Both \fBsrc\fR and \fBdst\fR must use the same \s-1EC_METHOD\s0. .PP EC_GROUP_dup creates a new \s-1EC_GROUP\s0 object and copies the content from \fBsrc\fR to the newly created \&\s-1EC_GROUP\s0 object. .PP EC_GROUP_method_of obtains the \s-1EC_METHOD\s0 of \fBgroup\fR. .PP EC_GROUP_set_generator sets curve paramaters that must be agreed by all participants using the curve. These paramaters include the \fBgenerator\fR, the \fBorder\fR and the \fBcofactor\fR. The \fBgenerator\fR is a well defined point on the curve chosen for cryptographic operations. Integers used for point multiplications will be between 0 and n\-1 where n is the \fBorder\fR. The \fBorder\fR multipied by the \fBcofactor\fR gives the number of points on the curve. .PP EC_GROUP_get0_generator returns the generator for the identified \fBgroup\fR. .PP The functions EC_GROUP_get_order and EC_GROUP_get_cofactor populate the provided \fBorder\fR and \fBcofactor\fR parameters with the respective order and cofactors for the \fBgroup\fR. .PP The functions EC_GROUP_set_curve_name and EC_GROUP_get_curve_name, set and get the \s-1NID\s0 for the curve respectively (see \fIEC_GROUP_new\fR\|(3)). If a curve does not have a \s-1NID\s0 associated with it, then EC_GROUP_get_curve_name will return 0. .PP The asn1_flag value on a curve is used to determine whether there is a specific \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1OID\s0 to describe the curve or not. If the asn1_flag is 1 then this is a named curve with an associated \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1OID\s0. If not then asn1_flag is 0. The functions EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag and EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag get and set the status of the asn1_flag for the curve. If set then the curve_name must also be set. .PP The point_coversion_form for a curve controls how \s-1EC_POINT\s0 data is encoded as \s-1ASN1\s0 as defined in X9.62 (\s-1ECDSA\s0). point_conversion_form_t is an enum defined as follows: .PP .Vb 10 \& typedef enum { \& /** the point is encoded as z||x, where the octet z specifies \& * which solution of the quadratic equation y is */ \& POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED = 2, \& /** the point is encoded as z||x||y, where z is the octet 0x02 */ \& POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED = 4, \& /** the point is encoded as z||x||y, where the octet z specifies \& * which solution of the quadratic equation y is */ \& POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID = 6 \& } point_conversion_form_t; .Ve .PP For \s-1POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED\s0 the point is encoded as an octet signifying the \s-1UNCOMPRESSED\s0 form has been used followed by the octets for x, followed by the octets for y. .PP For any given x co-ordinate for a point on a curve it is possible to derive two possible y values. For \&\s-1POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED\s0 the point is encoded as an octet signifying that the \s-1COMPRESSED\s0 form has been used \s-1AND\s0 which of the two possible solutions for y has been used, followed by the octets for x. .PP For \s-1POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID\s0 the point is encoded as an octet signifying the \s-1HYBRID\s0 form has been used \s-1AND\s0 which of the two possible solutions for y has been used, followed by the octets for x, followed by the octets for y. .PP The functions EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form and EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form set and get the point_conversion_form for the curve respectively. .PP \&\s-1ANSI\s0 X9.62 (\s-1ECDSA\s0 standard) defines a method of generating the curve parameter b from a random number. This provides advantages in that a parameter obtained in this way is highly unlikely to be susceptible to special purpose attacks, or have any trapdoors in it. If the seed is present for a curve then the b parameter was generated in a verifiable fashion using that seed. The OpenSSL \s-1EC\s0 library does not use this seed value but does enable you to inspect it using EC_GROUP_get0_seed. This returns a pointer to a memory block containing the seed that was used. The length of the memory block can be obtained using EC_GROUP_get_seed_len. A number of the builtin curves within the library provide seed values that can be obtained. It is also possible to set a custom seed using EC_GROUP_set_seed and passing a pointer to a memory block, along with the length of the seed. Again, the \s-1EC\s0 library will not use this seed value, although it will be preserved in any \s-1ASN1\s0 based communications. .PP EC_GROUP_get_degree gets the degree of the field. For Fp fields this will be the number of bits in p. For F2^m fields this will be the value m. .PP The function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant calculates the discriminant for the curve and verifies that it is valid. For a curve defined over Fp the discriminant is given by the formula 4*a^3 + 27*b^2 whilst for F2^m curves the discriminant is simply b. In either case for the curve to be valid the discriminant must be non zero. .PP The function EC_GROUP_check performs a number of checks on a curve to verify that it is valid. Checks performed include verifying that the discriminant is non zero; that a generator has been defined; that the generator is on the curve and has the correct order. .PP EC_GROUP_cmp compares \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR to determine whether they represent the same curve or not. .PP The functions EC_GROUP_get_basis_type, EC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis and EC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis should only be called for curves defined over an F2^m field. Addition and multiplication operations within an F2^m field are performed using an irreducible polynomial function f(x). This function is either a trinomial of the form: .PP f(x) = x^m + x^k + 1 with m > k >= 1 .PP or a pentanomial of the form: .PP f(x) = x^m + x^k3 + x^k2 + x^k1 + 1 with m > k3 > k2 > k1 >= 1 .PP The function EC_GROUP_get_basis_type returns a \s-1NID\s0 identifying whether a trinomial or pentanomial is in use for the field. The function EC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis must only be called where f(x) is of the trinomial form, and returns the value of \fBk\fR. Similary the function EC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis must only be called where f(x) is of the pentanomial form, and returns the values of \fBk1\fR, \&\fBk2\fR and \fBk3\fR respectively. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error: EC_GROUP_copy, EC_GROUP_set_generator, EC_GROUP_check, EC_GROUP_check_discriminant, EC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis and EC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis. .PP EC_GROUP_dup returns a pointer to the duplicated curve, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP EC_GROUP_method_of returns the \s-1EC_METHOD\s0 implementation in use for the given curve or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP EC_GROUP_get0_generator returns the generator for the given curve or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP EC_GROUP_get_order, EC_GROUP_get_cofactor, EC_GROUP_get_curve_name, EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag, EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form and EC_GROUP_get_degree return the order, cofactor, curve name (\s-1NID\s0), \s-1ASN1\s0 flag, point_conversion_form and degree for the specified curve respectively. If there is no curve name associated with a curve then EC_GROUP_get_curve_name will return 0. .PP EC_GROUP_get0_seed returns a pointer to the seed that was used to generate the parameter b, or \s-1NULL\s0 if the seed is not specified. EC_GROUP_get_seed_len returns the length of the seed or 0 if the seed is not specified. .PP EC_GROUP_set_seed returns the length of the seed that has been set. If the supplied seed is \s-1NULL\s0, or the supplied seed length is 0, the return value will be 1. On error 0 is returned. .PP EC_GROUP_cmp returns 0 if the curves are equal, 1 if they are not equal, or \-1 on error. .PP EC_GROUP_get_basis_type returns the values NID_X9_62_tpBasis or NID_X9_62_ppBasis (as defined in <openssl/obj_mac.h>) for a trinomial or pentanomial respectively. Alternatively in the event of an error a 0 is returned. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fIcrypto\fR\|(3), \fIec\fR\|(3), \fIEC_GROUP_new\fR\|(3), \&\fIEC_POINT_new\fR\|(3), \fIEC_POINT_add\fR\|(3), \fIEC_KEY_new\fR\|(3), \&\fIEC_GFp_simple_method\fR\|(3), \fId2i_ECPKParameters\fR\|(3)
