<p>The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining <b>OPENSSL_API_COMPAT</b> with a suitable version value, see <a href="../man7/openssl_user_macros.html">openssl_user_macros(7)</a>:</p>

|
|

|
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>All const EC_METHOD *EC_GF* functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0, since EC_METHOD is no longer a public concept.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Elliptic Curve library provides a number of different implementations through a single common interface. When constructing a curve using EC_GROUP_new (see <a href="../man3/EC_GROUP_new.html">EC_GROUP_new(3)</a>) an implementation method must be provided. The functions described here all return a const pointer to an <b>EC_METHOD</b> structure that can be passed to EC_GROUP_NEW. It is important that the correct implementation type for the form of curve selected is used.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For F2^m curves there is only one implementation choice, i.e. EC_GF2_simple_method.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For Fp curves the lowest common denominator implementation is the EC_GFp_simple_method implementation. All other implementations are based on this one. EC_GFp_mont_method builds on EC_GFp_simple_method but adds the use of montgomery multiplication (see <a href="../man3/BN_mod_mul_montgomery.html">BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)</a>). EC_GFp_nist_method offers an implementation optimised for use with NIST recommended curves (NIST curves are available through EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name as described in <a href="../man3/EC_GROUP_new.html">EC_GROUP_new(3)</a>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The functions EC_GFp_nistp224_method, EC_GFp_nistp256_method and EC_GFp_nistp521_method offer 64 bit optimised implementations for the NIST P224, P256 and P521 curves respectively. Note, however, that these implementations are not available on all platforms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EC_METHOD_get_field_type() was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. Applications should use EC_GROUP_get_field_type() as a replacement (see <a href="../man3/EC_GROUP_copy.html">EC_GROUP_copy(3)</a>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>All EC_GFp* functions and EC_GF2m_simple_method always return a const pointer to an EC_METHOD structure.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EC_METHOD_get_field_type returns an integer that identifies the type of field the EC_METHOD structure supports.</p>
