=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY-EC,
|
|
EVP_KEYMGMT-EC
|
|
- EVP_PKEY EC keytype and algorithm support
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<EC> keytype is implemented in OpenSSL's default provider.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Common EC parameters
|
|
|
|
The normal way of specifying domain parameters for an EC curve is via the
|
|
curve name "group". For curves with no curve name, explicit parameters can be
|
|
used that specify "field-type", "p", "a", "b", "generator" and "order".
|
|
Explicit parameters are supported for backwards compability reasons, but they
|
|
are not compliant with multiple standards (including RFC5915) which only allow
|
|
named curves.
|
|
|
|
The following KeyGen/Gettable/Import/Export types are available for the
|
|
built-in EC algorithm:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item "group" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME>) <UTF8 string>
|
|
|
|
The curve name.
|
|
|
|
=item "field-type" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_FIELD_TYPE>) <UTF8 string>
|
|
|
|
The value should be either "prime-field" or "characteristic-two-field",
|
|
which correspond to prime field Fp and binary field F2^m.
|
|
|
|
=item "p" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_P>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
For a curve over Fp I<p> is the prime for the field. For a curve over F2^m I<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
=item "a" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_A>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "b" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_B>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "seed" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_SEED>) <octet string>
|
|
|
|
I<a> and I<b> represents the coefficients of the curve
|
|
For Fp: y^2 mod p = x^3 +ax + b mod p OR
|
|
For F2^m: y^2 + xy = x^3 + ax^2 + b
|
|
|
|
I<seed> is an optional value that is for information purposes only.
|
|
It represents the random number seed used to generate the coefficient I<b> from a
|
|
random number.
|
|
|
|
=item "generator" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_GENERATOR>) <octet string>
|
|
|
|
=item "order" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_ORDER>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "cofactor" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_COFACTOR>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
The I<generator> is a well defined point on the curve chosen for cryptographic
|
|
operations. The encoding conforms with Sec. 2.3.3 of the SECG SEC 1 ("Elliptic Curve
|
|
Cryptography") standard. See EC_POINT_oct2point().
|
|
Integers used for point multiplications will be between 0 and
|
|
I<order> - 1.
|
|
I<cofactor> is an optional value.
|
|
I<order> multiplied by the I<cofactor> gives the number of points on the curve.
|
|
|
|
=item "decoded-from-explicit" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_DECODED_FROM_EXPLICIT_PARAMS>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
Gets a flag indicating wether the key or parameters were decoded from explicit
|
|
curve parameters. Set to 1 if so or 0 if a named curve was used.
|
|
|
|
=item "use-cofactor-flag" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
Enable Cofactor DH (ECC CDH) if this value is 1, otherwise it uses normal EC DH
|
|
if the value is zero. The cofactor variant multiplies the shared secret by the
|
|
EC curve's cofactor (note for some curves the cofactor is 1).
|
|
|
|
=item "encoding" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_ENCODING>) <UTF8 string>
|
|
|
|
Set the format used for serializing the EC group parameters.
|
|
Valid values are "explicit" or "named_curve". The default value is "named_curve".
|
|
|
|
=item "point-format" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_POINT_CONVERSION_FORMAT>) <UTF8 string>
|
|
|
|
Sets or gets the point_conversion_form for the I<key>. For a description of
|
|
point_conversion_forms please see L<EC_POINT_new(3)>. Valid values are
|
|
"uncompressed" or "compressed". The default value is "uncompressed".
|
|
|
|
=item "group-check" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_GROUP_CHECK_TYPE>) <UTF8 string>
|
|
|
|
Sets or Gets the type of group check done when EVP_PKEY_param_check() is called.
|
|
Valid values are "default", "named" and "named-nist".
|
|
The "named" type checks that the domain parameters match the inbuilt curve parameters,
|
|
"named-nist" is similiar but also checks that the named curve is a nist curve.
|
|
The "default" type does domain parameter validation for the OpenSSL default provider,
|
|
but is equivalent to "named-nist" for the OpenSSL fips provider.
|
|
|
|
=item "include-public" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_INCLUDE_PUBLIC>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
Setting this value to 0 indicates that the public key should not be included when
|
|
encoding the private key. The default value of 1 will include the public key.
|
|
|
|
See also L<EVP_KEYEXCH-ECDH(7)> for the related
|
|
B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_EC_ECDH_COFACTOR_MODE> parameter that can be set on a
|
|
per-operation basis.
|
|
|
|
=item "pub" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB_KEY>) <octet string>
|
|
|
|
The public key value in EC point format.
|
|
|
|
=item "priv" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
The private key value.
|
|
|
|
=item "encoded-pub-key" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_ENCODED_PUBLIC_KEY>) <octet string>
|
|
|
|
Used for getting and setting the encoding of an EC public key. The public key
|
|
is expected to be a point conforming to Sec. 2.3.4 of the SECG SEC 1 ("Elliptic
|
|
Curve Cryptography") standard.
|
|
|
|
=item "qx" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_PUB_X>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
Used for getting the EC public key X component.
|
|
|
|
=item "qy" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_PUB_Y>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
Used for getting the EC public key Y component.
|
|
|
|
=item (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DEFAULT_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>
|
|
|
|
Getter that returns the default digest name.
|
|
(Currently returns "SHA256" as of OpenSSL 3.0).
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
The following Gettable types are also available for the built-in EC algorithm:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item "basis-type" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_TYPE>) <UTF8 string>
|
|
|
|
Supports the values "tpBasis" for a trinomial or "ppBasis" for a pentanomial.
|
|
This field is only used for a binary field F2^m.
|
|
|
|
=item "m" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_M>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "tp" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_TP_BASIS>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "k1" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K1>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "k2" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K2>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "k3" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_CHAR2_PP_K3>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
These fields are only used for a binary field F2^m.
|
|
I<m> is the degree of the binary field.
|
|
|
|
I<tp> is the middle bit of a trinomial so its value must be in the
|
|
range m > tp > 0.
|
|
|
|
I<k1>, I<k2> and I<k3> are used to get the middle bits of a pentanomial such
|
|
that m > k3 > k2 > k1 > 0

=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
An B<EVP_PKEY> context can be obtained by calling:
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "EC", NULL);
|
|
|
|
An B<EVP_PKEY> ECDSA or ECDH key can be generated with a "P-256" named group by
|
|
calling:
|
|
|
|
pkey = EVP_EC_gen("P-256");
|
|
|
|
or like this:
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY *key = NULL;
|
|
OSSL_PARAM params[2];
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *gctx =
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "EC", NULL);
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(gctx);
|
|
|
|
params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME,
|
|
"P-256", 0);
|
|
params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(gctx, params);
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_generate(gctx, &key);
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_print_private(bio_out, key, 0, NULL);
|
|
...
|
|
EVP_PKEY_free(key);
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(gctx);
|
|
|
|
An B<EVP_PKEY> EC CDH (Cofactor Diffie-Hellman) key can be generated with a
|
|
"K-571" named group by calling:
|
|
|
|
int use_cdh = 1;
|
|
EVP_PKEY *key = NULL;
|
|
OSSL_PARAM params[3];
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *gctx =
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "EC", NULL);
|

|
|
|
|
params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME,
|
|
"K-571", 0);
|
|
/*
|
|
* This curve has a cofactor that is not 1 - so setting CDH mode changes
|
|
* the behaviour. For many curves the cofactor is 1 - so setting this has
|
|
* no effect.
|
|
*/
|
|
params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_int(OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH,
|
|
&use_cdh);
