ECCPSetKeyPair
Sets private and/or public keys of the elliptic cryptosystem over GF(p).
Syntax
IppStatus ippsECCPSetKeyPair(const IppsBigNumState* pPrivate, const IppsECCPPointState* pPublic, IppBool regular, IppsECCPState* pECC);
Include Files
ippcp.h
Parameters
pPrivate |
Pointer to the private key privKey. |
pPublic |
Pointer to the public key pubKey. |
regular |
Key status flag. |
pECC |
Pointer to the context of the elliptic cryptosystem. |
Description
The function sets a private key privKey and/or public key pubKey in the elliptic cryptosystem defined over a prime finite field GF(p).
The private key privKey is a number that lies in the range of [1, n-1] where n is the order of the elliptic curve base point. The public key pubKey is an elliptic curve point such that pubKey = privKey· G, where G is the base point of the elliptic curve.
The two possible values of the parameter regular define the key timeliness status:
ippTrue |
Keys are regular. |
ippFalse |
Keys are ephemeral. |
The elliptic curve domain parameters must be hitherto defined by one of the functions: ECCPSet or ECCPSetStd.
Return Values
ippStsNoErr |
Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning. |
ippStsNullPtrErr |
Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL. |
ippStsContextMatchErr |
Indicates an error condition if one of the contexts pointed by pPrivate, pPublic, or pECC is not valid. |
