The functions described here all return a const pointer to an -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. - -For F2^m curves there is only one implementation choice, i.e. EC_GF2_simple_method. - -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 L). 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 L). - -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. - -EC_METHOD_get_field_type identifies what type of field the EC_METHOD structure supports, which will be either -F2^m or Fp. If the field type is Fp then the value B is returned. If the field type is -F2^m then the value B is returned. These values are defined in the -obj_mac.h header file. - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -All EC_GFp* functions and EC_GF2m_simple_method always return a const pointer to an EC_METHOD structure. - -EC_METHOD_get_field_type returns an integer that identifies the type of field the EC_METHOD structure supports. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L, L, L, L, -L, L, L, -L, -L - -=cut -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
