176 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
177 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
178 An \s-1EC_KEY\s0 represents a public key and (optionaly) an associated private key. A new \s-1EC_KEY \s0(with no associated curve) can be constructed by calling EC_KEY_new.
179 The reference count for the newly created \s-1EC_KEY\s0 is initially set to 1. A curve can be associated with the \s-1EC_KEY\s0 by calling
180 EC_KEY_set_group.
181 .PP
182 Alternatively a new \s-1EC_KEY\s0 can be constructed by calling EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name and supplying the nid of the associated curve. Refer to \fIEC_GROUP_new\fR\|(3) for a description of curve names. This function simply wraps calls to EC_KEY_new and
183 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name.
184 .PP
185 Calling EC_KEY_free decrements the reference count for the \s-1EC_KEY\s0 object, and if it has dropped to zero then frees the memory associated
186 with it.
187 .PP
188 EC_KEY_copy copies the contents of the \s-1EC_KEY\s0 in \fBsrc\fR into \fBdest\fR.
189 .PP
190 EC_KEY_dup creates a new \s-1EC_KEY\s0 object and copies \fBec_key\fR into it.
191 .PP
192 EC_KEY_up_ref increments the reference count associated with the \s-1EC_KEY\s0 object.
193 .PP
194 EC_KEY_generate_key generates a new public and private key for the supplied \fBeckey\fR object. \fBeckey\fR must have an \s-1EC_GROUP\s0 object
195 associated with it before calling this function. The private key is a random integer (0 < priv_key < order, where order is the order
196 of the \s-1EC_GROUP\s0 object). The public key is an \s-1EC_POINT\s0 on the curve calculated by multiplying the generator for the curve by the
197 private key.
198 .PP
199 EC_KEY_check_key performs various sanity checks on the \s-1EC_KEY\s0 object to confirm that it is valid.
200 .PP
201 EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates sets the public key for \fBkey\fR based on its affine co-ordinates, i.e. it constructs an \s-1EC_POINT\s0
202 object based on the supplied \fBx\fR and \fBy\fR values and sets the public key to be this \s-1EC_POINT.\s0 It will also performs certain sanity checks
203 on the key to confirm that it is valid.
204 .PP
205 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 \s-1EC_GROUP\s0 object, the private key and the \s-1EC_POINT\s0 public key for the \fBkey\fR respectively.
206 .PP
207 The functions EC_KEY_get_conv_form and EC_KEY_set_conv_form get and set the point_conversion_form for the \fBkey\fR. For a description
208 of point_conversion_forms please refer to \fIEC_POINT_new\fR\|(3).
209 .PP
210 EC_KEY_insert_key_method_data and EC_KEY_get_key_method_data enable the caller to associate arbitrary additional data specific to the
211 elliptic curve scheme being used with the \s-1EC_KEY\s0 object. This data is treated as a \*(L"black box\*(R" by the ec library. The data to be stored by EC_KEY_insert_key_method_data is provided in the \fBdata\fR parameter, which must have associated functions for duplicating, freeing and \*(L"clear_freeing\*(R" the data item. If a subsequent EC_KEY_get_key_method_data call is issued, the functions for duplicating, freeing and \*(L"clear_freeing\*(R" the data item must be provided again, and they must be the same as they were when the data item was inserted.
212 .PP
213 EC_KEY_set_flags sets the flags in the \fBflags\fR parameter on the \s-1EC_KEY\s0 object. Any flags that are already set are left set. The currently defined standard flags are \s-1EC_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW\s0 and \s-1EC_FLAG_FIPS_CHECKED.\s0 In addition there is the flag \s-1EC_FLAG_COFACTOR_ECDH\s0 which is specific to \s-1ECDH\s0 and is defined in ecdh.h. EC_KEY_get_flags returns the current flags that are set for this \s-1EC_KEY.\s0 EC_KEY_clear_flags clears the flags indicated by the \fBflags\fR parameter. All other flags are left in their existing state.
214 .PP
215 EC_KEY_set_asn1_flag sets the asn1_flag on the underlying \s-1EC_GROUP\s0 object (if set). Refer to \fIEC_GROUP_copy\fR\|(3) for further information on the asn1_flag.
216 .PP
217 EC_KEY_precompute_mult stores multiples of the underlying \s-1EC_GROUP\s0 generator for faster point multiplication. See also \fIEC_POINT_add\fR\|(3).
218 .SH "RETURN VALUES"
219 .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
