144 i2d_ECPrivateKey, d2i_ECPrivate_key \- Encode and decode functions for saving and
145 reading EC_KEY structures
149 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
151 \& #include <openssl/ec.h>
153 \& EC_KEY *d2i_ECPrivateKey(EC_KEY **key, const unsigned char **in, long len);
154 \& int i2d_ECPrivateKey(EC_KEY *key, unsigned char **out);
156 \& unsigned int EC_KEY_get_enc_flags(const EC_KEY *key);
157 \& void EC_KEY_set_enc_flags(EC_KEY *eckey, unsigned int flags);
160 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
161 The ECPrivateKey encode and decode routines encode and parse an
162 \&\fB\s-1EC_KEY\s0\fR structure into a binary format (\s-1ASN.1 DER\s0) and back again.
164 These functions are similar to the \fId2i_X509()\fR functions, and you should refer to
165 that page for a detailed description (see \fId2i_X509\fR\|(3)).
167 The format of the external representation of the public key written by
168 i2d_ECPrivateKey (such as whether it is stored in a compressed form or not) is
169 described by the point_conversion_form. See \fIEC_GROUP_copy\fR\|(3)
170 for a description of point_conversion_form.
172 When reading a private key encoded without an associated public key (e.g. if
173 \&\s-1EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY\s0 has been used \- see below), then d2i_ECPrivateKey generates
174 the missing public key automatically. Private keys encoded without parameters
175 (e.g. if \s-1EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS\s0 has been used \- see below) cannot be loaded using
178 The functions EC_KEY_get_enc_flags and EC_KEY_set_enc_flags get and set the
179 value of the encoding flags for the \fBkey\fR. There are two encoding flags
180 currently defined \- \s-1EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS\s0 and \s-1EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY. \s0 These flags
181 define the behaviour of how the \fBkey\fR is converted into \s-1ASN1\s0 in a call to
182 i2d_ECPrivateKey. If \s-1EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS\s0 is set then the public parameters for
183 the curve are not encoded along with the private key. If \s-1EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY\s0 is
184 set then the public key is not encoded along with the private key.
186 .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
187 \&\fId2i_ECPrivateKey()\fR returns a valid \fB\s-1EC_KEY\s0\fR structure or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error
188 occurs. The error code that can be obtained by
189 \&\fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
191 \&\fIi2d_ECPrivateKey()\fR returns the number of bytes successfully encoded or a
192 negative value if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by
193 \&\fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
195 EC_KEY_get_enc_flags returns the value of the current encoding flags for the
