39 An EC_KEY represents a public key and (optionally) an associated private key. A new EC_KEY (with no associated curve) can be constructed by calling EC_KEY_new().
40 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
43 Alternatively a new EC_KEY can be constructed by calling EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name() and supplying the nid of the associated curve. Refer to L<EC_GROUP_new(3)> for a description of curve names. This function simply wraps calls to EC_KEY_new() and
44 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name().
46 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
48 If B<key> is NULL nothing is done.
50 EC_KEY_copy() copies the contents of the EC_KEY in B<src> into B<dest>.
52 EC_KEY_dup() creates a new EC_KEY object and copies B<ec_key> into it.
54 EC_KEY_up_ref() increments the reference count associated with the EC_KEY object.
56 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
57 associated with it before calling this function. The private key is a random integer (0 < priv_key < order, where order is the order
58 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
61 EC_KEY_check_key() performs various sanity checks on the EC_KEY object to confirm that it is valid.
63 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
64 object based on the supplied B<x> and B<y> values and sets the public key to be this EC_POINT. It will also performs certain sanity checks
65 on the key to confirm that it is valid.
67 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.
69 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
70 of point_conversion_forms please refer to L<EC_POINT_new(3)>.
72 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 currently defined standard flags 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 and is defined in ecdh.h. 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.
74 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.
76 EC_KEY_precompute_mult() stores multiples of the underlying EC_GROUP generator for faster point multiplication. See also L<EC_POINT_add(3)>.
81 EC_KEY_new(), EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name() and EC_KEY_dup() return a pointer to the newly created EC_KEY object, or NULL on error.
83 EC_KEY_get_flags() returns the flags associated with the EC_KEY object as an integer.
85 EC_KEY_copy() returns a pointer to the destination key, or NULL on error.
87 EC_KEY_up_ref(), EC_KEY_set_group(), EC_KEY_set_private_key(), EC_KEY_set_public_key(), EC_KEY_precompute_mult(), EC_KEY_generate_key(), EC_KEY_check_key() and EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates() return 1 on success or 0 on error.
89 EC_KEY_get0_group() returns the EC_GROUP associated with the EC_KEY.
91 EC_KEY_get0_private_key() returns the private key associated with the EC_KEY.
93 EC_KEY_get_conv_form() return the point_conversion_form for the EC_KEY.
