17 * DOC: ECDH Helper Functions
19 * To use ECDH with the KPP cipher API, the following data structure and
20 * functions should be used.
22 * The ECC curves known to the ECDH implementation are specified in this
25 * To use ECDH with KPP, the following functions should be used to operate on
26 * an ECDH private key. The packet private key that can be set with
27 * the KPP API function call of crypto_kpp_set_secret.
31 #define ECC_CURVE_NIST_P192 0x0001
32 #define ECC_CURVE_NIST_P256 0x0002
35 * struct ecdh - define an ECDH private key
37 * @curve_id: ECC curve the key is based on.
38 * @key: Private ECDH key
39 * @key_size: Size of the private ECDH key
42 unsigned short curve_id
;
44 unsigned short key_size
;
48 * crypto_ecdh_key_len() - Obtain the size of the private ECDH key
49 * @params: private ECDH key
51 * This function returns the packet ECDH key size. A caller can use that
52 * with the provided ECDH private key reference to obtain the required
53 * memory size to hold a packet key.
55 * Return: size of the key in bytes
57 int crypto_ecdh_key_len(const struct ecdh
*params
);
60 * crypto_ecdh_encode_key() - encode the private key
61 * @buf: Buffer allocated by the caller to hold the packet ECDH
62 * private key. The buffer should be at least crypto_ecdh_key_len
64 * @len: Length of the packet private key buffer
65 * @p: Buffer with the caller-specified private key
67 * The ECDH implementations operate on a packet representation of the private
70 * Return: -EINVAL if buffer has insufficient size, 0 on success
72 int crypto_ecdh_encode_key(char *buf
, unsigned int len
, const struct ecdh
*p
);
75 * crypto_ecdh_decode_key() - decode a private key
76 * @buf: Buffer holding a packet key that should be decoded
77 * @len: Lenth of the packet private key buffer
78 * @p: Buffer allocated by the caller that is filled with the
79 * unpacket ECDH private key.
81 * The unpacking obtains the private key by pointing @p to the correct location
82 * in @buf. Thus, both pointers refer to the same memory.
84 * Return: -EINVAL if buffer has insufficient size, 0 on success
86 int crypto_ecdh_decode_key(const char *buf
, unsigned int len
, struct ecdh
