ECCPValidateKeyPair
Validates private and public keys of the elliptic cryptosystem over GF(p).
Syntax
IppStatus ippsECCPValidateKeyPair(const IppsBigNumState* pPrivate, const IppsECCPPointState* pPublic, IppECResult* pResult, IppsECCPState* pECC);
Include Files
ippcp.h
Parameters
pPrivate |
Pointer to the private key privKey. |
pPublic |
Pointer to the public key pubKey. |
pResult |
Pointer to the validation result. |
pECC |
Pointer to the context of the elliptic cryptosystem. |
Description
The function validates the private key privKey and public key pubKey of the elliptic cryptosystem over a finite field GF(p) and allocates the result of the validation in accordance with the pointer pResult.
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 elliptic curve domain parameters must be hitherto defined by one of the functions: ECCPSet or ECCPSetStd.
The result of the cryptosystem keys validation for correctness can take one of the following values:
ippECValid |
Keys are valid. |
ippECInvalidKeyPair |
Keys are not valid because privKey· G ≠ pubKey |
ippECInvalidPrivateKey |
Key privKey falls outside the range of [1, n-1]. |
ippECPointIsAtInfinite |
Key pubKey is the point at infinity. |
ippECInvalidPublicKey |
Key pubKey is not valid because n · pubKey ≠ O , where O is the point at infinity. |
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. |
