The elements of Fp are +the integers 0 to p\-1, where p is a prime number. This gives us a revised +elliptic curve equation as follows: +.PP +y^2 mod p = x^3 +ax + b mod p +.PP +The second form is those defined over a binary field F2^m where the elements of +the field are integers of length at most m bits. For this form the elliptic +curve equation is modified to: +.PP +y^2 + xy = x^3 + ax^2 + b (where b != 0) +.PP +Operations in a binary field are performed relative to an +\&\fBirreducible polynomial\fR. All such curves with OpenSSL use a trinomial or a +pentanomial for this parameter. +.PP +Although deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used, +a new curve can be constructed by calling \fBEC_GROUP_new()\fR, using the +implementation provided by \fImeth\fR (see \fBEC_GFp_simple_method\fR\|(3)) and +associated with the library context \fIctx\fR (see \fBOSSL_LIB_CTX\fR\|(3)). +The \fIctx\fR parameter may be NULL in which case the default library context is +used. +It is then necessary to call \fBEC_GROUP_set_curve()\fR to set the curve parameters. +Applications should instead use one of the other EC_GROUP_new_* constructors. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_new_from_params()\fR creates a group with parameters specified by \fIparams\fR. +The library context \fIlibctx\fR (see \fBOSSL_LIB_CTX\fR\|(3)) and property query string +\&\fIpropq\fR are used to fetch algorithms from providers. +\&\fIparams\fR may be either a list of explicit params or a named group, +The values for \fIctx\fR and \fIpropq\fR may be NULL. +The \fIparams\fR that can be used are described in +\&\fBEVP_PKEY\-EC\fR(7). +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()\fR will create a group from the +specified \fIparams\fR and +\&\fBEC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()\fR will create a group from the specific PK +\&\fIparams\fR. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_set_curve()\fR sets the curve parameters \fIp\fR, \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR. For a curve +over Fp \fIp\fR is the prime for the field. For a curve over F2^m \fIp\fR represents +the irreducible polynomial \- each bit represents a term in the polynomial. +Therefore, there will either be three or five bits set dependent on whether the +polynomial is a trinomial or a pentanomial. +In either case, \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR represents the coefficients a and b from the +relevant equation introduced above. +.PP +\&\fBEC_group_get_curve()\fR obtains the previously set curve parameters. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_set_curve_GFp()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m()\fR are synonyms for +\&\fBEC_GROUP_set_curve()\fR. They are defined for backwards compatibility only and +should not be used. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_curve_GFp()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m()\fR are synonyms for +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_curve()\fR. They are defined for backwards compatibility only and +should not be used. +.PP +The functions \fBEC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m()\fR are +shortcuts for calling \fBEC_GROUP_new()\fR and then the \fBEC_GROUP_set_curve()\fR function. +An appropriate default implementation method will be used. +.PP +Whilst the library can be used to create any curve using the functions described +above, there are also a number of predefined curves that are available. In order +to obtain a list of all of the predefined curves, call the function +\&\fBEC_get_builtin_curves()\fR. The parameter \fIr\fR should be an array of +EC_builtin_curve structures of size \fInitems\fR. The function will populate the +\&\fIr\fR array with information about the built-in curves. If \fInitems\fR is less than +the total number of curves available, then the first \fInitems\fR curves will be +returned. Otherwise the total number of curves will be provided. The return +value is the total number of curves available (whether that number has been +populated in \fIr\fR or not). Passing a NULL \fIr\fR, or setting \fInitems\fR to 0 will +do nothing other than return the total number of curves available. +The EC_builtin_curve structure is defined as follows: +.PP +.Vb 4 +\& typedef struct { +\& int nid; +\& const char *comment; +\& } EC_builtin_curve; +.Ve +.PP +Each EC_builtin_curve item has a unique integer id (\fInid\fR), and a human +readable comment string describing the curve. +.PP +In order to construct a built-in curve use the function +\&\fBEC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name_ex()\fR and provide the \fInid\fR of the curve to +be constructed, the associated library context to be used in \fIctx\fR (see +\&\fBOSSL_LIB_CTX\fR\|(3)) and any property query string in \fIpropq\fR. The \fIctx\fR value +may be NULL in which case the default library context is used. The \fIpropq\fR +value may also be NULL. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name()\fR is the same as +\&\fBEC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name_ex()\fR except that the default library context +is always used along with a NULL property query string. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_free()\fR frees the memory associated with the EC_GROUP. +If \fIgroup\fR is NULL nothing is done. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_clear_free()\fR is deprecated: it was meant to destroy any sensitive data +held within the EC_GROUP and then free its memory, but since all the data stored +in the EC_GROUP is public anyway, this function is unnecessary. +Its use can be safely replaced with \fBEC_GROUP_free()\fR. +If \fIgroup\fR is NULL nothing is done. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_EC_curve_nid2name()\fR converts a curve \fInid\fR into the corresponding name. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +All EC_GROUP_new* functions return a pointer to the newly constructed group, or +NULL on error. +.PP +\&\fBEC_get_builtin_curves()\fR returns the number of built-in curves that are +available. +.PP +\&\fBEC_GROUP_set_curve_GFp()\fR, \fBEC_GROUP_get_curve_GFp()\fR, \fBEC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m()\fR, +\&\fBEC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m()\fR return 1 on success or 0 on error. +.PP +\&\fBOSSL_EC_curve_nid2name()\fR returns a character string constant, or NULL on error. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fBcrypto\fR\|(7), \fBEC_GROUP_copy\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEC_POINT_new\fR\|(3), \fBEC_POINT_add\fR\|(3), \fBEC_KEY_new\fR\|(3), +\&\fBEC_GFp_simple_method\fR\|(3), \fBd2i_ECPKParameters\fR\|(3), +\&\fBOSSL_LIB_CTX\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY\-EC\fR\|(7) +.SH HISTORY +.IX Header "HISTORY" +.IP \(bu 2 +\&\fBEC_GROUP_new()\fR was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. +.Sp +\&\fBEC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name_ex()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_new_from_params()\fR were +added in OpenSSL 3.0. +.IP \(bu 2 +\&\fBEC_GROUP_clear_free()\fR was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0; use \fBEC_GROUP_free()\fR +instead. +.IP \(bu 2 + +.Sp +.Vb 3 +\& EC_GROUP_set_curve_GFp(), EC_GROUP_get_curve_GFp(), +\& EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m() and EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m() were deprecated in +\& OpenSSL 3.0; use EC_GROUP_set_curve() and EC_GROUP_get_curve() instead. +.Ve +.SH COPYRIGHT +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2013\-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
