Detailed Description

Ed25519 private key.

ed25519PrivateKey is somewhat of a hack. It needed to provide DL_PrivateKey interface to fit into the existing framework, but it lacks a lot of the internals of a true DL_PrivateKey. The missing pieces include GroupParameters and Point, which provide the low level field operations found in traditional implementations like NIST curves over prime and binary fields.

ed25519PrivateKey is also unusual because the class members of interest are byte arrays and not Integers. In addition, the byte arrays are little-endian meaning LSB is at element 0 and the MSB is at element 31. If you call GetPrivateExponent() then the little-endian byte array is converted to a big-endian Integer() so it can be returned the way a caller expects. And calling SetPrivateExponent performs a similar internal conversion.

Since
Crypto++ 8.0

Member Function Documentation

◆ Validate()

bool ed25519PrivateKey::Validate ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
unsigned int  level 
) const
virtual

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.

Implements CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 390 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ GetVoidValue()

bool ed25519PrivateKey::GetVoidValue ( const char *  name,
const std::type_info &  valueType,
void *  pValue 
) const
virtual

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.

Implements NameValuePairs.

Definition at line 410 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ AssignFrom()

void ed25519PrivateKey::AssignFrom ( const NameValuePairs source)
virtual

Assign values to this object.

This function can be used to create a public key from a private key.

Implements CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 439 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ GetAlgorithmID()

OID ed25519PrivateKey::GetAlgorithmID ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Retrieves the OID of the algorithm.

Returns
OID of the algorithm

Implements PKCS8PrivateKey.

Definition at line 377 of file xed25519.h.

◆ Save() [1/2]

void ed25519PrivateKey::Save ( BufferedTransformation bt) const
inlinevirtual

DER encode ASN.1 object.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object

Save() will write the OID associated with algorithm or scheme. In the case of public and private keys, this function writes the subjectPublicKeyInfo parts.

The default OID is from RFC 8410 using id-Ed25519. The default private key format is RFC 5208, which is the old format. The old format provides the best interop, and keys will work with OpenSSL.

See also
RFC 5958, Asymmetric Key Packages

Reimplemented from CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 392 of file xed25519.h.

◆ Save() [2/2]

void ed25519PrivateKey::Save ( BufferedTransformation bt,
bool  v1 
) const
inline

DER encode ASN.1 object.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object
v1flag indicating v1

Save() will write the OID associated with algorithm or scheme. In the case of public and private keys, this function writes the subjectPublicKeyInfo parts.

The default OID is from RFC 8410 using id-Ed25519. The default private key format is RFC 5208.

v1 means INTEGER 0 is written. INTEGER 0 means RFC 5208 format, which is the old format. The old format provides the best interop, and keys will work with OpenSSL. The other option uses INTEGER 1. INTEGER 1 means RFC 5958 format, which is the new format.

◆ Load()

void ed25519PrivateKey::Load ( BufferedTransformation bt)

◆ DEREncode() [1/2]

void ed25519PrivateKey::DEREncode ( BufferedTransformation bt) const
inlinevirtual

Encode this object into a BufferedTransformation.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object

Uses Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER)

Reimplemented from PKCS8PrivateKey.

Definition at line 429 of file xed25519.h.

size_t  size 
)
virtual

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object
parametersPresentflag indicating if algorithm parameters are present
sizenumber of octets to read for the parameters, in bytes

BERDecodePrivateKey() the decodes privateKey part of privateKeyInfo, without the OCTET STRING header.

When parametersPresent = true then BERDecodePrivateKey() calls BERDecodeAlgorithmParameters() to parse algorithm parameters.

BERDecodeAlgorithmParameters

Implements PKCS8PrivateKey.

Definition at line 570 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ DEREncodePrivateKey()

void ed25519PrivateKey::DEREncodePrivateKey ( BufferedTransformation bt) const
virtual

Encode privateKey part of privateKeyInfo.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object

DEREncodePrivateKey() encodes the privateKey part of privateKeyInfo, without the OCTET STRING header.

See also
DEREncodeAlgorithmParameters

Implements PKCS8PrivateKey.

Definition at line 591 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ DEREncode() [2/2]

void ed25519PrivateKey::DEREncode ( BufferedTransformation bt,
int  version 
) const

DER encode ASN.1 object.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object
versionindicates version

DEREncode() will write the OID associated with algorithm or scheme. In the case of public and private keys, this function writes the subjectPublicKeyInfo parts.

The default OID is from RFC 8410 using id-X25519. The default private key format is RFC 5208.

The value of version is written as the INTEGER. INTEGER 0 means RFC 5208 format, which is the old format. The old format provides the best interop, and keys will work with OpenSSL. The INTEGER 1 means RFC 5958 format, which is the new format.

Definition at line 543 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID()

void ed25519PrivateKey::BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID ( BufferedTransformation bt)

Determine if OID is valid for this object.

BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID() parses the OID from bt and determines if it valid for this object. The problem in practice is there are multiple OIDs available to denote curve25519 operations. The OIDs include an old GNU OID used by SSH, OIDs specified in draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves, and OIDs specified in draft-ietf-curdle-pkix.

By default BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID() accepts an OID set by the user, ASN1::curve25519() and ASN1::Ed25519(). ASN1::curve25519() is generic and says "this key is valid for curve25519 operations". ASN1::Ed25519() is specific and says "this key is valid for ed25519 signing."

Definition at line 484 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ GenerateRandom()

void ed25519PrivateKey::GenerateRandom ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
const NameValuePairs params = g_nullNameValuePairs 
)
virtual

Generate a random key or crypto parameters.

Parameters
rnga RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
paramsadditional initialization parameters
Exceptions
KeyingErrif a key can't be generated or algorithm parameters are invalid

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