24 The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
26 be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
27 version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
28 int EC_POINT_make_affine(const EC_GROUP *group, EC_POINT *point, BN_CTX *ctx);
30 int EC_POINTs_make_affine(const EC_GROUP *group, size_t num,
31 EC_POINT *points[], BN_CTX *ctx);

33 const EC_POINT *p[], const BIGNUM *m[], BN_CTX *ctx);

38 EC_POINT_add adds the two points a and b and places the result in r.
39 Similarly EC_POINT_dbl doubles the point a and places the result in r.
40 In both cases it is valid for r to be one of a or b.
41 EC_POINT_invert calculates the inverse of the supplied point a. The
43 result is placed back in a.
44 The function EC_POINT_is_at_infinity tests whether the supplied point
46 is at infinity or not.
47 EC_POINT_is_on_curve tests whether the supplied point is on the curve
49 or not.
50 EC_POINT_cmp compares the two supplied points and tests whether or not
52 they are equal.
53 The functions EC_POINT_make_affine and EC_POINTs_make_affine force the
55 internal representation of the EC_POINT(s) into the affine coordinate
56 system. In the case of EC_POINTs_make_affine the value num provides the
57 number of points in the array points to be forced. These functions were
58 deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used. Modern
59 versions automatically perform this conversion when needed.
60 EC_POINT_mul calculates the value generator * n + q * m and stores the
62 result in r. The value n may be NULL in which case the result is just
63 q * m (variable point multiplication). Alternatively, both q and m may
64 be NULL, and n non-NULL, in which case the result is just generator * n
65 (fixed point multiplication). When performing a single fixed or
66 variable point multiplication, the underlying implementation uses a
67 constant time algorithm, when the input scalar (either n or m) is in
68 the range [0, ec_group_order).
69 Although deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used,
71 EC_POINTs_mul calculates the value generator * n + q[0] * m[0] + ... +
72 q[num-1] * m[num-1]. As for EC_POINT_mul the value n may be NULL or num
73 may be zero. When performing a fixed point multiplication (n is non-
74 NULL and num is 0) or a variable point multiplication (n is NULL and
75 num is 1), the underlying implementation uses a constant time
76 algorithm, when the input scalar (either n or m[0]) is in the range [0,
77 ec_group_order). Modern versions should instead use EC_POINT_mul(),
78 combined (if needed) with EC_POINT_add() in such rare circumstances.
79 The function EC_GROUP_precompute_mult stores multiples of the generator
81 for faster point multiplication, whilst EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult
82 tests whether precomputation has already been done. See
83 EC_GROUP_copy(3) for information about the generator. Precomputation
84 functionality was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. Users of
85 EC_GROUP_precompute_mult() and EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult() should
86 switch to named curves which OpenSSL has hardcoded lookup tables for.

89 The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error:
90 EC_POINT_add, EC_POINT_dbl, EC_POINT_invert, EC_POINT_make_affine,
91 EC_POINTs_make_affine, EC_POINTs_make_affine, EC_POINT_mul,
92 EC_POINTs_mul and EC_GROUP_precompute_mult.
93 EC_POINT_is_at_infinity returns 1 if the point is at infinity, or 0
95 otherwise.
96 EC_POINT_is_on_curve returns 1 if the point is on the curve, 0 if not,
98 or -1 on error.
99 EC_POINT_cmp returns 1 if the points are not equal, 0 if they are, or
101 -1 on error.
102 EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult return 1 if a precomputation has been
104 done, or 0 if not.

111 EC_POINT_make_affine(), EC_POINTs_make_affine(), EC_POINTs_mul(),

113 deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
