A new point is constructed by calling the function \fIEC_POINT_new()\fR and providing the \&\fBgroup\fR object that the point relates to. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_free()\fR frees the memory associated with the \fB\s-1EC_POINT\s0\fR. if \fBpoint\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 nothing is done. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_clear_free()\fR destroys any sensitive data held within the \s-1EC_POINT\s0 and then frees its memory. If \fBpoint\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 nothing is done. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_copy()\fR copies the point \fBsrc\fR into \fBdst\fR. Both \fBsrc\fR and \fBdst\fR must use the same \fB\s-1EC_METHOD\s0\fR. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_dup()\fR creates a new \fB\s-1EC_POINT\s0\fR object and copies the content from \&\fBsrc\fR to the newly created \fB\s-1EC_POINT\s0\fR object. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_method_of()\fR obtains the \fB\s-1EC_METHOD\s0\fR associated with \fBpoint\fR. .PP A valid point on a curve is the special point at infinity. A point is set to be at infinity by calling \fIEC_POINT_set_to_infinity()\fR. .PP The affine co-ordinates for a point describe a point in terms of its x and y position. The function \fIEC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates()\fR sets the \fBx\fR and \fBy\fR co-ordinates for the point \fBp\fR defined over the curve given in \fBgroup\fR. The function \fIEC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates()\fR sets \fBx\fR and \fBy\fR, either of which may be \s-1NULL,\s0 to the corresponding coordinates of \fBp\fR. .PP The functions \fIEC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp()\fR and \&\fIEC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m()\fR are synonyms for \&\fIEC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates()\fR. They are defined for backwards compatibility only and should not be used. .PP The functions \fIEC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GFp()\fR and \&\fIEC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m()\fR are synonyms for \&\fIEC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates()\fR. They are defined for backwards compatibility only and should not be used. .PP As well as the affine co-ordinates, a point can alternatively be described in terms of its Jacobian projective co-ordinates (for Fp curves only). Jacobian projective co-ordinates are expressed as three values x, y and z. Working in this co-ordinate system provides more efficient point multiplication operations. A mapping exists between Jacobian projective co-ordinates and affine co-ordinates. A Jacobian projective co-ordinate (x, y, z) can be written as an affine co-ordinate as (x/(z^2), y/(z^3)). Conversion to Jacobian projective from affine co-ordinates is simple. The co-ordinate (x, y) is mapped to (x, y, 1). To set or get the projective co-ordinates use \&\fIEC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp()\fR and \&\fIEC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp()\fR respectively. .PP Points can also be described in terms of their compressed co-ordinates. For a point (x, y), for any given value for x such that the point is on the curve there will only ever be two possible values for y. Therefore, a point can be set using the \fIEC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates()\fR function where \fBx\fR is the x co-ordinate and \fBy_bit\fR is a value 0 or 1 to identify which of the two possible values for y should be used. .PP The functions \fIEC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp()\fR and \&\fIEC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m()\fR are synonyms for \&\fIEC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates()\fR. They are defined for backwards compatibility only and should not be used. .PP In addition \fB\s-1EC_POINT\s0\fR can be converted to and from various external representations. The octet form is the binary encoding of the \fBECPoint\fR structure (as defined in \s-1RFC5480\s0 and used in certificates and \s-1TLS\s0 records): only the content octets are present, the \fB\s-1OCTET STRING\s0\fR tag and length are not included. \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR form is the octet form interpreted as a big endian integer converted to a \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR structure. Hexadecimal form is the octet form converted to a \s-1NULL\s0 terminated character string where each character is one of the printable values 0\-9 or A\-F (or a\-f). .PP The functions \fIEC_POINT_point2oct()\fR, \fIEC_POINT_oct2point()\fR, \fIEC_POINT_point2bn()\fR, \&\fIEC_POINT_bn2point()\fR, \fIEC_POINT_point2hex()\fR and \fIEC_POINT_hex2point()\fR convert from and to EC_POINTs for the formats: octet, \s-1BIGNUM\s0 and hexadecimal respectively. .PP The function \fIEC_POINT_point2oct()\fR encodes the given curve point \fBp\fR as an octet string into the buffer \fBbuf\fR of size \fBlen\fR, using the specified conversion form \fBform\fR. The encoding conforms with Sec. 2.3.3 of the \s-1SECG SEC 1 \s0(\*(L"Elliptic Curve Cryptography\*(R") standard. Similarly the function \fIEC_POINT_oct2point()\fR decodes a curve point into \fBp\fR from the octet string contained in the given buffer \fBbuf\fR of size \fBlen\fR, conforming to Sec. 2.3.4 of the \s-1SECG SEC 1 \s0(\*(L"Elliptic Curve Cryptography\*(R") standard. .PP The functions \fIEC_POINT_point2hex()\fR and \fIEC_POINT_point2bn()\fR convert a point \fBp\fR, respectively, to the hexadecimal or \s-1BIGNUM\s0 representation of the same encoding of the function \fIEC_POINT_point2oct()\fR. Vice versa, similarly to the function \fIEC_POINT_oct2point()\fR, the functions \&\fIEC_POINT_hex2point()\fR and \fIEC_POINT_point2bn()\fR decode the hexadecimal or \&\s-1BIGNUM\s0 representation into the \s-1EC_POINT \s0\fBp\fR. .PP Notice that, according to the standard, the octet string encoding of the point at infinity for a given curve is fixed to a single octet of value zero and that, vice versa, a single octet of size zero is decoded as the point at infinity. .PP The function \fIEC_POINT_point2oct()\fR must be supplied with a buffer long enough to store the octet form. The return value provides the number of octets stored. Calling the function with a \s-1NULL\s0 buffer will not perform the conversion but will still return the required buffer length. .PP The function \fIEC_POINT_point2buf()\fR allocates a buffer of suitable length and writes an \s-1EC_POINT\s0 to it in octet format. The allocated buffer is written to \&\fB*pbuf\fR and its length is returned. The caller must free up the allocated buffer with a call to \fIOPENSSL_free()\fR. Since the allocated buffer value is written to \fB*pbuf\fR the \fBpbuf\fR parameter \fB\s-1MUST NOT\s0\fR be \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. .PP The function \fIEC_POINT_point2hex()\fR will allocate sufficient memory to store the hexadecimal string. It is the caller's responsibility to free this memory with a subsequent call to \fIOPENSSL_free()\fR. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fIEC_POINT_new()\fR and \fIEC_POINT_dup()\fR return the newly allocated \s-1EC_POINT\s0 or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error: \fIEC_POINT_copy()\fR, \&\fIEC_POINT_set_to_infinity()\fR, \fIEC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp()\fR, \&\fIEC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp()\fR, \&\fIEC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp()\fR, \fIEC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GFp()\fR, \&\fIEC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp()\fR, \&\fIEC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m()\fR, \fIEC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m()\fR, \&\fIEC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m()\fR and \fIEC_POINT_oct2point()\fR. .PP EC_POINT_method_of returns the \s-1EC_METHOD\s0 associated with the supplied \s-1EC_POINT.\s0 .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_point2oct()\fR and \fIEC_POINT_point2buf()\fR return the length of the required buffer or 0 on error. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_point2bn()\fR returns the pointer to the \s-1BIGNUM\s0 supplied, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_bn2point()\fR returns the pointer to the \s-1EC_POINT\s0 supplied, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_point2hex()\fR returns a pointer to the hex string, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP \&\fIEC_POINT_hex2point()\fR returns the pointer to the \s-1EC_POINT\s0 supplied, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fIcrypto\fR\|(7), \fIEC_GROUP_new\fR\|(3), \fIEC_GROUP_copy\fR\|(3), \&\fIEC_POINT_add\fR\|(3), \fIEC_KEY_new\fR\|(3), \&\fIEC_GFp_simple_method\fR\|(3), \fId2i_ECPKParameters\fR\|(3) .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2013\-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
