Detailed Description

Ed25519 public key.

ed25519PublicKey is somewhat of a hack. It needed to provide DL_PublicKey interface to fit into the existing framework, but it lacks a lot of the internals of a true DL_PublicKey. 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.

ed25519PublicKey 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 GetPublicElement() 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 SetPublicElement() performs a similar internal conversion.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetAlgorithmID()

OID ed25519PublicKey::GetAlgorithmID ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Retrieves the OID of the algorithm.

Returns
OID of the algorithm

Implements X509PublicKey.

Definition at line 643 of file xed25519.h.

◆ Save()

void ed25519PublicKey::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-X25519. 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.

Reimplemented from CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 656 of file xed25519.h.

◆ Load()

void ed25519PublicKey::Load ( BufferedTransformation bt)
inlinevirtual

BER decode ASN.1 object.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object
See also
RFC 5958, Asymmetric Key Packages

Reimplemented from CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 664 of file xed25519.h.

◆ BERDecode()

void ed25519PublicKey::BERDecode ( BufferedTransformation bt)
virtual

Decode this object from a BufferedTransformation.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object

Uses Basic Encoding Rules (BER)

Reimplemented from X509PublicKey.

Definition at line 764 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ DEREncode()

void ed25519PublicKey::DEREncode ( BufferedTransformation bt) const
virtual

Encode this object into a BufferedTransformation.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object

Uses Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER)

Reimplemented from X509PublicKey.

Definition at line 778 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ BERDecodePublicKey()

void ed25519PublicKey::BERDecodePublicKey ( BufferedTransformation bt,
bool  parametersPresent,
size_t  size 
)
virtual

Decode subjectPublicKey part of subjectPublicKeyInfo.

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

BERDecodePublicKey() the decodes subjectPublicKey part of subjectPublicKeyInfo, without the BIT STRING header.

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

BERDecodeAlgorithmParameters

Implements X509PublicKey.

Definition at line 791 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ DEREncodePublicKey()

void ed25519PublicKey::DEREncodePublicKey ( BufferedTransformation bt) const
virtual

Encode subjectPublicKey part of subjectPublicKeyInfo.

Parameters
btBufferedTransformation object

DEREncodePublicKey() encodes the subjectPublicKey part of subjectPublicKeyInfo, without the BIT STRING header.

See also
DEREncodeAlgorithmParameters

Implements X509PublicKey.

Definition at line 809 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ BERDecodeAndCheckAlgorithmID()

void ed25519PublicKey::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 749 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ Validate()

bool ed25519PublicKey::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.

ThrowIfInvalid()

Implements CryptoMaterial.

Definition at line 835 of file xed25519.cpp.

◆ GetVoidValue()

bool ed25519PublicKey::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 712 of file xed25519.cpp.
