ECCBInit

Initializes context for the elliptic curve cryptosystem over GF(2m).

Syntax

IppStatus ippsECCBInit(int feBitSize, IppsECCBState* pECC);

Parameters

feBitSize

Size (in bits) of a field element.

pECC

Pointer to the cryptosystem context.

Description

This function is declared in the ippcp.h file.

The function initializes the context of the elliptic curve cryptosystem over a binary finite field GF (2m).

Context is a structure IppsECCBState designed to store information about the cryptosystem status.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.

ippStsNullPtrErr

Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL.

ippStsSizeErr

Indicates an error condition if the value of the parameter feBitSize is less than 1.
