AI_ECParametersBER
AI_ECParametersBER
Purpose:
This AI allows you to specify EC parameters to be used for elliptic curve operations.
Type of information this allows you to use:
the encoding of an ANSI X9.62 Version 1 algorithm identifier that specifies an elliptic curve. An equivalent set of parameters to those produced by AI_ECParamGen is decoded and stored in the resulting algorithm object.
The resulting AI_ECParameters algorithm object may then be used with AI_ECKeyGen to generate keys or with AI_EC_DHKeyAgree to execute key agreements.
Format of info supplied to B_SetAlgorithmInfo:
pointer to an ITEM structure that contains the ANSI
Format of info returned by B_GetAlgorithmInfo:
pointer to a ITEM structure that contains the ANSI
Crypto-C procedures to use with algorithm object:
B_SetAlgorithmInfo and B_GetAlgorithmInfo.
Algorithm methods to include in application’s algorithm chooser:
None.
Compatible representation:
AI_ECParameters.
Note: The X9.62 “NAMED CURVE” representation is not preserved when calling B_GetAlgorithmInfo in AI_ECParameters. NAMED CURVE representation
