=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
An B<EC_POINT> structure represents a point on a curve. A new point is
|
|
constructed by calling the function EC_POINT_new() and providing the
|
|
B<group> object that the point relates to.
|
|
|
|
EC_POINT_free() frees the memory associated with the B<EC_POINT>.
|
|
if B<point> is NULL nothing is done.
|
|
|
|
EC_POINT_clear_free() destroys any sensitive data held within the EC_POINT and
|
|
then frees its memory. If B<point> is NULL nothing is done.
|
|
|
|
EC_POINT_copy() copies the point B<src> into B<dst>. Both B<src> and B<dst>
|
|
must use the same B<EC_METHOD>.
|
|
|
|
EC_POINT_dup() creates a new B<EC_POINT> object and copies the content from
|
|
B<src> to the newly created B<EC_POINT> object.
|
|
|
|
EC_POINT_method_of() obtains the B<EC_METHOD> associated with B<point>.
|
|
|
|
A valid point on a curve is the special point at infinity. A point is set to
|
|
be at infinity by calling EC_POINT_set_to_infinity().
|
|
|
|
The affine co-ordinates for a point describe a point in terms of its x and y
|
|
position. The function EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates() sets the B<x> and B<y>
|
|
co-ordinates for the point B<p> defined over the curve given in B<group>. The
|
|
function EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates() sets B<x> and B<y>, either of which
|
|
may be NULL, to the corresponding coordinates of B<p>.
|
|
|
|
The functions EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp() and
|
|
EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m() are synonyms for
|
|
EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates(). They are defined for backwards compatibility
|
|
only and should not be used.
|
|
|
|
The functions EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GFp() and
|
|
EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m() are synonyms for
|
|
EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates(). They are defined for backwards compatibility
|
|
only and should not be used.
|
|
|
|
As well as the affine co-ordinates, a point can alternatively be described in
|
|
terms of its Jacobian projective co-ordinates (for Fp curves only). Jacobian
|
|
projective co-ordinates are expressed as three values x, y and z. Working in
|
|
this co-ordinate system provides more efficient point multiplication
|
|
operations. A mapping exists between Jacobian projective co-ordinates and
|
|
affine co-ordinates. A Jacobian projective co-ordinate (x, y, z) can be written
|
|
as an affine co-ordinate as (x/(z^2), y/(z^3)). Conversion to Jacobian
|
|
projective from affine co-ordinates is simple. The co-ordinate (x, y) is mapped
|
|
to (x, y, 1). To set or get the projective co-ordinates use
|
|
EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and
|
|
EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() respectively.
|
|
|
|
Points can also be described in terms of their compressed co-ordinates. For a
|
|
point (x, y), for any given value for x such that the point is on the curve
|
|
there will only ever be two possible values for y. Therefore a point can be set
|
|
using the EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates() function where B<x> is the x
|
|
co-ordinate and B<y_bit> is a value 0 or 1 to identify which of the two
|
|
possible values for y should be used.
|
|
|
|
The functions EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp() and
|
|
EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m() are synonyms for
|
|
EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates(). They are defined for backwards
|
|
compatibility only and should not be used.
|
|
|
|
In addition B<EC_POINT> can be converted to and from various external
|
|
representations. The octet form is the binary encoding of the B<ECPoint>
|
|
structure (as defined in RFC5480 and used in certificates and TLS records):
|
|
only the content octets are present, the B<OCTET STRING> tag and length are
|
|
not included. B<BIGNUM> form is the octet form interpreted as a big endian
|
|
integer converted to a B<BIGNUM> structure. Hexadecimal form is the octet
|
|
form converted to a NULL terminated character string where each character
|
|
is one of the printable values 0-9 or A-F (or a-f).
|
|
|
|
The functions EC_POINT_point2oct(), EC_POINT_oct2point(), EC_POINT_point2bn(),
|
|
EC_POINT_bn2point(), EC_POINT_point2hex() and EC_POINT_hex2point() convert from
|
|
and to EC_POINTs for the formats: octet, BIGNUM and hexadecimal respectively.
|
|
|
|
The function EC_POINT_point2oct() 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 still return the required buffer length.
|
|
|
|
The function EC_POINT_point2buf() allocates a buffer of suitable length and
|
|
writes an EC_POINT 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>.
|
|
|
|
The function EC_POINT_point2hex() will allocate sufficient memory to store the
|
|
hexadecimal string. It is the caller's responsibility to free this memory with
|
|
a subsequent call to OPENSSL_free().
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
EC_POINT_new() and EC_POINT_dup() return the newly allocated EC_POINT or NULL
|
|
