Member Function Documentation

◆ Validate()

template<class T >
bool DL_GroupParameters< T >::Validate ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
unsigned int  level 
) const
inlinevirtual

Check this object for errors.

Parameters
rnga RandomNumberGenerator for objects which use randomized testing
levelthe level of thoroughness
Returns
true if the tests succeed, false otherwise

There are four levels of thoroughness:

  • 0 - using this object won't cause a crash or exception
  • 1 - this object will probably function, and encrypt, sign, other operations correctly
  • 2 - ensure this object will function correctly, and perform reasonable security checks
  • 3 - perform reasonable security checks, and do checks that may take a long time

Level 0 does not require a RandomNumberGenerator. A NullRNG() can be used for level 0. Level 1 may not check for weak keys and such. Levels 2 and 3 are recommended.

◆ GetVoidValue()

template<class T >
bool DL_GroupParameters< T >::GetVoidValue ( const char *  name,
const std::type_info &  valueType,
void *  pValue 
) const
inlinevirtual

Get a named value.

Parameters
namethe name of the object or value to retrieve
valueTypereference to a variable that receives the value
pValuevoid pointer to a variable that receives the value
Returns
true if the value was retrieved, false otherwise

GetVoidValue() retrieves the value of name if it exists.

Note
GetVoidValue() is an internal function and should be implemented by derived classes. Users should use one of the other functions instead.

◆ SupportsPrecomputation()

template<class T >
bool DL_GroupParameters< T >::SupportsPrecomputation ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Determines whether the object supports precomputation.

Returns
true if the object supports precomputation, false otherwise
See also
Precompute()

Reimplemented from CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 822 of file pubkey.h.

◆ Precompute()

void DL_GroupParameters< T >::Precompute ( unsigned int  precomputationStorage = 16)
inlinevirtual

Perform precomputation.

Parameters
precomputationStoragethe suggested number of objects for the precompute table

The exact semantics of Precompute() varies, but it typically means calculate a table of n objects that can be used later to speed up computation.

If a derived class does not override Precompute(), then the base class throws NotImplemented.
