.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
EC_POINT_add adds the two points \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR and places the result in \fBr\fR. Similarly EC_POINT_dbl doubles the point \fBa\fR and places the
result in \fBr\fR. In both cases it is valid for \fBr\fR to be one of \fBa\fR or \fBb\fR.
.PP
EC_POINT_invert calculates the inverse of the supplied point \fBa\fR. The result is placed back in \fBa\fR.
.PP
The function EC_POINT_is_at_infinity tests whether the supplied point is at infinity or not.
.PP
EC_POINT_is_on_curve tests whether the supplied point is on the curve or not.
.PP
EC_POINT_cmp compares the two supplied points and tests whether or not they are equal.
.PP
The functions EC_POINT_make_affine and EC_POINTs_make_affine force the internal representation of the \s-1EC_POINT\s0(s) into the affine
coordinate system. In the case of EC_POINTs_make_affine the value \fBnum\fR provides the number of points in the array \fBpoints\fR to be
forced. These functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used.
Modern versions automatically perform this conversion when needed.
.PP
EC_POINT_mul calculates the value generator * \fBn\fR + \fBq\fR * \fBm\fR and stores the result in \fBr\fR.
The value \fBn\fR may be \s-1NULL\s0 in which case the result is just \fBq\fR * \fBm\fR (variable point multiplication). Alternatively, both \fBq\fR and \fBm\fR may be \s-1NULL,\s0 and \fBn\fR non-NULL, in which case the result is just generator * \fBn\fR (fixed point multiplication).
When performing a single fixed or variable point multiplication, the underlying implementation uses a constant time algorithm, when the input scalar (either \fBn\fR or \fBm\fR) is in the range [0, ec_group_order).
.PP
Although deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used,
EC_POINTs_mul calculates the value generator * \fBn\fR + \fBq[0]\fR * \fBm[0]\fR + ... + \fBq[num\-1]\fR * \fBm[num\-1]\fR. As for EC_POINT_mul the value \fBn\fR may be \s-1NULL\s0 or \fBnum\fR may be zero.
When performing a fixed point multiplication (\fBn\fR is non-NULL and \fBnum\fR is 0) or a variable point multiplication (\fBn\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 and \fBnum\fR is 1), the underlying implementation uses a constant time algorithm, when the input scalar (either \fBn\fR or \fBm[0]\fR) is in the range [0, ec_group_order).
Modern versions should instead use \fBEC_POINT_mul()\fR, combined (if needed) with \fBEC_POINT_add()\fR in such rare circumstances.
.PP
The function EC_GROUP_precompute_mult stores multiples of the generator for faster point multiplication, whilst
EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult tests whether precomputation has already been done. See \fBEC_GROUP_copy\fR\|(3) for information
about the generator. Precomputation functionality was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
Users of \fBEC_GROUP_precompute_mult()\fR and \fBEC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult()\fR should
switch to named curves which OpenSSL has hardcoded lookup tables for.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error: EC_POINT_add, EC_POINT_dbl, EC_POINT_invert, EC_POINT_make_affine,
EC_POINTs_make_affine, EC_POINTs_make_affine, EC_POINT_mul, EC_POINTs_mul and EC_GROUP_precompute_mult.
.PP
EC_POINT_is_at_infinity returns 1 if the point is at infinity, or 0 otherwise.
.PP
EC_POINT_is_on_curve returns 1 if the point is on the curve, 0 if not, or \-1 on error.
.PP
EC_POINT_cmp returns 1 if the points are not equal, 0 if they are, or \-1 on error.
.PP
EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult return 1 if a precomputation has been done, or 0 if not.
