AI_ECBuildAcceleratorTable

 

 

 

an A_EC_PARAMS structure:

 

 

 

 

 

 

typedef struct

{

 

 

unsigned int

version;

 

/* implementation version */

unsigned int

fieldType;

 

/* indicates type of base field */

ITEM

fieldInfo;

 

/* It is the prime number */

 

 

 

/* if fieldType = FT_FP; */

 

/* the basis polynomial if fieldType = FT_F2_POLYNOMIAL; */

 

/* and the degree of the field if fieldType = FT_F2_ONB */

ITEM

coeffA;

 

/* elliptic curve coefficient */

ITEM

coeffB;

 

/* elliptic curve coefficient */

ITEM

base;

 

/* elliptic curve group generator */

ITEM

order;

/* order of subgroup’s generating element */

ITEM

cofactor;

 

/* the cofactor of the subgroup */

unsigned int

pointRepresentation;

/* not used. */

 

 

 

/* set to CI_NO_COMPRESS as a default */

unsigned int fieldElementBits;

 

/* field element size in bits */

} A_EC_PARAMS;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Format of info returned by B_GetAlgorithmInfo:

B_GetAlgorithmInfo is not supported with this AI. If called, it will return an error.

Crypto-C procedures to use with algorithm object:

B_BuildTableInit and B_BuildTableFinal.

Algorithm methods to include in application’s algorithm chooser:

AM_ECFP_BLD_ACCEL_TABLE for odd prime fields and AM_ECF2POLY_BLD_ACCEL_TABLE for even characteristic.

Output Considerations:

The size of the accelerator table may be found through a call to

B_BuildTableGetBufSize after a call to B_BuildTableInit.
