OpenSSL::PKey::EC

Class

OpenSSL::PKey::EC provides access to Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH).

Key exchange

ec1 = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate("prime256v1")
ec2 = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate("prime256v1")
# ec1 and ec2 have own private key respectively
shared_key1 = ec1.dh_compute_key(ec2.public_key)
shared_key2 = ec2.dh_compute_key(ec1.public_key)

p shared_key1 == shared_key2 #=> true

Outputs the EC key in PEM encoding. If cipher and pass_phrase are given they will be used to encrypt the key. cipher must be an OpenSSL::Cipher instance. Note that encryption will only be effective for a private key, public keys will always be encoded in plain text.

generate_key

An alias for generate_key!

key.generate_key! => self

ext/openssl/ossl_pkey_ec.c View on GitHub

Generates a new random private and public key.

See also the OpenSSL documentation for EC_KEY_generate_key()

Example

ec = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new("prime256v1")
p ec.private_key # => nil
ec.generate_key!

Returns the EC::Group that the key is associated with. Modifying the returned group does not affect key.

    if (EC_KEY_set_group(ec, group) != 1)
        ossl_raise(eECError, "EC_KEY_set_group");

    return group_v;
}

Sets the EC::Group for the key. The group structure is internally copied so modification to group after assigning to a key has no effect on the key.
