NAME

6       EC_KEY_get_enc_flags, EC_KEY_set_enc_flags - Get and set flags for
7       encoding EC_KEY structures
8

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <openssl/ec.h>
11
12        unsigned int EC_KEY_get_enc_flags(const EC_KEY *key);
13        void EC_KEY_set_enc_flags(EC_KEY *eckey, unsigned int flags);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The format of the external representation of the public key written by
17       i2d_ECPrivateKey() (such as whether it is stored in a compressed form
18       or not) is described by the point_conversion_form. See EC_GROUP_copy(3)
19       for a description of point_conversion_form.
20
21       When reading a private key encoded without an associated public key
22       (e.g. if EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY has been used - see below), then
23       d2i_ECPrivateKey() generates the missing public key automatically.
24       Private keys encoded without parameters (e.g. if EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS
25       has been used - see below) cannot be loaded using d2i_ECPrivateKey().
26
27       The functions EC_KEY_get_enc_flags() and EC_KEY_set_enc_flags() get and
28       set the value of the encoding flags for the key. There are two encoding
29       flags currently defined - EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS and EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY.
30       These flags define the behaviour of how the  key is converted into ASN1
31       in a call to i2d_ECPrivateKey(). If EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS is set then
32       the public parameters for the curve are not encoded along with the
33       private key. If EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY is set then the public key is not
34       encoded along with the private key.
35

RETURN VALUES

37       EC_KEY_get_enc_flags() returns the value of the current encoding flags
38       for the EC_KEY.
