GFpECVerify

Verifies the parameters of an elliptic curve.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsGFpECVerify(IppECResult* pResult, IppsGFpECState* pEC, Ipp8u* pScratchBuffer);

Include Files

ippcp.h

Parameters

pResult

Pointer to the verification result.

pEC

Pointer to the context of the elliptic curve.

pScratchBuffer

Pointer to the scratch buffer.

Description

This function verifies the parameters of the elliptic curve from the input IppsGFpECState context and returns the result in pResult. The result of the verification may have the following values:

ippECValid

Parameters are valid.

ippECIsZeroDiscriminant

4 A3+ 3 B2= 0.

ippECPointIsAtInfinity

Base point G = (x, y) is a point at infinity.

ippECPointIsNotValid

Base point G = (x, y) does not belong to the curve.

ippECInvalidOrder

Order of the base point G = (x, y) is invalid.

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 specified pointers is NULL.

ippStsContextMatchErr

Indicates an error condition if the IppsGFpECState context parameter does not match the operation.
