+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBEC\fR keytype is implemented in OpenSSL's default provider.
+.SS "Common EC parameters"
+.IX Subsection "Common EC parameters"
+The normal way of specifying domain parameters for an EC curve is via the
+curve name "group". For curves with no curve name, explicit parameters can be
+used that specify "field-type", "p", "a", "b", "generator" and "order".
+Explicit parameters are supported for backwards compatibility reasons, but they
+are not compliant with multiple standards (including RFC5915) which only allow
+named curves.
+.PP
+The following KeyGen/Gettable/Import/Export types are available for the
+built-in EC algorithm:
+.IP """group"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
+.IX Item """group"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME) <UTF8 string>"
+The curve name.
+.IP """field-type"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_FIELD_TYPE\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
+.IX Item """field-type"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_FIELD_TYPE) <UTF8 string>"
+The value should be either "prime-field" or "characteristic-two-field",
+which correspond to prime field Fp and binary field F2^m.
+.IP """p"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_P\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
+.IX Item """p"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_P) <unsigned integer>"
+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.
+.IP """a"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_A\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
+.IX Item """a"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_A) <unsigned integer>"
+.PD 0
+.IP """b"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_B\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
+.IX Item """b"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_B) <unsigned integer>"
+.IP """seed"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_SEED\fR) <octet string>" 4
+.IX Item """seed"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_SEED) <octet string>"
+.PD
+\&\fIa\fR and \fIb\fR represents the coefficients of the curve
+For Fp: y^2 mod p = x^3 +ax + b mod p OR
+For F2^m: y^2 + xy = x^3 + ax^2 + b
+.Sp
+\&\fIseed\fR is an optional value that is for information purposes only.
+It represents the random number seed used to generate the coefficient \fIb\fR from a
+random number.
+.IP """generator"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_GENERATOR\fR) <octet string>" 4
+.IX Item """generator"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_GENERATOR) <octet string>"
+.PD 0
+.IP """order"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_ORDER\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
+.IX Item """order"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_ORDER) <unsigned integer>"
+.IP """cofactor"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_COFACTOR\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
+.IX Item """cofactor"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_COFACTOR) <unsigned integer>"
+.PD
+The \fIgenerator\fR is a well defined point on the curve chosen for cryptographic
+operations. The encoding conforms with Sec. 2.3.3 of the SECG SEC 1 ("Elliptic Curve
+Cryptography") standard. See \fBEC_POINT_oct2point()\fR.
+Integers used for point multiplications will be between 0 and
+\&\fIorder\fR \- 1.
+\&\fIcofactor\fR is an optional value.
+\&\fIorder\fR multiplied by the \fIcofactor\fR gives the number of points on the curve.
+.IP """decoded-from-explicit"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_DECODED_FROM_EXPLICIT_PARAMS\fR) <integer>" 4
+.IX Item """decoded-from-explicit"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_DECODED_FROM_EXPLICIT_PARAMS) <integer>"
+Gets a flag indicating whether the key or parameters were decoded from explicit
+curve parameters. Set to 1 if so or 0 if a named curve was used.
+.IP """use-cofactor-flag"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH\fR) <integer>" 4
+.IX Item """use-cofactor-flag"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH) <integer>"
+Enable Cofactor DH (ECC CDH) if this value is 1, otherwise it uses normal EC DH
+if the value is zero. The cofactor variant multiplies the shared secret by the
+EC curve's cofactor (note for some curves the cofactor is 1).
+.Sp
+See also \fBEVP_KEYEXCH\-ECDH\fR\|(7) for the related
+\&\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_EC_ECDH_COFACTOR_MODE\fR parameter that can be set on a
+per-operation basis.
+.IP """encoding"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_ENCODING\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
+.IX Item """encoding"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_ENCODING) <UTF8 string>"
+Set the format used for serializing the EC group parameters.
+Valid values are "explicit" or "named_curve". The default value is "named_curve".
+.IP """point-format"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_POINT_CONVERSION_FORMAT\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
+.IX Item """point-format"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_POINT_CONVERSION_FORMAT) <UTF8 string>"
+Sets or gets the point_conversion_form for the \fIkey\fR. For a description of
+point_conversion_forms please see \fBEC_POINT_new\fR\|(3). Valid values are
+"uncompressed" or "compressed". The default value is "uncompressed".
+.IP """group-check"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_GROUP_CHECK_TYPE\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
+.IX Item """group-check"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_GROUP_CHECK_TYPE) <UTF8 string>"
+Sets or Gets the type of group check done when \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check()\fR is called.
+Valid values are "default", "named" and "named-nist".
+The "named" type checks that the domain parameters match the inbuilt curve parameters,
+"named-nist" is similar but also checks that the named curve is a nist curve.
+The "default" type does domain parameter validation for the OpenSSL default provider,
+but is equivalent to "named-nist" for the OpenSSL FIPS provider.
+.IP """include-public"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_INCLUDE_PUBLIC\fR) <integer>" 4
+.IX Item """include-public"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_INCLUDE_PUBLIC) <integer>"
+Setting this value to 0 indicates that the public key should not be included when
+encoding the private key. The default value of 1 will include the public key.
+.IP """pub"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB_KEY\fR) <octet string>" 4
+.IX Item """pub"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB_KEY) <octet string>"
+The public key value in encoded EC point format conforming to Sec. 2.3.3 and
+2.3.4 of the SECG SEC 1 ("Elliptic Curve Cryptography") standard.
+This parameter is used when importing or exporting the public key value with the
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_todata()\fR functions.
+.Sp
+Note, in particular, that the choice of point compression format used for
+encoding the exported value via \fBEVP_PKEY_todata()\fR depends on the underlying
+provider implementation.
+Before OpenSSL 3.0.8, the implementation of providers included with OpenSSL always
+opted for an encoding in compressed format, unconditionally.
+Since OpenSSL 3.0.8, the implementation has been changed to honor the
+\&\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_POINT_CONVERSION_FORMAT\fR parameter, if set, or to default
+to uncompressed format.
+.IP """priv"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
+.IX Item """priv"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY) <unsigned integer>"
+The private key value.
+.IP """encoded-pub-key"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_ENCODED_PUBLIC_KEY\fR) <octet string>" 4
+.IX Item """encoded-pub-key"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_ENCODED_PUBLIC_KEY) <octet string>"
+Used for getting and setting the encoding of an EC public key. The public key
+is expected to be a point conforming to Sec. 2.3.4 of the SECG SEC 1 ("Elliptic
+Curve Cryptography") standard.
+.IP """qx"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_PUB_X\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
+.IX Item """qx"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_PUB_X) <unsigned integer>"
+Used for getting the EC public key X component.
+.IP """qy"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_PUB_Y\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
+.IX Item """qy"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_PUB_Y) <unsigned integer>"
+Used for getting the EC public key Y component.
+.IP """default-digest"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DEFAULT_DIGEST\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
+.IX Item """default-digest"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DEFAULT_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
+Getter that returns the default digest name.
+(Currently returns "SHA256" as of OpenSSL 3.0).
+.PP
+The following Gettable types are also available for the built-in EC algorithm:
+.IP """basis-type"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_TYPE\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
+.IX Item """basis-type"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_TYPE) <UTF8 string>"
+Supports the values "tpBasis" for a trinomial or "ppBasis" for a pentanomial.
+This field is only used for a binary field F2^m.
+.IP """m"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_M\fR) <integer>" 4
+.IX Item """m"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_M) <integer>"
+.PD 0
+.IP """tp"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_TP_BASIS\fR) <integer>" 4
+.IX Item """tp"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_TP_BASIS) <integer>"
+.IP """k1"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K1\fR) <integer>" 4
+.IX Item """k1"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K1) <integer>"
+.IP """k2"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K2\fR) <integer>" 4
+.IX Item """k2"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K2) <integer>"
+.IP """k3"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K3\fR) <integer>" 4
+.IX Item """k3"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K3) <integer>"
+.PD
+These fields are only used for a binary field F2^m.
+\&\fIm\fR is the degree of the binary field.
+.Sp
+\&\fItp\fR is the middle bit of a trinomial so its value must be in the
+range m > tp > 0.
+.Sp
+\&\fIk1\fR, \fIk2\fR and \fIk3\fR are used to get the middle bits of a pentanomial such
+that m > k3 > k2 > k1 > 0
+.SS "EC key validation"
+.IX Subsection "EC key validation"
+For EC keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check\fR\|(3) behaves in the following way:
+For the OpenSSL default provider it uses either
+\&\fBEC_GROUP_check\fR\|(3) or \fBEC_GROUP_check_named_curve\fR\|(3) depending on the flag
+EC_FLAG_CHECK_NAMED_GROUP.
+The OpenSSL FIPS provider uses \fBEC_GROUP_check_named_curve\fR\|(3) in order to
+conform to SP800\-56Ar3 \fIAssurances of Domain-Parameter Validity\fR.
+.PP
+For EC keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check_quick\fR\|(3) is equivalent to
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_param_check\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+For EC keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check_quick\fR\|(3)
+conform to SP800\-56Ar3 \fIECC Full Public-Key Validation\fR and
+\&\fIECC Partial Public-Key Validation\fR respectively.
+.PP
+For EC Keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_private_check\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_pairwise_check\fR\|(3)
+conform to SP800\-56Ar3 \fIPrivate key validity\fR and
+\&\fIOwner Assurance of Pair-wise Consistency\fR respectively.
