Detailed Description

Ed25519 public key.

ed25519PublicKey is somewhat of a hack. It needed to provide DL_PublicKey interface to fit into the existing framework, but it lacks a lot of the internals of a true DL_PublicKey. The missing pieces include GroupParameters and Point, which provide the low level field operations found in traditional implementations like NIST curves over prime and binary fields.

ed25519PublicKey is also unusual because the class members of interest are byte arrays and not Integers. In addition, the byte arrays are little-endian meaning LSB is at element 0 and the MSB is at element 31. If you call GetPublicElement() then the little-endian byte array is converted to a big-endian Integer() so it can be returned the way a caller expects. And calling SetPublicElement() perfoms a similar internal conversion.

Since: Crypto++ 8.0

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetAlgorithmID()

OID ed25519PublicKey::GetAlgorithmID ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Retrieves the OID of the algorithm.

Returns: OID of the algorithm

Implements X509PublicKey.

Definition at line 625 of file xed25519.h.

◆ Save()

void ed25519PublicKey::Save ( BufferedTransformation & bt ) const

inlinevirtual

DER encode ASN.1 object.

Parameters

bt	BufferedTransformation object

Save() will write the OID associated with algorithm or scheme. In the case of public and private keys, this function writes the subjectPubicKeyInfo parts.

The default OID is from RFC 8410 using id-X25519. The default private key format is RFC 5208, which is the old format. The old format provides the best interop, and keys will work with OpenSSL.

Reimplemented from CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 638 of file xed25519.h.

◆ Load()

void ed25519PublicKey::Load ( BufferedTransformation & bt )

inlinevirtual

BER decode ASN.1 object.

Parameters

bt	BufferedTransformation object

See also: RFC 5958, Asymmetric Key Packages

Reimplemented from CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 646 of file xed25519.h.

◆ BERDecode()

void ed25519PublicKey::BERDecode ( BufferedTransformation & bt )

virtual

Decode this object from a BufferedTransformation.

Parameters

bt	BufferedTransformation object

Uses Basic Encoding Rules (BER)

Reimplemented from X509PublicKey.

Definition at line 753 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ DEREncode()

void ed25519PublicKey::DEREncode ( BufferedTransformation & bt ) const

virtual

Encode this object into a BufferedTransformation.

Parameters

bt	BufferedTransformation object

Uses Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER)

Reimplemented from X509PublicKey.

Definition at line 767 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID()

void ed25519PublicKey::BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID ( BufferedTransformation & bt )

Determine if OID is valid for this object.

BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID() parses the OID from bt and determines if it valid for this object. The problem in practice is there are multiple OIDs available to denote curve25519 operations. The OIDs include an old GNU OID used by SSH, OIDs specified in draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves, and OIDs specified in draft-ietf-curdle-pkix.

By default BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID() accepts an OID set by the user, ASN1::curve25519() and ASN1::Ed25519(). ASN1::curve25519() is generic and says "this key is valid for curve25519 operations". ASN1::Ed25519() is specific and says "this key is valid for ed25519 signing."

Definition at line 738 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ Validate()

bool ed25519PublicKey::Validate	(	RandomNumberGenerator &	rng,
		unsigned int	level
	)		const

virtual

Check this object for errors.

Parameters

rng	a RandomNumberGenerator for objects which use randomized testing
level	the 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.

See also: ThrowIfInvalid()

Implements CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 824 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ GetVoidValue()

bool ed25519PublicKey::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 701 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ AssignFrom()

void ed25519PublicKey::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 723 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ GetPublicKeyBytePtr()

const byte* ed25519PublicKey::GetPublicKeyBytePtr ( ) const

inline

Retrieve public key byte array.

Returns: the public key byte array

GetPublicKeyBytePtr() is used by signing code to call ed25519_sign.

Definition at line 682 of file xed25519.h.

Member Data Documentation

◆ PUBLIC_KEYLENGTH

const int ed25519PublicKey::PUBLIC_KEYLENGTH = 32

static

Size of the public key.

PUBLIC_KEYLENGTH is the size of the public key, in bytes.
