<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

An EC_KEY represents a public key and, optionally, the associated private key. A new EC_KEY with no associated curve can be constructed by calling EC_KEY_new(). The reference count for the newly created EC_KEY is initially set to 1. A curve can be associated with the EC_KEY by calling EC_KEY_set_group().

Alternatively a new EC_KEY can be constructed by calling EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name() and supplying the nid of the associated curve. See <a href="../man3/EC_GROUP_new.html">EC_GROUP_new(3)</a> for a description of curve names. This function simply wraps calls to EC_KEY_new() and EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name().

Calling EC_KEY_free() decrements the reference count for the EC_KEY object, and if it has dropped to zero then frees the memory associated with it. If key is NULL nothing is done.

EC_KEY_copy() copies the contents of the EC_KEY in src into dest.

EC_KEY_dup() creates a new EC_KEY object and copies ec_key into it.

EC_KEY_up_ref() increments the reference count associated with the EC_KEY object.

EC_KEY_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for this EC_KEY object.

EC_KEY_generate_key() generates a new public and private key for the supplied eckey object. eckey must have an EC_GROUP object associated with it before calling this function. The private key is a random integer (0 &lt; priv_key &lt; order, where order is the order of the EC_GROUP object). The public key is an EC_POINT on the curve calculated by multiplying the generator for the curve by the private key.

EC_KEY_check_key() performs various sanity checks on the EC_KEY object to confirm that it is valid.

EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates() sets the public key for key based on its affine co-ordinates; i.e., it constructs an EC_POINT object based on the supplied x and y values and sets the public key to be this EC_POINT. It also performs certain sanity checks on the key to confirm that it is valid.

The functions EC_KEY_get0_group(), EC_KEY_set_group(), EC_KEY_get0_private_key(), EC_KEY_set_private_key(), EC_KEY_get0_public_key(), and EC_KEY_set_public_key() get and set the EC_GROUP object, the private key, and the EC_POINT public key for the key respectively. The function EC_KEY_set_private_key() accepts NULL as the priv_key argument to securely clear the private key component from the EC_KEY.

The functions EC_KEY_get_conv_form() and EC_KEY_set_conv_form() get and set the point_conversion_form for the key. For a description of point_conversion_forms please see <a href="../man3/EC_POINT_new.html">EC_POINT_new(3)</a>.

EC_KEY_set_flags() sets the flags in the flags parameter on the EC_KEY object. Any flags that are already set are left set. The flags currently defined are EC_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW and EC_FLAG_FIPS_CHECKED. In addition there is the flag EC_FLAG_COFACTOR_ECDH which is specific to ECDH. EC_KEY_get_flags() returns the current flags that are set for this EC_KEY. EC_KEY_clear_flags() clears the flags indicated by the flags parameter; all other flags are left in their existing state.

EC_KEY_set_asn1_flag() sets the asn1_flag on the underlying EC_GROUP object (if set). Refer to <a href="../man3/EC_GROUP_copy.html">EC_GROUP_copy(3)</a> for further information on the asn1_flag.

EC_KEY_decoded_from_explicit_params() returns 1 if the group of the key was decoded from data with explicitly encoded group parameters, -1 if the key is NULL or the group parameters are missing, and 0 otherwise.

EC_KEY_precompute_mult() stores multiples of the underlying EC_GROUP generator for faster point multiplication. See also <a href="../man3/EC_POINT_add.html">EC_POINT_add(3)</a>.

EC_KEY_oct2key() and EC_KEY_key2buf() are identical to the functions EC_POINT_oct2point() and EC_POINT_point2buf() except they use the public key EC_POINT in eckey.

EC_KEY_oct2priv() and EC_KEY_priv2oct() convert between the private key component of eckey and octet form. The octet form consists of the content octets of the privateKey OCTET STRING in an ECPrivateKey ASN.1 structure.

The function EC_KEY_priv2oct() 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 just return the required buffer length.

The function EC_KEY_priv2buf() allocates a buffer of suitable length and writes an EC_KEY to it in octet format. The allocated buffer is written to *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 *pbuf the pbuf parameter MUST NOT be NULL.

EC_KEY_priv2buf() converts an EC_KEY private key into an allocated buffer.

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

EC_KEY_new(), EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name() and EC_KEY_dup() return a pointer to the newly created EC_KEY object, or NULL on error.

EC_KEY_get_flags() returns the flags associated with the EC_KEY object as an integer.

EC_KEY_copy() returns a pointer to the destination key, or NULL on error.

EC_KEY_get0_engine() returns a pointer to an ENGINE, or NULL if it wasn&#39;t set.

EC_KEY_up_ref(), EC_KEY_set_group(), EC_KEY_set_public_key(), EC_KEY_precompute_mult(), EC_KEY_generate_key(), EC_KEY_check_key(), EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates(), EC_KEY_oct2key() and EC_KEY_oct2priv() return 1 on success or 0 on error.

EC_KEY_set_private_key() returns 1 on success or 0 on error except when the priv_key argument is NULL, in that case it returns 0, for legacy compatibility, and should not be treated as an error.

EC_KEY_get0_group() returns the EC_GROUP associated with the EC_KEY.

EC_KEY_get0_private_key() returns the private key associated with the EC_KEY.

EC_KEY_get_conv_form() return the point_conversion_form for the EC_KEY.

EC_KEY_key2buf(), EC_KEY_priv2oct() and EC_KEY_priv2buf() return the length of the buffer or 0 on error.
