For details about the semantics, examples, caveats, and bugs, see .Xr ASN1_item_d2i 3 . .Pp .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters and .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters decode and encode the parameters of an elliptic curve. .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters_bio , .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters_bio , .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters_fp , and .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters_fp are similar except that they decode or encode using a .Vt BIO or .Vt FILE pointer. These four functions are currently implemented as macros. .Pp .Fn d2i_ECParameters does the same parsing as .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters but saves the result in the .Fa group field of an .Vt EC_KEY structure. .Pp .Fn i2d_ECParameters produces the same output as .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters but uses .Fa val_in->group for input instead of .Fa val_in . .Pp .Fn ECParameters_dup allocates and initializes an empty .Vt EC_KEY object and copies the EC parameters from .Fa val_in to it by calling .Fn i2d_ECParameters and .Fn d2i_ECParameters . If a private or public key or any flags are present in .Fa val_in , they are not copied. .Pp .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey and .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey decode and encode an EC private key using an ASN.1 .Vt ECPrivateKey structure defined in RFC 5915 section 3 and used for the privateKey field of the ASN.1 .Vt PrivateKeyInfo structure defined in RFC 5208 section 5, see .Xr PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_new 3 . .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey_bio , .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey_bio , .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey_fp , and .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey_fp are similar except that they decode or encode using a .Vt BIO or .Vt FILE pointer. .Pp .Fn o2i_ECPublicKey and .Fn i2o_ECPublicKey decode and encode an EC public key. In contrast to .Xr ASN1_item_d2i 3 , .Fn o2i_ECPublicKey requires .Fa val_out , .Pf * Fa val_out , and .Po Pf * Fa val_out Pc Ns -> Ns Fa group to be .Pf non- Dv NULL . .Pp .Fn ECPKParameters_print and .Fn ECPKParameters_print_fp print human-readable output of the public parameters of the .Vt EC_GROUP to .Fa out_bio or .Fa out_fp . The output lines are indented by .Fa indent spaces. .Pp .Fn ECParameters_print and .Fn ECParameters_print_fp print the parameter components of .Fa val_in to .Fa out_bio or .Fa out_fp . .Pp .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY and .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY decode and encode an EC public key using an ASN.1 .Vt SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1 and documented in .Xr X509_PUBKEY_new 3 . .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY_bio , .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY_bio , .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY_fp , and .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY_fp are similar except that they decode or encode using a .Vt BIO or .Vt FILE pointer. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters , .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters_bio , and .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters_fp return a valid .Vt EC_GROUP structure or .Dv NULL if an error occurs. .Pp .Fn d2i_ECParameters , .Fn ECParameters_dup , .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey , .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey_bio , .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey_fp , .Fn o2i_ECPublicKey , .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY , .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY_bio , and .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY_fp return a valid .Vt EC_KEY structure or .Dv NULL if an error occurs. .Pp .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters , .Fn i2d_ECParameters , .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey , .Fn i2o_ECPublicKey , and .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY return the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. .Pp .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters_bio , .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters_fp , .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey_bio , .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey_fp , .Fn ECPKParameters_print , .Fn ECPKParameters_print_fp , .Fn ECParameters_print , .Fn ECParameters_print_fp , .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY_bio , and .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY_fp return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurs. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ASN1_item_d2i 3 , .Xr EC_GROUP_copy 3 , .Xr EC_GROUP_new 3 , .Xr EC_KEY_new 3 , .Xr EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY 3 , .Xr PEM_write_ECPrivateKey 3 , .Xr PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_new 3 , .Xr X509_PUBKEY_new 3 .Sh STANDARDS RFC 5915: Elliptic Curve Private Key Structure .Pp RFC 5208: Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #8: Private-Key Information Syntax Specification .Pp RFC 5280: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile, section 4.1: Basic Certificate Fields .Sh HISTORY .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters , .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters , .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters_bio , .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters_bio , .Fn d2i_ECPKParameters_fP , .Fn i2d_ECPKParameters_fp , .Fn d2i_ECParameters , .Fn i2d_ECParameters , .Fn ECParameters_dup , .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey , .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey , .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey_bio , .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey_bio , .Fn d2i_ECPrivateKey_fp , .Fn i2d_ECPrivateKey_fp , .Fn o2i_ECPublicKey , .Fn i2o_ECPublicKey , .Fn ECPKParameters_print , .Fn ECPKParameters_print_fp , .Fn ECParameters_print , .Fn ECParameters_print_fp , .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY , .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY , .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY_bio , .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY_bio , .Fn d2i_EC_PUBKEY_fp , and .Fn i2d_EC_PUBKEY_fp first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.8 and have been available since .Ox 4.5 .
