DESCRIPTION

These functions decode and encode elliptic curve keys and parameters. For details about the semantics, examples, caveats, and bugs, see ASN1_item_d2i(3). d2i_ECPKParameters() and i2d_ECPKParameters() decode and encode the parameters of an elliptic curve. d2i_ECPKParameters_bio(), i2d_ECPKParameters_bio(), d2i_ECPKParameters_fp(), and i2d_ECPKParameters_fp() are similar except that they decode or encode using a BIO or FILE pointer. These four functions are currently imple- mented as macros. d2i_ECParameters() does the same parsing as d2i_ECPKParameters() but saves the result in the group field of an EC_KEY structure. i2d_ECParameters() produces the same output as i2d_ECPKParameters() but uses val_in->group for input instead of val_in. ECParameters_dup() allocates and initializes an empty EC_KEY object and copies the EC parameters from val_in to it by calling i2d_ECParameters() and d2i_ECParameters(). If a private or public key or any flags are present in val_in, they are not copied. d2i_ECPrivateKey() and i2d_ECPrivateKey() decode and encode an EC private key using an ASN.1 ECPrivateKey structure defined in RFC 5915 section 3 and used for the privateKey field of the ASN.1 PrivateKeyInfo structure defined in RFC 5208 section 5, see PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_new(3). d2i_ECPrivateKey_bio(), i2d_ECPrivateKey_bio(), d2i_ECPrivateKey_fp(), and i2d_ECPrivateKey_fp() are similar except that they decode or encode using a BIO or FILE pointer. o2i_ECPublicKey() and i2o_ECPublicKey() decode and encode an EC public key. In contrast to ASN1_item_d2i(3), o2i_ECPublicKey() requires val_out, *val_out, and (*val_out)->group to be non-NULL. ECPKParameters_print() and ECPKParameters_print_fp() print human-readable output of the public parameters of the EC_GROUP to out_bio or out_fp. The output lines are indented by indent spaces. ECParameters_print() and ECParameters_print_fp() print the parameter com- ponents of val_in to out_bio or out_fp. d2i_EC_PUBKEY() and i2d_EC_PUBKEY() decode and encode an EC public key using an ASN.1 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1 and documented in X509_PUBKEY_new(3). d2i_EC_PUBKEY_bio(), i2d_EC_PUBKEY_bio(), d2i_EC_PUBKEY_fp(), and i2d_EC_PUBKEY_fp() are simi- lar except that they decode or encode using a BIO or FILE pointer.

RETURN VALUES

d2i_ECPKParameters(), d2i_ECPKParameters_bio(), and d2i_ECPKParameters_fp() return a valid EC_GROUP structure or NULL if an error occurs. d2i_ECParameters(), ECParameters_dup(), d2i_ECPrivateKey(), d2i_ECPrivateKey_bio(), d2i_ECPrivateKey_fp(), o2i_ECPublicKey(), d2i_EC_PUBKEY(), d2i_EC_PUBKEY_bio(), and d2i_EC_PUBKEY_fp() return a valid EC_KEY structure or NULL if an error occurs. i2d_ECPKParameters(), i2d_ECParameters(), i2d_ECPrivateKey(), i2o_ECPublicKey(), and i2d_EC_PUBKEY() return the number of bytes suc- cessfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. i2d_ECPKParameters_bio(), i2d_ECPKParameters_fp(), i2d_ECPrivateKey_bio(), i2d_ECPrivateKey_fp(), ECPKParameters_print(), ECPKParameters_print_fp(), ECParameters_print(), ECParameters_print_fp(), i2d_EC_PUBKEY_bio(), and i2d_EC_PUBKEY_fp() return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurs.
