DESCRIPTION
EC_POINT_add adds the two points a and b and places the result in r. Similarly EC_POINT_dbl doubles the
point a and places the result in r. In both cases it is valid for r to be one of a or b.
EC_POINT_invert calculates the inverse of the supplied point a. The result is placed back in a.
The function EC_POINT_is_at_infinity tests whether the supplied point is at infinity or not.
EC_POINT_is_on_curve tests whether the supplied point is on the curve or not.
EC_POINT_cmp compares the two supplied points and tests whether or not they are equal.
The functions EC_POINT_make_affine and EC_POINTs_make_affine force the internal representation of the
EC_POINT(s) into the affine co-ordinate system. In the case of EC_POINTs_make_affine the value num
provides the number of points in the array points to be forced.
EC_POINT_mul is a convenient interface to EC_POINTs_mul: it calculates the value generator * n + q * m
and stores the result in r. The value n may be NULL in which case the result is just q * m (variable
point multiplication). Alternatively, both q and m may be NULL, and n non-NULL, in which case the result
is just generator * n (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 n or m) is in the range [0, ec_group_order).
EC_POINTs_mul calculates the value generator * n + q[0] * m[0] + ... + q[num-1] * m[num-1]. As for
EC_POINT_mul the value n may be NULL or num may be zero. When performing a fixed point multiplication (n
is non-NULL and num is 0) or a variable point multiplication (n is NULL and num is 1), the underlying
implementation uses a constant time algorithm, when the input scalar (either n or m[0]) is in the range
[0, ec_group_order).
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
EC_GROUP_copy(3) for information about the generator.
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.
EC_POINT_is_at_infinity returns 1 if the point is at infinity, or 0 otherwise.
EC_POINT_is_on_curve returns 1 if the point is on the curve, 0 if not, or -1 on error.
EC_POINT_cmp returns 1 if the points are not equal, 0 if they are, or -1 on error.
EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult return 1 if a precomputation has been done, or 0 if not.
