GFpECTstPointInSubgroup

Checks if a point belongs to a specified subgroup.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsGFpECTstPointInGroup(const IppsGFpECPoint* pP, IppECResult* pResult, IppsGFpECState* pEC, Ipp8u* pScratchBuffer);

Parameters

pP

Pointer to the IppsGFpECPoint context.

pResult

Pointer to the result received upon the check that the point belongs to the elliptic curve over the finite field.

pEC

Pointer to the context of the elliptic curve.

pScratchBuffer

Pointer to the scratch buffer; can be NULL.

Description

This function checks whether a point belongs to the pre-defined subgroup of the elliptic curve defined over the finite field. The result of the testing is returned in pResult and may have the following values:

ippECValid

The point is in the subgroup of the curve.

ippECPointOutOfGroup

The point is out of the subgroup.

If the pointer to the scratch buffer is NULL, the function uses a short internal buffer for computations.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.

ippStsNullPtrErr

Indicates an error condition if any of the pointers pP, pResult, and pEC is NULL.

ippStsContextMatchErr

Indicates an error condition if any of the specified contexts does not match the operation.

ippStsOutOfRangeErr

Indicates an error condition if the point does not belong to the finite field over which the elliptic curve is initialized.
