Expand description

Elliptic curves used in OpenPGP.

PublicKeyAlgorithm does not differentiate between elliptic curves. Instead, the curve is specified using an OID prepended to the key material. We provide this type to be able to match on the curves.

Note: This enum cannot be exhaustively matched to allow future extensions.

Variants§

§

NistP256

NIST curve P-256.

§

NistP384

NIST curve P-384.

§

NistP521

NIST curve P-521.

§

BrainpoolP256

brainpoolP256r1.

§

BrainpoolP512

brainpoolP512r1.

§

Ed25519

D.J. Bernstein’s “Twisted” Edwards curve Ed25519.

§

Cv25519

Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman using D.J. Bernstein’s Curve25519.

§

Unknown(Box<[u8]>)

Unknown curve.

Implementations§

Returns the length of public keys over this curve in bits.

For the Kobliz curves this is the size of the underlying finite field. For X25519 it is 256.

Note: This information is useless and should not be used to gauge the security of a particular curve. This function exists only because some legacy PGP application like HKP need it.

Returns None for unknown curves.

Examples
use sequoia_openpgp as openpgp;
use openpgp::types::Curve;

assert_eq!(Curve::NistP256.bits(), Some(256));
assert_eq!(Curve::NistP384.bits(), Some(384));
assert_eq!(Curve::Ed25519.bits(), Some(256));
assert_eq!(Curve::Unknown(Box::new([0x2B, 0x11])).bits(), None);

Returns the curve’s field size in bytes.

Examples
use sequoia_openpgp as openpgp;
use openpgp::types::Curve;

assert_eq!(Curve::NistP256.field_size()?, 32);
assert_eq!(Curve::NistP384.field_size()?, 48);
assert_eq!(Curve::NistP521.field_size()?, 66);
assert_eq!(Curve::Ed25519.field_size()?, 32);
assert!(Curve::Unknown(Box::new([0x2B, 0x11])).field_size().is_err());

Parses the given OID.

Examples
use sequoia_openpgp as openpgp;
use openpgp::types::Curve;

assert_eq!(Curve::from_oid(&[0x2B, 0x81, 0x04, 0x00, 0x22]), Curve::NistP384);
assert_eq!(Curve::from_oid(&[0x2B, 0x11]), Curve::Unknown(Box::new([0x2B, 0x11])));

Returns this curve’s OID.

Examples
use sequoia_openpgp as openpgp;
use openpgp::types::Curve;

assert_eq!(Curve::NistP384.oid(), &[0x2B, 0x81, 0x04, 0x00, 0x22]);
assert_eq!(Curve::Unknown(Box::new([0x2B, 0x11])).oid(), &[0x2B, 0x11]);

Returns the length of a coordinate in bits.

Examples
use sequoia_openpgp as openpgp;
use openpgp::types::Curve;

assert!(if let Ok(256) = Curve::NistP256.len() { true } else { false });
assert!(if let Ok(384) = Curve::NistP384.len() { true } else { false });
assert!(if let Ok(256) = Curve::Ed25519.len() { true } else { false });
assert!(if let Err(_) = Curve::Unknown(Box::new([0x2B, 0x11])).len() { true } else { false });
Errors

Returns Error::UnsupportedEllipticCurve if the curve is not supported.

Returns whether this algorithm is supported.

Examples
use sequoia_openpgp as openpgp;
use openpgp::types::Curve;

assert!(Curve::Ed25519.is_supported());
assert!(!Curve::Unknown(Box::new([0x2B, 0x11])).is_supported());

Formats the elliptic curve name.

There are two ways the elliptic curve name can be formatted. By default the short name is used. The alternate format uses the full curve name.

Examples

use sequoia_openpgp as openpgp;
use openpgp::types::Curve;

// default, short format
assert_eq!("NIST P-256", format!("{}", Curve::NistP256));

// alternate, long format
assert_eq!("NIST curve P-256", format!("{:#}", Curve::NistP256));
