Function Documentation

◆ sl_se_ecdh_compute_shared_secret()

sl_status_t sl_se_ecdh_compute_shared_secret ( sl_se_command_context_t cmd_ctx,
const sl_se_key_descriptor_t key_in_priv,
const sl_se_key_descriptor_t key_in_pub,
const sl_se_key_descriptor_t key_out 
)

This function computes the shared secret with Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) algorithm.

Performs Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman shared secret computation.

Note
P-521 Elliptic Curve based Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) expects a 544 bits (68 bytes) buffer for storing private keys, and a 1088 bits (136 bytes) buffer for storing public keys and shared secret. The first 23 bits of d, Qx, Qy and shared secret are padding bits to comply word-aligned addressing. The padding bits are ignored in the computation.

This function does not implement the value-checking of the shared secret as described in RFC7748 when using Montgomery keys.

In case of using custom domain curves, key_in_priv defines the domain parameters. Moreover, key_in_pub should always contain a public key. If key_in_pub contains a private key, sl_se_export_public_key() can be used to export the public key.

Parameters
[in]cmd_ctxPointer to an SE command context object.
[in]key_in_privOur private key.
[in]key_in_pubTheir public key.
[out]key_outShared secret key. Montgomery curve result is one single coordinate. Other curve types result in one pair of coordinate.
Returns
SL_STATUS_INVALID_KEY if key_in_pub does not contain a public key when using custom domain curves, otherwise an appropriate error code (sl_status.h).

◆ sl_se_ecjpake_check()

Parameters
