Move compression, point2oct and oct2point functions into separate files.
Add a flags field to EC_METHOD.
Add a flag EC_FLAGS_DEFAULT_OCT to use the default compession and oct
functions (all existing methods do this). This removes dependencies from
EC_METHOD while keeping original functionality.
seed to: this doesn't introduce any binary compatibility issues as the
function is only used internally.
The seed output is needed for FIPS 140-2 algorithm testing: the functionality
used to be in DSA_generate_parameters_ex() but was removed in OpenSSL 1.0.0
- hide the EC_KEY structure definition in ec_lcl.c + add
some functions to use/access the EC_KEY fields
- change the way how method specific data (ecdsa/ecdh) is
attached to a EC_KEY
- add ECDSA_sign_ex and ECDSA_do_sign_ex functions with
additional parameters for pre-computed values
- rebuild libeay.num from 0.9.7
Additional changes:
- use EC_GROUP_get_degree() in apps/req.c
- add ECDSA and ECDH to apps/speed.c
- adds support for EC curves over binary fields to ECDSA
- new function EC_KEY_up_ref() in crypto/ec/ec_key.c
- reorganize crypto/ecdsa/ecdsatest.c
- add engine support for ECDH
- fix a few bugs in ECDSA engine support
