## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ Initialize() [1/2]

template<class EC>

void DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::Initialize | ( | const EllipticCurve & | ec,
|  | const Point & | G,
|  | const Integer & | n,
|  | const Integer & | k = `Integer::Zero()`
| ) |  |

Initialize an EC GroupParameters using {EC,G,n,k}.

Parameters

  ec | the elliptic curve
  G | the base point
  n | the order of the base point
  k | the cofactor

Definition at line 76 of file eccrypto.h.

## ◆ Initialize() [2/2]

template<class EC >

void DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::Initialize | ( | const OID & | oid | ) |

Initialize a DL_GroupParameters_EC {EC,G,n,k}.

Parameters

  oid | the OID of a curve

This Initialize() function overload initializes group parameters from existing parameters.

Definition at line 467 of file eccrypto.cpp.

## ◆ GetVoidValue()

template<class EC >

bool DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::GetVoidValue | ( | const char * | name,
|  | const std::type_info & | valueType,
|  | void * | pValue
| ) |  | const
| virtual

Get a named value.

Parameters

  name | the name of the object or value to retrieve
  valueType | reference to a variable that receives the value
  pValue | void pointer to a variable that receives the value

Returns
  true if the value was retrieved, false otherwise

GetVoidValue() retrieves the value of name if it exists.

Note
  GetVoidValue() is an internal function and should be implemented by derived classes. Users should use one of the other functions instead.

See also
  GetValue(), GetValueWithDefault(), GetIntValue(), GetIntValueWithDefault(), GetRequiredParameter() and GetRequiredIntParameter()

Implements NameValuePairs.

Definition at line 494 of file eccrypto.cpp.

## ◆ AssignFrom()

template<class EC >

void DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::AssignFrom | ( | const NameValuePairs & | source | ) |
| virtual

Assign values to this object.

This function can be used to create a public key from a private key.

Implements CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 511 of file eccrypto.cpp.

## ◆ GenerateRandom()

template<class EC >

void DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::GenerateRandom | ( | RandomNumberGenerator & | rng,
|  | const NameValuePairs & | alg
| ) |  |
| virtual

this implementation doesn't actually generate a curve, it just initializes the parameters with existing values

parameters: (Curve, SubgroupGenerator, SubgroupOrder, Cofactor (optional)), or (GroupOID)

Reimplemented from GeneratableCryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 532 of file eccrypto.cpp.

## ◆ GetBasePrecomputation()

template<class EC>

const DL_FixedBasePrecomputation<Element>& DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::GetBasePrecomputation | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Retrieves the group precomputation.

Returns
  a const reference to the group precomputation using a fixed base

Implements DL_GroupParameters< typename EcPrecomputation< EC > ::Element >.

Definition at line 99 of file eccrypto.h.

## ◆ AccessBasePrecomputation()

template<class EC>

DL_FixedBasePrecomputation<Element>& DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::AccessBasePrecomputation | ( |  | ) |
| inline virtual

Retrieves the group precomputation.

Returns
  a non-const reference to the group precomputation using a fixed base

Implements DL_GroupParameters< typename EcPrecomputation< EC > ::Element >.

Definition at line 100 of file eccrypto.h.

## ◆ GetSubgroupOrder()

template<class EC>

const Integer& DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::GetSubgroupOrder | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Retrieves the subgroup order.

Returns
  the order of subgroup generated by the base element

Implements DL_GroupParameters< typename EcPrecomputation< EC > ::Element >.

Definition at line 101 of file eccrypto.h.

## ◆ GetCofactor()

template<class EC >

Integer DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::GetCofactor | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Retrieves the cofactor.

Returns
  the cofactor

Either GetGroupOrder() or GetCofactor() must be overridden in a derived class.

Definition at line 592 of file eccrypto.cpp.

## ◆ ValidateGroup()

template<class EC >

bool DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::ValidateGroup | ( | RandomNumberGenerator & | rng,
|  | unsigned int | level
| ) |  | const
| virtual

Check the group for errors.

Parameters

  rng | RandomNumberGenerator for objects which use randomized testing
  level | level of thoroughness

Returns
  true if the tests succeed, false otherwise

There are four levels of thoroughness:

- 0 - using this object won't cause a crash or exception
- 1 - this object will probably function, and encrypt, sign, other operations correctly
- 2 - ensure this object will function correctly, and perform reasonable security checks
- 3 - perform reasonable security checks, and do checks that may take a long time

Level 0 does not require a RandomNumberGenerator. A NullRNG() can be used for level 0. Level 1 may not check for weak keys and such. Levels 2 and 3 are recommended.

ValidateGroup() must be implemented in a derived class.

Implements DL_GroupParameters< typename EcPrecomputation< EC > ::Element >.

Definition at line 611 of file eccrypto.cpp.

## ◆ GetEncodedElementSize()

template<class EC>

virtual unsigned int DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::GetEncodedElementSize | ( | bool | reversible | ) | const
| inline virtual

Retrieves the encoded element's size.

Parameters

  reversible | flag indicating the encoding format

Returns
  encoded element's size, in bytes

The format of the encoded element varies by the underlyinhg type of the element and the reversible flag. GetEncodedElementSize() must be implemented in a derived class.

See also
  GetEncodedElementSize(), EncodeElement(), DecodeElement()

Implements DL_GroupParameters< typename EcPrecomputation< EC > ::Element >.

Definition at line 113 of file eccrypto.h.

## ◆ DecodeElement()

template<class EC>

Element DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::DecodeElement | ( | const byte * | encoded,
|  | bool | checkForGroupMembership
| ) |  | const
| inline virtual

Decodes the element.

Parameters

  encoded | byte array with the encoded element
  checkForGroupMembership | flag indicating if the element should be validated

Returns
  Element after decoding

DecodeElement() must be implemented in a derived class.

Precondition
  `COUNTOF(encoded) == GetEncodedElementSize()`

Implements DL_GroupParameters< typename EcPrecomputation< EC > ::Element >.

Definition at line 120 of file eccrypto.h.

## ◆ GetMaxExponent()

template<class EC>

Integer DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >::GetMaxExponent | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Retrieves the maximum exponent for the group.

Returns
  the maximum exponent for the group

Implements DL_GroupParameters< typename EcPrecomputation< EC > ::Element >.
