GFpECSetPointRandom

Sets the coordinates of a point on an elliptic curve to random values.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsGFpECSetPointRandom(IppsGFpECPoint* pPoint, IppsGFpECState* pEC, IppBitSupplier rndFunc, void* pRndParam, Ipp8u* pScratchBuffer);

Include Files

ippcp.h

Parameters

pPoint	Pointer to the IppsGFpECPoint context.
pEC	Pointer to the context of the elliptic curve.
rndFunc	Pesudorandom number generator.
pRndParam	Pointer to the pseudorandom number generator context.
pScratchBuffer	Pointer to the scratch buffer of size produced by ippsGFpECScratchBufferSize.

Description

This function assigns random values to the coordinates of an elliptic curve point in the IppsGFpECPoint context.

The ippsGFpECScratchBufferSize function should be called with nScalars equal to at least 1 to get the valid pScratchBuffer.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr	Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.
ippStsNullPtrErr	Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL.
ippStsContextMatchErr	Indicates an error condition if any of the context parameters does not match the operation.
ippStsOutOfRangeErr	Indicates an error if the specified point does not belong to the finite field over which the elliptic curve is initialized.
