, IppsGFpElement*
pY
, IppsGFpECState*

Include Files
ippcp.h
Parameters
pPoint
Pointer to the
IppsGFpECPoint
 context.
pX
,
pY
Pointers to the
X
 and
Y
 coordinates of a point on the elliptic curve.
pEC
Pointer to the context of the elliptic curve.
Description
This function exports the coordinates of an elliptic curve point from the
IppsGFPECPoint
 context to the user-defined elements of the underlying field. To turn off the extraction of a particular coordinate, set the appropriate function parameter to
NULL
.
Return Values
ippStsNoErr
Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.
ippStsNullPtrErr
Indicates an error condition if
pPoint
 or
pEC
 is
NULL
.
ippStsContextMatchErr
Indicates an error condition if any of the specified contexts does not match the operation.
ippStsOutOfRangeErr
Indicates an error condition in the following cases:
  • The coordinates of the point
    pPoint
     do not belong to the underlying finite field of the elliptic curve.
  • pX
     or
    pY
     does not belong to the underlying finite field of the elliptic curve.
