@@ -43,12 +45,14 @@ The functions EC_POINT_make_affine and EC_POINTs_make_affine force the internal
|
||||
co-ordinate system. In the case of EC_POINTs_make_affine the value B<num> provides the number of points in the array B<points> to be
|
||||
forced.
|
||||
|
||||
EC_POINT_mul is a convenient interface to EC_POINTs_mul: it calculates the value generator * B<n> + B<q> * B<m> and stores the result in B<r>.
|
||||
EC_POINT_mul calculates the value generator * B<n> + B<q> * B<m> and stores the result in B<r>.
|
||||
The value B<n> may be NULL in which case the result is just B<q> * B<m> (variable point multiplication). Alternatively, both B<q> and B<m> may be NULL, and B<n> non-NULL, in which case the result is just generator * B<n> (fixed point multiplication).
|
||||
When performing a single fixed or variable point multiplication, the underlying implementation uses a constant time algorithm, when the input scalar (either B<n> or B<m>) is in the range [0, ec_group_order).
|
||||
|
||||
Although deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used,
|
||||
EC_POINTs_mul calculates the value generator * B<n> + B<q[0]> * B<m[0]> + ... + B<q[num-1]> * B<m[num-1]>. As for EC_POINT_mul the value B<n> may be NULL or B<num> may be zero.
|
||||
When performing a fixed point multiplication (B<n> is non-NULL and B<num> is 0) or a variable point multiplication (B<n> is NULL and B<num> is 1), the underlying implementation uses a constant time algorithm, when the input scalar (either B<n> or B<m[0]>) is in the range [0, ec_group_order).
|
||||
Modern versions should instead use EC_POINT_mul(), combined (if needed) with EC_POINT_add() in such rare circumstances.
|
||||
|
||||
The function EC_GROUP_precompute_mult stores multiples of the generator for faster point multiplication, whilst
|
||||
EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult tests whether precomputation has already been done. See L<EC_GROUP_copy(3)> for information
