The first form is those defined over the prime field Fp. 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 A new curve can be constructed by calling \fBEC_GROUP_new()\fR, using the implementation provided by \fBmeth\fR (see \fBEC_GFp_simple_method\fR\|(3)). It is then necessary to call \fBEC_GROUP_set_curve()\fR to set the curve parameters. \&\fBEC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()\fR will create a group from the specified \&\fBparams\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()\fR will create a group from the specific \s-1PK\s0 \fBparams\fR. .PP \&\fBEC_GROUP_set_curve()\fR sets the curve parameters \fBp\fR, \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR. For a curve over Fp \fBp\fR is the prime for the field. For a curve over F2^m \fBp\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, \fBa\fR and \fBb\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 \fBr\fR should be an array of EC_builtin_curve structures of size \fBnitems\fR. The function will populate the \&\fBr\fR array with information about the builtin curves. If \fBnitems\fR is less than the total number of curves available, then the first \fBnitems\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 \fBr\fR or not). Passing a \s-1NULL\s0 \fBr\fR, or setting \fBnitems\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 (\fBnid\fR), and a human readable comment string describing the curve. .PP In order to construct a builtin curve use the function \&\fBEC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name()\fR and provide the \fBnid\fR of the curve to be constructed. .PP \&\fBEC_GROUP_free()\fR frees the memory associated with the \s-1EC_GROUP.\s0 If \fBgroup\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 nothing is done. .PP \&\fBEC_GROUP_clear_free()\fR destroys any sensitive data held within the \s-1EC_GROUP\s0 and then frees its memory. If \fBgroup\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 nothing is done. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" All EC_GROUP_new* functions return a pointer to the newly constructed group, or \&\s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP \&\fBEC_get_builtin_curves()\fR returns the number of builtin 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. .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) .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2013\-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
