pub struct MPI { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A Multiprecision Integer.

Implementations§

Creates a new MPI.

This function takes care of removing leading zeros.

Creates new MPI encoding an uncompressed EC point.

Encodes the given point on a elliptic curve (see Section 6 of RFC 6637 for details). This is used to encode public keys and ciphertexts for the NIST curves (NistP256, NistP384, and NistP521).

Creates new MPI encoding a compressed EC point using native encoding.

Encodes the given point on a elliptic curve (see Section 13.2 of RFC4880bis for details). This is used to encode public keys and ciphertexts for the Bernstein curves (currently X25519).

Creates a new MPI representing zero.

Tests whether the MPI represents zero.

Returns the length of the MPI in bits.

Leading zero-bits are not included in the returned size.

Returns the value of this MPI.

Note that due to stripping of zero-bytes, the returned value may be shorter than expected.

Returns the value of this MPI zero-padded to the given length.

MPI-encoding strips leading zero-bytes. This function adds them back, if necessary. If the size exceeds to, an error is returned.

Decodes an EC point encoded as MPI.

Decodes the MPI into a point on an elliptic curve (see Section 6 of RFC 6637 and Section 13.2 of RFC4880bis for details). If the point is not compressed, the function returns (x, y). If it is compressed, y will be empty.

Errors

Returns Error::UnsupportedEllipticCurve if the curve is not supported, Error::MalformedMPI if the point is formatted incorrectly, Error::InvalidOperation if the given curve is operating on native octet strings.
