=head1 SYNOPSIS
|

|
|
|

|

#include <openssl/ec.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
|
||
|
|
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
|
||
|
|
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
|

|

|
|
const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_simple_method(void);
|
||
|
|
const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_mont_method(void);
|
||
|
|
const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_nist_method(void);
|
||
|
|
const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_nistp224_method(void);
|
||
|

const EC_METHOD *EC_GFp_nistp521_method(void);
|

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All const EC_METHOD *EC_GF* functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0, since
|
||
|
|
EC_METHOD is no longer a public concept.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Elliptic Curve library provides a number of different implementations through a single common interface.
|
||
|
|
When constructing a curve using EC_GROUP_new (see L<EC_GROUP_new(3)>) an
|
||
|
|
implementation method must be provided. The functions described here all return a const pointer to an
|
||
|
|
B<EC_METHOD> structure that can be passed to EC_GROUP_NEW. It is important that the correct implementation
|
||
|
|
type for the form of curve selected is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For F2^m curves there is only one implementation choice, i.e. EC_GF2_simple_method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Fp curves the lowest common denominator implementation is the EC_GFp_simple_method implementation. All
|
||
|
|
other implementations are based on this one. EC_GFp_mont_method builds on EC_GFp_simple_method but adds the
|
||
|
|
use of montgomery multiplication (see L<BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)>). EC_GFp_nist_method
|
||
|
|
offers an implementation optimised for use with NIST recommended curves (NIST curves are available through
|
||
|
|
EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name as described in L<EC_GROUP_new(3)>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The functions EC_GFp_nistp224_method, EC_GFp_nistp256_method and EC_GFp_nistp521_method offer 64 bit
|
||
|
|
optimised implementations for the NIST P224, P256 and P521 curves respectively. Note, however, that these
|
||
|
|
implementations are not available on all platforms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EC_METHOD_get_field_type() was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
|
||
|
|
Applications should use EC_GROUP_get_field_type() as a replacement (see L<EC_GROUP_copy(3)>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All EC_GFp* functions and EC_GF2m_simple_method always return a const pointer to an EC_METHOD structure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EC_METHOD_get_field_type returns an integer that identifies the type of field the EC_METHOD structure supports.
