Typedef Documentation

◆ mbedtls_ecp_curve_info

typedef struct mbedtls_ecp_curve_info mbedtls_ecp_curve_info

Curve information, for use by other modules.

◆ mbedtls_ecp_point

typedef struct mbedtls_ecp_point mbedtls_ecp_point

The ECP point structure, in Jacobian coordinates.

Note: All functions expect and return points satisfying the following condition: Z == 0 or Z == 1. Other values of Z are used only by internal functions. The point is zero, or "at infinity", if Z == 0. Otherwise, X and Y are its standard (affine) coordinates.

◆ mbedtls_ecp_group

typedef struct mbedtls_ecp_group mbedtls_ecp_group

The ECP group structure.

We consider two types of curve equations:

Short Weierstrass: y^2 = x^3 + A x + B mod P (SEC1 + RFC-4492)
Montgomery: y^2 = x^3 + A x^2 + x mod P (Curve25519, Curve448)

In both cases, the generator (G) for a prime-order subgroup is fixed.

For Short Weierstrass, this subgroup is the whole curve, and its cardinality is denoted by N. Our code requires that N is an odd prime as mbedtls_ecp_mul() requires an odd number, and mbedtls_ecdsa_sign() requires that it is prime for blinding purposes.

For Montgomery curves, we do not store A, but (A + 2) / 4, which is the quantity used in the formulas. Additionally, nbits is not the size of N but the required size for private keys.

If modp is NULL, reduction modulo P is done using a generic algorithm. Otherwise, modp must point to a function that takes an mbedtls_mpi in the range of 0..2^(2*pbits)-1, and transforms it in-place to an integer which is congruent mod P to the given MPI, and is close enough to pbits in size, so that it may be efficiently brought in the 0..P-1 range by a few additions or subtractions. Therefore, it is only an approximative modular reduction. It must return 0 on success and non-zero on failure.

Note: Alternative implementations must keep the group IDs distinct. If two group structures have the same ID, then they must be identical.

◆ mbedtls_ecp_keypair

typedef struct mbedtls_ecp_keypair mbedtls_ecp_keypair

The ECP key-pair structure.

A generic key-pair that may be used for ECDSA and fixed ECDH, for example.

Note: Members are deliberately in the same order as in the mbedtls_ecdsa_context structure.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ mbedtls_ecp_group_id

enum mbedtls_ecp_group_id

Domain-parameter identifiers: curve, subgroup, and generator.

Note: Only curves over prime fields are supported.

Warning: This library does not support validation of arbitrary domain parameters. Therefore, only standardized domain parameters from trusted sources should be used. See mbedtls_ecp_group_load().

◆ mbedtls_ecp_mul()

		const mbedtls_mpi *	m,
		const mbedtls_ecp_point *	P,
		int()(void , unsigned char *, size_t)	f_rng,
		void *	p_rng
	)

This function performs a scalar multiplication of a point by an integer: R = m * P.

It is not thread-safe to use same group in multiple threads.

Note: To prevent timing attacks, this function executes the exact same sequence of base-field operations for any valid m. It avoids any if-branch or array index depending on the value of m.; If f_rng is not NULL, it is used to randomize intermediate results to prevent potential timing attacks targeting these results. We recommend always providing a non-NULL f_rng. The overhead is negligible. Note: unless MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG is defined, when f_rng is NULL, an internal RNG (seeded from the value of m) will be used instead.

Parameters

grp	The ECP group to use. This must be initialized and have group parameters set, for example through mbedtls_ecp_group_load().
R	The point in which to store the result of the calculation. This must be initialized.
m	The integer by which to multiply. This must be initialized.
P	The point to multiply. This must be initialized.
f_rng	The RNG function. This may be `NULL` if randomization of intermediate results isn't desired (discouraged).
p_rng	The RNG context to be passed to `p_rng`.

Returns: 0 on success.; MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_INVALID_KEY if m is not a valid private key, or P is not a valid public key.; MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_ALLOC_FAILED on memory-allocation failure.; Another negative error code on other kinds of failure.

◆ mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable()

int mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable	(	mbedtls_ecp_group *	grp,
		mbedtls_ecp_point *	R,
		const mbedtls_mpi *	m,
		const mbedtls_ecp_point *	P,
		int()(void , unsigned char *, size_t)	f_rng,
		void *	p_rng,
		mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx *	rs_ctx
	)

This function performs multiplication of a point by an integer: R = m * P in a restartable way.

See also: mbedtls_ecp_mul()

Note: This function does the same as mbedtls_ecp_mul(), but it can return early and restart according to the limit set with mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() to reduce blocking.

Parameters

grp	The ECP group to use. This must be initialized and have group parameters set, for example through mbedtls_ecp_group_load().
R	The point in which to store the result of the calculation. This must be initialized.
m	The integer by which to multiply. This must be initialized.
P	The point to multiply. This must be initialized.
f_rng	The RNG function. This may be `NULL` if randomization of intermediate results isn't desired (discouraged).
p_rng	The RNG context to be passed to `p_rng`.
rs_ctx	The restart context (NULL disables restart).

Returns: 0 on success.; MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_INVALID_KEY if m is not a valid private key, or P is not a valid public key.; MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_ALLOC_FAILED on memory-allocation failure.; MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_IN_PROGRESS if maximum number of operations was reached: see mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops().; Another negative error code on other kinds of failure.

◆ mbedtls_ecp_check_pubkey()

int mbedtls_ecp_check_pubkey	(	const mbedtls_ecp_group *	grp,
		const mbedtls_ecp_point *	pt
	)

This function checks that a point is a valid public key on this curve.

It only checks that the point is non-zero, has valid coordinates and lies on the curve. It does not verify that it is indeed a multiple of G. This additional check is computationally more expensive, is not required by standards, and should not be necessary if the group used has a small cofactor. In particular, it is useless for the NIST groups which all have a cofactor of 1.

Note: This function uses bare components rather than an mbedtls_ecp_keypair structure, to ease use with other structures, such as mbedtls_ecdh_context or mbedtls_ecdsa_context.

Parameters

grp	The ECP group the point should belong to. This must be initialized and have group parameters set, for example through mbedtls_ecp_group_load().
pt	The point to check. This must be initialized.

Returns: 0 if the point is a valid public key.; MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_INVALID_KEY if the point is not a valid public key for the given curve.; Another negative error code on other kinds of failure.

Note: This function uses bare components rather than an mbedtls_ecp_keypair structure to ease use with other structures, such as mbedtls_ecdh_context or mbedtls_ecdsa_context.

Parameters

grp	The ECP group the private key should belong to. This must be initialized and have group parameters set, for example through mbedtls_ecp_group_load().
d	The integer to check. This must be initialized.

Returns: 0 if the point is a valid private key.; MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_INVALID_KEY if the point is not a valid private key for the given curve.; Another negative error code on other kinds of failure.

◆ mbedtls_ecp_gen_privkey()

int mbedtls_ecp_gen_privkey	(	const mbedtls_ecp_group *	grp,

		int()(void , unsigned char *, size_t)	f_rng,
		void *	p_rng
	)

		int()(void , unsigned char *, size_t)	f_rng,
		void *	p_rng
	)

This function generates a keypair with a configurable base point.

Note: This function uses bare components rather than an mbedtls_ecp_keypair structure to ease use with other structures, such as mbedtls_ecdh_context or mbedtls_ecdsa_context.

Parameters

grp	The ECP group to generate a key pair for. This must be initialized and have group parameters set, for example through mbedtls_ecp_group_load().
