Both \fBsrc\fR and \fBdst\fR must use the same EC_METHOD. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_dup()\fR creates a new EC_GROUP object and copies the content from \fBsrc\fR to the newly created +EC_GROUP object. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_method_of()\fR obtains the EC_METHOD of \fBgroup\fR. +This function was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0, since EC_METHOD is no longer a public concept. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_set_generator()\fR sets curve parameters that must be agreed by all participants using the curve. These +parameters 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 multiplied by the \fBcofactor\fR gives the number of points on the curve. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get0_generator()\fR returns the generator for the identified \fBgroup\fR. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_order()\fR retrieves the order of \fBgroup\fR and copies its value into +\&\fBorder\fR. It fails in case \fBgroup\fR is not fully initialized (i.e., its order +is not set or set to zero). +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_cofactor()\fR retrieves the cofactor of \fBgroup\fR and copies its value +into \fBcofactor\fR. It fails in case \fBgroup\fR is not fully initialized or if the +cofactor is not set (or set to zero). +.PP +The functions \fBEC_GROUP_set_curve_name()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_get_curve_name()\fR, set and get the NID for the curve respectively +(see \fBEC_GROUP_new\fR\|(3)). If a curve does not have a NID associated with it, then EC_GROUP_get_curve_name +will return NID_undef. +.PP +The asn1_flag value is used to determine whether the curve encoding uses +explicit parameters or a named curve using an ASN1 OID: many applications only +support the latter form. If asn1_flag is \fBOPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE\fR then the +named curve form is used and the parameters must have a corresponding +named curve NID set. If asn1_flags is \fBOPENSSL_EC_EXPLICIT_CURVE\fR the +parameters are explicitly encoded. The functions \fBEC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()\fR and +\&\fBEC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()\fR get and set the status of the asn1_flag for the curve. +Note: \fBOPENSSL_EC_EXPLICIT_CURVE\fR was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0, for +previous versions of OpenSSL the value 0 must be used instead. Before OpenSSL +1.1.0 the default form was to use explicit parameters (meaning that +applications would have to explicitly set the named curve form) in OpenSSL +1.1.0 and later the named curve form is the default. +.PP +The point_conversion_form for a curve controls how EC_POINT data is encoded as ASN1 as defined in X9.62 (ECDSA). +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 0x04 */ +\& 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 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED the point is encoded as an octet signifying the UNCOMPRESSED form has been used followed by +the octets for x, followed by the octets for y. +.PP +For any given x coordinate for a point on a curve it is possible to derive two possible y values. For +POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED the point is encoded as an octet signifying that the COMPRESSED form has been used AND which of +the two possible solutions for y has been used, followed by the octets for x. +.PP +For POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID the point is encoded as an octet signifying the HYBRID form has been used AND 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 \fBEC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()\fR, set and get the point_conversion_form +for the curve respectively. +.PP +ANSI X9.62 (ECDSA 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 EC library +does not use this seed value but does enable you to inspect it using \fBEC_GROUP_get0_seed()\fR. This returns a pointer to a memory block +containing the seed that was used. The length of the memory block can be obtained using \fBEC_GROUP_get_seed_len()\fR. A number of the +built-in curves within the library provide seed values that can be obtained. It is also possible to set a custom seed using +\&\fBEC_GROUP_set_seed()\fR and passing a pointer to a memory block, along with the length of the seed. Again, the EC library will not use +this seed value, although it will be preserved in any ASN1 based communications. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_degree()\fR 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 +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_field_type()\fR identifies what type of field the EC_GROUP structure supports, +which will be either F2^m or Fp. +.PP +The function \fBEC_GROUP_check_discriminant()\fR 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 \fBEC_GROUP_check()\fR behaves in the following way: +For the OpenSSL default provider it 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. For the OpenSSL FIPS provider it uses \fBEC_GROUP_check_named_curve()\fR to conform to SP800\-56Ar3. +.PP +The function \fBEC_GROUP_check_named_curve()\fR determines if the group's domain parameters match one of the built-in curves supported by the library. +The curve name is returned as a \fBNID\fR if it matches. If the group's domain parameters have been modified then no match will be found. +If the curve name of the given group is \fBNID_undef\fR (e.g. it has been created by using explicit parameters with no curve name), +then this method can be used to lookup the name of the curve that matches the group domain parameters. The built-in curves contain +aliases, so that multiple NID's can map to the same domain parameters. For such curves it is unspecified which of the aliases will be +returned if the curve name of the given group is NID_undef. +If \fBnist_only\fR is 1 it will only look for NIST approved curves, otherwise it searches all built-in curves. +This function may be passed a BN_CTX object in the \fBctx\fR parameter. +The \fBctx\fR parameter may be NULL. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_cmp()\fR compares \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR to determine whether they represent the same curve or not. +.PP +The functions \fBEC_GROUP_get_basis_type()\fR, \fBEC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis()\fR 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 \fBEC_GROUP_get_basis_type()\fR returns a NID identifying whether a trinomial or pentanomial is in use for the field. The +function \fBEC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis()\fR must only be called where f(x) is of the trinomial form, and returns the value of \fBk\fR. Similarly +the function \fBEC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis()\fR 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: \fBEC_GROUP_copy()\fR, \fBEC_GROUP_set_generator()\fR, \fBEC_GROUP_check()\fR, +\&\fBEC_GROUP_check_discriminant()\fR, \fBEC_GROUP_get_trinomial_basis()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_get_pentanomial_basis()\fR. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_dup()\fR returns a pointer to the duplicated curve, or NULL on error. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_method_of()\fR returns the EC_METHOD implementation in use for the given curve or NULL on error. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get0_generator()\fR returns the generator for the given curve or NULL on error. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_order()\fR returns 0 if the order is not set (or set to zero) for +\&\fBgroup\fR or if copying into \fBorder\fR fails, 1 otherwise. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_cofactor()\fR returns 0 if the cofactor is not set (or is set to zero) for \fBgroup\fR or if copying into \fBcofactor\fR fails, 1 otherwise. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_curve_name()\fR returns the curve name (NID) for \fBgroup\fR or will return NID_undef if no curve name is associated. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()\fR returns the ASN1 flag for the specified \fBgroup\fR . +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()\fR returns the point_conversion_form for \fBgroup\fR. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_degree()\fR returns the degree for \fBgroup\fR or 0 if the operation is not supported by the underlying group implementation. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_field_type()\fR returns either \fBNID_X9_62_prime_field\fR for prime curves +or \fBNID_X9_62_characteristic_two_field\fR for binary curves; +these values are defined in the \fI<openssl/obj_mac.h>\fR header file. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_check_named_curve()\fR returns the nid of the matching named curve, otherwise it returns 0 for no match, or \-1 on error. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get0_order()\fR returns an internal pointer to the group order. +\&\fBEC_GROUP_order_bits()\fR returns the number of bits in the group order. +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get0_cofactor()\fR returns an internal pointer to the group cofactor. +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get0_field()\fR returns an internal pointer to the group field. For curves over GF(p), this is the modulus; for curves +over GF(2^m), this is the irreducible polynomial defining the field. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get0_seed()\fR returns a pointer to the seed that was used to generate the parameter b, or NULL if the seed is not +specified. \fBEC_GROUP_get_seed_len()\fR returns the length of the seed or 0 if the seed is not specified. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_set_seed()\fR returns the length of the seed that has been set. If the supplied seed is NULL, or the supplied seed length is +0, the return value will be 1. On error 0 is returned. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_cmp()\fR returns 0 if the curves are equal, 1 if they are not equal, or \-1 on error. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_basis_type()\fR returns the values NID_X9_62_tpBasis or NID_X9_62_ppBasis (as defined in \fI<openssl/obj_mac.h>\fR) for a +trinomial or pentanomial respectively.
