Functions

cmox_ecc_retval_t cmox_ecdsa_keyGen ( cmox_ecc_handle_t * P_pEccCtx , const cmox_ecc_impl_t P_CurveParams , const uint8_t * P_pRandom , size_t P_RandomLen , uint8_t * P_pPrivKey , size_t * P_pPrivKeyLen , uint8_t * P_pPubKey , size_t * P_pPubKeyLen )

Generate private and public keys to use with ECDSA.

Note

the private key is derived from the random in the following way: 

privkey = (random >> ((WORD_NBIT - N_MSW_NBIT) & 7)) + 1
, where: random is the input random buffer (interpreted as a big-endian integer), WORD_NBIT is the bitsize of a cpu word, N_MSW_NBIT is the bitlength of the most significant word of the parameter N of the curve.

Note

If P_RandomLen is not enough, an error is returned and P_pPrivKeyLen contains the minimum number of bytes of random to provide (and is also the minimum length of P_pPrivKey), while P_pPubKeyLen contains the minimum length of P_pPubKey.

cmox_ecc_retval_t cmox_ecdsa_sign ( cmox_ecc_handle_t * P_pEccCtx , const cmox_ecc_impl_t P_CurveParams , const uint8_t * P_pRandom , size_t P_RandomLen , const uint8_t * P_pPrivKey , size_t P_PrivKeyLen , const uint8_t * P_pDigest , size_t P_DigestLen , uint8_t * P_pSignature , size_t * P_pSignatureLen )

Generate a signature, using ECDSA.

Note

the internal value k, used as scalar and multiplied by the base point, is derived from the random in the following way: 

k = (random >> ((WORD_NBIT - N_MSW_NBIT) & 7)) + 1
, where: random is the input random buffer (interpreted as a big-endian integer), WORD_NBIT is the bitsize of a cpu word, N_MSW_NBIT is the bitlength of the most significant word of the parameter N of the curve.

Note

If P_RandomLen is not enough, an error is returned and P_pSignatureLen contains the minimum number of bytes of random to provide (and is also the minimum length of P_pPrivKey, and half the length of P_pSignature).

cmox_ecc_retval_t cmox_ecdsa_verify ( cmox_ecc_handle_t * P_pEccCtx , const cmox_ecc_impl_t P_CurveParams , const uint8_t * P_pPubKey , size_t P_PubKeyLen , const uint8_t * P_pDigest , size_t P_DigestLen , const uint8_t * P_pSignature , size_t P_SignatureLen , uint32_t * P_pFaultCheck )

Verify a signature, using ECDSA.

Note

P_pFaultCheck value, if the parameter is provided, MUST be checked to be equal to the retval, and both MUST be equal to the successful value. P_pFaultCheck MUST be checked only if the main result is successful, and has no relevance if the main result is not successful. Every comparison (both for the return value and for P_pFaultCheck) must be done against the success value, and not comparing the value with the failure value. Indeed, in presence of faults, especially P_pFaultCheck, could be a dirty value.
