A new point is +constructed by calling the function EC_POINT_new() and providing the +B object that the point relates to. + +EC_POINT_free() frees the memory associated with the B. +if B is NULL nothing is done. + +EC_POINT_clear_free() destroys any sensitive data held within the EC_POINT and +then frees its memory. If B is NULL nothing is done. + +EC_POINT_copy() copies the point B into B. Both B and B +must use the same B. + +EC_POINT_dup() creates a new B object and copies the content from +B to the newly created B object. + +EC_POINT_method_of() obtains the B associated with B. + +A valid point on a curve is the special point at infinity. A point is set to +be at infinity by calling EC_POINT_set_to_infinity(). + +The affine co-ordinates for a point describe a point in terms of its x and y +position. The functions EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp() and +EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m() set the B and B co-ordinates for +the point B

defined over the curve given in B. + +As well as the affine co-ordinates, a point can alternatively be described in +terms of its Jacobian projective co-ordinates (for Fp curves only). Jacobian +projective co-ordinates are expressed as three values x, y and z. Working in +this co-ordinate system provides more efficient point multiplication +operations. A mapping exists between Jacobian projective co-ordinates and +affine co-ordinates. A Jacobian projective co-ordinate (x, y, z) can be written +as an affine co-ordinate as (x/(z^2), y/(z^3)). Conversion to Jacobian +projective from affine co-ordinates is simple. The co-ordinate (x, y) is mapped +to (x, y, 1). To set or get the projective co-ordinates use +EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and +EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() respectively. + +Points can also be described in terms of their compressed co-ordinates. For a +point (x, y), for any given value for x such that the point is on the curve +there will only ever be two possible values for y. Therefore a point can be set +using the EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp() and +EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m() functions where B is the x +co-ordinate and B is a value 0 or 1 to identify which of the two +possible values for y should be used. + +In addition B can be converted to and from various external +representations. The octet form is the binary encoding of the B +structure (as defined in RFC5480 and used in certificates and TLS records): +only the content octets are present, the B tag and length are +not included. B form is the octet form interpreted as a big endian +integer converted to a B structure. Hexadecimal form is the octet +form converted to a NULL terminated character string where each character +is one of the printable values 0-9 or A-F (or a-f). + +The functions EC_POINT_point2oct(), EC_POINT_oct2point(), EC_POINT_point2bn(), +EC_POINT_bn2point(), EC_POINT_point2hex() and EC_POINT_hex2point() convert from +and to EC_POINTs for the formats: octet, BIGNUM and hexadecimal respectively. + +The function EC_POINT_point2oct() must be supplied with a buffer long enough to +store the octet form. The return value provides the number of octets stored. +Calling the function with a NULL buffer will not perform the conversion but +will still return the required buffer length. + +The function EC_POINT_point2buf() allocates a buffer of suitable length and +writes an EC_POINT to it in octet format. The allocated buffer is written to +B<*pbuf> and its length is returned. The caller must free up the allocated +buffer with a call to OPENSSL_free(). Since the allocated buffer value is +written to B<*pbuf> the B parameter B be B. + +The function EC_POINT_point2hex() will allocate sufficient memory to store the +hexadecimal string. It is the caller's responsibility to free this memory with +a subsequent call to OPENSSL_free(). + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +EC_POINT_new() and EC_POINT_dup() return the newly allocated EC_POINT or NULL +on error. + +The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error: EC_POINT_copy(), +EC_POINT_set_to_infinity(), EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp(), +EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp(), +EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp(), EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GFp(), +EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp(), +EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m(), EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m(), +EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m() and EC_POINT_oct2point(). + +EC_POINT_method_of returns the EC_METHOD associated with the supplied EC_POINT. + +EC_POINT_point2oct() and EC_POINT_point2buf() return the length of the required +buffer or 0 on error. + +EC_POINT_point2bn() returns the pointer to the BIGNUM supplied, or NULL on +error. + +EC_POINT_bn2point() returns the pointer to the EC_POINT supplied, or NULL on +error. + +EC_POINT_point2hex() returns a pointer to the hex string, or NULL on error. + +EC_POINT_hex2point() returns the pointer to the EC_POINT supplied, or NULL on +error. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L, L, +L, L, +L, L + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2013-2018 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
