.Sh DESCRIPTION
An
.Vt EC_KEY_METHOD
object holds function pointers used for
.Vt EC_KEY
operations.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_new
creates a shallow copy of
.Fa meth ,
or an empty
.Vt EC_KEY_METHOD
object if
.Fa meth
is
.Dv NULL .
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_free
frees
.Fa meth .
If
.Fa meth
is
.Dv NULL
or the return value of
.Fn EC_KEY_OpenSSL ,
no action occurs.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_set_init
and
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_get_init
set and retrieve optional callback functions called at the following places:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width set_private -compact
.It Fa init
at the end of
.Fn EC_KEY_new_method
and
.Fn EC_KEY_set_method
.It Fa finish
at the beginning of
.Xr EC_KEY_free 3 ,
.Xr EC_KEY_copy 3 ,
and
.Fn EC_KEY_set_method
.It Fa copy
at the end of
.Xr EC_KEY_copy 3
.It Fa set_group
at the end of
.Xr EC_KEY_set_group 3
and
.Xr EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name 3
.It Fa set_private
at the beginning of
.Xr EC_KEY_set_private_key 3
.It Fa set_public
at the beginning of
.Xr EC_KEY_set_public_key 3
.El
.Pp
If any of these callbacks returns 0, the calling function fails.
By default, all these callbacks are
.Dv NULL .
Arguments of
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_get_init
can be set to
.Dv NULL
to selectively retrieve callback function pointers.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_set_sign
and
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_get_sign
set and retrieve the functions implementing
.Xr ECDSA_sign_ex 3 ,
.Xr ECDSA_sign_setup 3 ,
and
.Xr ECDSA_do_sign_ex 3 .
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_set_verify
and
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_get_verify
set and retrieve the functions implementing
.Xr ECDSA_verify 3
and
.Xr ECDSA_do_verify 3 .
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_set_keygen
and
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_get_keygen
set and retrieve the function implementing
.Xr EC_KEY_generate_key 3 .
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_set_compute_key
and
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_get_compute_key
set and retrieve the function implementing
.Xr ECDH_compute_key 3 .
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_set_default_method
chooses the
.Fa meth
to be used for the creation of new
.Vt EC_KEY
objects by future invocations of
.Fn EC_KEY_new_method ,
or reverts to the default implementation if
.Fa meth
is
.Dv NULL .
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_new_method
creates and initializes a new
.Vt EC_KEY
object using the given
.Fa engine ,
or the using the
.Vt EC_KEY_METHOD
set with
.Fn EC_KEY_set_default_method
if
.Fa engine
is
.Dv NULL ,
or using the default EC_KEY implementation by default.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_set_method
dissociates the
.Fa key
from the
.Vt ENGINE
it is using, if any, and causes it to use
.Fa meth
in the future.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn EC_KEY_METHOD_new
returns the newly allocated
.Vt EC_KEY_METHOD
object or
.Dv NULL
if an error occurs.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_OpenSSL
returns a static object representing the default EC_KEY implementation.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_get_default_method
returns the
.Vt EC_KEY_METHOD
that
.Fn EC_KEY_new_method
will use for the creation of new
.Vt EC_KEY
objects in the future.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_new_method
returns the newly allocated
.Vt EC_KEY
object or NULL if an error occurs.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_set_method
returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
.Pp
.Fn EC_KEY_get_method
returns the EC_KEY implementation used by the given
.Fa key .
