Functions based on SM2

Short Description
This section describes functions based on the SM2 encryption standard for elliptic curves. For more information on the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme, see [IEEE P1363A]. The standard operations of
GFpEC
 functions are listed below:
  • Compute a shared secret
    Z
     of the private key
    U
     and a recipient public key
    W
    .
  • Derive a shared secret key data
    K
     from the shared secret
    Z
    .
  • Encrypt or decrypt a message using the cipher agreed upon parties and the shared secret key data
    K
    .
  • Compute an authentication tag using the agreed authentication scheme and the secret key data
    K
    .
As an encryption or decryption result, the Elliptic Curve Encryption Scheme (ECES) returns a buffer with the following components:
  • pk
     containing representation of the sender public key;
  • msg
     containing the encrypted or decrypted message;
  • tag
     containing the authentication tag.
The size of
msg
 equals to the size of the plain-text message. To get the size of
pk
 or
tag
, call the
ippsGFpECESGetBuffersSize_SM2
 function.
For more information on the SM2 cryptographic algorithm based on elliptic curves, see [SM2 PKE].
