A new point is constructed by calling the function EC_POINT_new and providing the B<group> -object that the point relates to. - -EC_POINT_free frees the memory associated with the EC_POINT. - -EC_POINT_clear_free destroys any sensitive data held within the EC_POINT and then frees its memory. - -EC_POINT_copy copies the point B<src> into B<dst>. Both B<src> and B<dst> must use the same EC_METHOD. - -EC_POINT_dup creates a new EC_POINT object and copies the content from B<src> to the newly created -EC_POINT object. - -EC_POINT_method_of obtains the EC_METHOD associated with B<point>. - -A valid point on a curve is the special point at infinity. A point is set to be at infinity by calling EC_POINT_set_to_infinity. - -The affine co-ordinates for a point describe a point in terms of its x and y position. The functions -EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp and EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m set the B<x> and B<y> co-ordinates for the point -B<p> defined over the curve given in B<group>. - -As well as the affine co-ordinates, a point can alternatively be described in terms of its Jacobian -projective co-ordinates (for Fp curves only). Jacobian projective co-ordinates are expressed as three values x, y and z. Working in -this co-ordinate system provides more efficient point multiplication operations. -A mapping exists between Jacobian projective co-ordinates and affine co-ordinates. A Jacobian projective co-ordinate (x, y, z) can be written as an affine co-ordinate as (x/(z^2), y/(z^3)). Conversion to Jacobian projective to affine co-ordinates is simple. The co-ordinate (x, y) is -mapped to (x, y, 1). To set or get the projective co-ordinates use EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp and -EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp respectively. - -Points can also be described in terms of their compressed co-ordinates. For a point (x, y), for any given value for x such that the point is -on the curve there will only ever be two possible values for y. Therefore a point can be set using the EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp -and EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m functions where B<x> is the x co-ordinate and B<y_bit> is a value 0 or 1 to identify which of -the two possible values for y should be used. - -In addition EC_POINTs can be converted to and from various external -representations. Supported representations are octet strings, BIGNUMs and -hexadecimal. Octet strings are stored in a buffer along with an associated -buffer length. A point held in a BIGNUM is calculated by converting the point to -an octet string and then converting that octet string into a BIGNUM integer. -Points in hexadecimal format are stored in a NULL terminated character string -where each character is one of the printable values 0-9 or A-F (or a-f). - -The functions EC_POINT_point2oct, EC_POINT_oct2point, EC_POINT_point2bn, EC_POINT_bn2point, EC_POINT_point2hex and EC_POINT_hex2point convert -from and to EC_POINTs for the formats: octet string, BIGNUM and hexadecimal respectively. - -The function EC_POINT_point2oct must be supplied with a buffer long enough to store the octet string. The return value provides the number of -octets stored. Calling the function with a NULL buffer will not perform the conversion but will still return the required buffer length. - -The function EC_POINT_point2hex will allocate sufficient memory to store the hexadecimal string. It is the caller's responsibility to free -this memory with a subsequent call to OPENSSL_free(). - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -EC_POINT_new and EC_POINT_dup return the newly allocated EC_POINT or NULL on error. - -The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error: EC_POINT_copy, EC_POINT_set_to_infinity, EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp, -EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp, EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp, EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GFp, -EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp, EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m, EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m, -EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m and EC_POINT_oct2point. - -EC_POINT_method_of returns the EC_METHOD associated with the supplied EC_POINT. - -EC_POINT_point2oct returns the length of the required buffer, or 0 on error. - -EC_POINT_point2bn returns the pointer to the BIGNUM supplied, or NULL on error. - -EC_POINT_bn2point returns the pointer to the EC_POINT supplied, or NULL on error. - -EC_POINT_point2hex returns a pointer to the hex string, or NULL on error. - -EC_POINT_hex2point returns the pointer to the EC_POINT supplied, or NULL on error. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<crypto(3)|crypto(3)>, L<ec(3)|ec(3)>, L<EC_GROUP_new(3)|EC_GROUP_new(3)>, L<EC_GROUP_copy(3)|EC_GROUP_copy(3)>, -L<EC_POINT_add(3)|EC_POINT_add(3)>, L<EC_KEY_new(3)|EC_KEY_new(3)>, -L<EC_GFp_simple_method(3)|EC_GFp_simple_method(3)>, L<d2i_ECPKParameters(3)|d2i_ECPKParameters(3)> - -=cut |
