<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>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().</p>
<p>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().</p>
<p>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 <b>key</b> is NULL nothing is done.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_copy() copies the contents of the EC_KEY in <b>src</b> into <b>dest</b>.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_dup() creates a new EC_KEY object and copies <b>ec_key</b> into it.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_up_ref() increments the reference count associated with the EC_KEY object.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for this EC_KEY object.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_generate_key() generates a new public and private key for the supplied <b>eckey</b> object. <b>eckey</b> must have an EC_GROUP object associated with it before calling this function. The private key is a random integer (0 < priv_key < order, where <i>order</i> 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.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_check_key() performs various sanity checks on the EC_KEY object to confirm that it is valid.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates() sets the public key for <b>key</b> based on its affine co-ordinates; i.e., it constructs an EC_POINT object based on the supplied <b>x</b> and <b>y</b> 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.</p>
<p>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 <b>key</b> 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.</p>
<p>The functions EC_KEY_get_conv_form() and EC_KEY_set_conv_form() get and set the point_conversion_form for the <b>key</b>. For a description of point_conversion_forms please see <a href="../man3/EC_POINT_new.html">EC_POINT_new(3)</a>.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_set_flags() sets the flags in the <b>flags</b> 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 <b>flags</b> parameter; all other flags are left in their existing state.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_decoded_from_explicit_params() returns 1 if the group of the <i>key</i> was decoded from data with explicitly encoded group parameters, -1 if the <i>key</i> is NULL or the group parameters are missing, and 0 otherwise.</p>
<p>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>.</p>
<p>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 <b>eckey</b>.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_oct2priv() and EC_KEY_priv2oct() convert between the private key component of <b>eckey</b> and octet form. The octet form consists of the content octets of the <b>privateKey</b> OCTET STRING in an <b>ECPrivateKey</b> ASN.1 structure.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <b>*pbuf</b> 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 <b>*pbuf</b> the <b>pbuf</b> parameter <b>MUST NOT</b> be <b>NULL</b>.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_priv2buf() converts an EC_KEY private key into an allocated buffer.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_get_flags() returns the flags associated with the EC_KEY object as an integer.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_copy() returns a pointer to the destination key, or NULL on error.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_get0_engine() returns a pointer to an ENGINE, or NULL if it wasn't set.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_get0_group() returns the EC_GROUP associated with the EC_KEY.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_get0_private_key() returns the private key associated with the EC_KEY.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_get_conv_form() return the point_conversion_form for the EC_KEY.</p>
<p>EC_KEY_key2buf(), EC_KEY_priv2oct() and EC_KEY_priv2buf() return the length of the buffer or 0 on error.</p>
