Parameters
- pa_pubx
- Array of pointers to the vectors of computed public key x-coordinates.
- pa_puby
- Array of pointers to the vectors of computed public key y-coordinates.
- pa_pubz
- Array of pointers to the vectors of computed public key z-coordinates.
- pa_skey
- Array of pointers to the vectors of private keys.
- pBuffer
- Pointer to the work buffer.
Description
Each function targets at the elliptic curve (EC) specified in the
name (
nistp256, nistp384
or nistp521
). The function computes public keys using private keys specified by the pa_skey
parameter. If z-coordinate of computed public is required (pa_pubz
is not NULL
), then computed public keys are stored using projective coordinates. If pa_pubz
is NULL
, then computed public keys are stored using affine coordinates. The work buffer specified by the
pBuffer
parameter
is not currently used and can be NULL
. All the functions above have own "twins" with "_ssl" in the name. The "twin" associated with the EC acts the same. The single difference in comparison with
mbx_nistp256/384/521_ecpublic_key()
is representation of the parameters. mbx_nistp256/384/521_ecpublic_key_ssl()
functions use BIGNUM datatype instead of vector.Return Values
The
mbx_nistp256/384/521_ecpublic_key
functions return the status that indicates whether the operation completed successfully or not. The status value of 0 indicates that all operations completed successfully. The error condition can be analyzed by the MBX_GET_STS()
call.
