## ◆ Validate()

bool x25519::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.

## ◆ GetVoidValue()

bool x25519::GetVoidValue | ( | const char * | name,

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

## ◆ Save() [1/2]

void x25519::Save | ( | BufferedTransformation & | bt | ) | const
| inline virtual

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 subjectPublicKeyInfo 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.

See also
  RFC 5958, Asymmetric Key Packages

Reimplemented from CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 167 of file xed25519.h.

## ◆ Save() [2/2]

void x25519::Save | ( | BufferedTransformation & | bt,
|  | bool | v1
| ) |  | const
| inline

DER encode ASN.1 object.

Parameters

  bt | BufferedTransformation object
  v1 | flag indicating v1

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

The default OID is from RFC 8410 using `id-X25519`. The default private key format is RFC 5208.

v1 means INTEGER 0 is written. INTEGER 0 means RFC 5208 format, which is the old format. The old format provides the best interop, and keys will work with OpenSSL. The other option uses INTEGER 1. INTEGER 1 means RFC 5958 format, which is the new format.

See also
  RFC 5958, Asymmetric Key Packages

Definition at line 186 of file xed25519.h.

## ◆ Load()

void x25519::Load | ( | BufferedTransformation & | bt | ) |
| inline virtual

BER decode ASN.1 object.

Parameters

  bt | BufferedTransformation object

See also

void x25519::DEREncode | ( | BufferedTransformation & | bt | ) | const
| inline virtual

Encode this object into a BufferedTransformation.

Parameters

  bt | BufferedTransformation object

Uses Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER)

Reimplemented from PKCS8PrivateKey.

Definition at line 200 of file xed25519.h.

## ◆ BERDecodePrivateKey()

void x25519::BERDecodePrivateKey | ( | BufferedTransformation & | bt,
|  | bool | parametersPresent,
|  | size_t | size
| ) |  |
| virtual

Decode privateKey part of privateKeyInfo.

Parameters

  bt | BufferedTransformation object
  parametersPresent | flag indicating if algorithm parameters are present
  size | number of octets to read for the parameters, in bytes

BERDecodePrivateKey() the decodes privateKey part of privateKeyInfo, without the OCTET STRING header.

When `parametersPresent = true` then BERDecodePrivateKey() calls BERDecodeAlgorithmParameters() to parse algorithm parameters.

See also
  BERDecodeAlgorithmParameters

Implements PKCS8PrivateKey.

Definition at line 238 of file xed25519.cpp.

## ◆ DEREncodePrivateKey()

void x25519::DEREncodePrivateKey | ( | BufferedTransformation & | bt | ) | const
| virtual

Encode privateKey part of privateKeyInfo.

Parameters

  bt | BufferedTransformation object

DEREncodePrivateKey() encodes the privateKey part of privateKeyInfo, without the OCTET STRING header.

See also
  DEREncodeAlgorithmParameters

Implements PKCS8PrivateKey.

Definition at line 259 of file xed25519.cpp.

## ◆ DEREncode() [2/2]

void x25519::DEREncode | ( | BufferedTransformation & | bt,
|  | int | version
| ) |  | const

DER encode ASN.1 object.

Parameters

  bt | BufferedTransformation object
  version | indicates version

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

The default OID is from RFC 8410 using `id-X25519`. The default private key format is RFC 5208.

The value of version is written as the INTEGER. INTEGER 0 means RFC 5208 format, which is the old format. The old format provides the best interop, and keys will work with OpenSSL. The INTEGER 1 means RFC 5958 format, which is the new format.

Definition at line 211 of file xed25519.cpp.

## ◆ BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID()

void x25519::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::X25519()`. `ASN1::curve25519()` is generic and says "this key is valid for curve25519 operations". `ASN1::X25519()` is specific and says "this key is valid for x25519 key exchange."

Definition at line 148 of file xed25519.cpp.

## ◆ GenerateRandom()

void x25519::GenerateRandom | ( | RandomNumberGenerator & | rng,
|  | const NameValuePairs & | params
| ) |  |
| virtual

Generate a random key or crypto parameters.

Parameters

  rng | a RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
  params | additional initialization parameters

Exceptions

If a derived class does not override GenerateRandom(), then the base class throws NotImplemented.

Reimplemented from GeneratableCryptoMaterial.

## ◆ Agree()

bool x25519::Agree | ( | byte * | agreedValue,

|  | bool | validateOtherPublicKey = `true`
| ) |  | const
