function wc_ed448_export_private

int wc_ed448_export_private(
    ed448_key * key,
    byte * out,
    word32 * outLen
)

This function exports the key pair from an ed448_key structure. It stores the key pair in the buffer out, and sets the bytes written to this buffer in outLen.

Parameters:

key Pointer to an ed448_key structure from which to export the key pair.
out Pointer to the buffer in which to store the key pair.
outLen Pointer to a word32 object with the size available in out. Set with the number of bytes written to out after successfully exporting the key pair.

See:

wc_ed448_import_private
wc_ed448_export_private_only

Return:

0 Returned upon successfully exporting the key pair.
ECC_BAD_ARG_E Returned if any of the input values evaluate to NULL.
BUFFER_E Returned if the buffer provided is not large enough to store the key pair.

Example

ed448_key key;
wc_ed448_init(&key);

WC_RNG rng;
wc_InitRng(&rng);

wc_ed448_make_key(&rng, 57, &key); // initialize 57 byte Ed448 key

byte out[114]; // out needs to be a sufficient buffer size
word32 outLen = sizeof(out);
int key_size = wc_ed448_export_private(&key, out, &outLen);
if (key_size == BUFFER_E) {
    // Check size of out compared to outLen to see if function reset outLen
}

function wc_ed448_export_key

int wc_ed448_export_key(
    ed448_key * key,
    byte * priv,
    word32 * privSz,
    byte * pub,
    word32 * pubSz
)

This function exports the private and public key separately from an ed448_key structure. It stores the private key in the buffer priv, and sets the bytes written to this buffer in privSz. It stores the public key in the buffer pub, and sets the bytes written to this buffer in pubSz.

Parameters:

key Pointer to an ed448_key structure from which to export the key pair.
priv Pointer to the buffer in which to store the private key.
privSz Pointer to a word32 object with the size available in out. Set with the number of bytes written to out after successfully exporting the private key.
pub Pointer to the buffer in which to store the public key.
pubSz Pointer to a word32 object with the size available in out. Set with the number of bytes written to out after successfully exporting the public key.

See:

Return:

0 Returned upon successfully exporting the key pair.
ECC_BAD_ARG_E Returned if any of the input values evaluate to NULL.
BUFFER_E Returned if the buffer provided is not large enough to store the key pair.

Example

int ret;
ed448_key key;
// initialize key, make key

char pub[57];
word32 pubSz = sizeof(pub);
char priv[57];
word32 privSz = sizeof(priv);

ret = wc_ed448_export_key(&key, priv, &pubSz, pub, &pubSz);
if (ret != 0) {
    // error exporting private and public key
}

function wc_ed448_check_key

int wc_ed448_check_key(
    ed448_key * key
)

This function checks the public key in ed448_key structure matches the private key.

Parameters:

key Pointer to an ed448_key structure holding a private and public key.

See:

Return:

0 Returned if the private and public key matched.
BAD_FUNC_ARGS Returned if the given key is NULL.

Example

int ret;
byte priv[] = { initialize with 57 byte private key };
byte pub[]  = { initialize with the corresponding public key };

ed448_key key;
wc_ed448_init_key(&key);
wc_ed448_import_private_key_ex(priv, sizeof(priv), pub, sizeof(pub), &key,
    1);
ret = wc_ed448_check_key(&key);
if (ret != 0) {
    // error checking key
}

function wc_ed448_size

int wc_ed448_size(
    ed448_key * key
)

This function returns the size of an Ed448 private key - 57 bytes.

Parameters:

key Pointer to an ed448_key structure for which to get the key size.

See: wc_ed448_make_key

Return:

ED448_KEY_SIZE The size of a valid private key (57 bytes).
BAD_FUNC_ARGS Returned if the given key is NULL.

Example

int keySz;
ed448_key key;
// initialize key, make key
keySz = wc_ed448_size(&key);
if (keySz == 0) {
    // error determining key size
}

function wc_ed448_priv_size

int wc_ed448_priv_size(
    ed448_key * key
)

This function returns the private key size (secret + public) in bytes.

Parameters:

key Pointer to an ed448_key structure for which to get the key size.

See: wc_ed448_pub_size

Return:

ED448_PRV_KEY_SIZE The size of the private key (114 bytes).
BAD_FUNC_ARG Returns if key argument is NULL.

Example

ed448_key key;
wc_ed448_init(&key);

WC_RNG rng;
wc_InitRng(&rng);

wc_ed448_make_key(&rng, 57, &key); // initialize 57 byte Ed448 key
int key_size = wc_ed448_priv_size(&key);

function wc_ed448_pub_size
