DESCRIPTION
ES384 is the name given in the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE)
RFC to ECDSA over P-384 with SHA-384. The COSE ES384 API of libfido2 is
an auxiliary API with routines to convert between the different ECDSA
public key types used in libfido2 and OpenSSL.
In libfido2, ES384 public keys are abstracted by the es384_pk_t type.
The es384_pk_new() function returns a pointer to a newly allocated,
empty es384_pk_t type. If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.
The es384_pk_free() function releases the memory backing *pkp, where
*pkp must have been previously allocated by es384_pk_new(). On return,
*pkp is set to NULL. Either pkp or *pkp may be NULL, in which case
es384_pk_free() is a NOP.
The es384_pk_from_EC_KEY() function fills pk with the contents of ec.
No references to ec are kept.
The es384_pk_from_EVP_PKEY() function fills pk with the contents of
pkey. No references to pkey are kept.
The es384_pk_from_ptr() function fills pk with the contents of ptr,
where ptr points to len bytes. The ptr pointer may point to an uncom-
pressed point, or to the concatenation of the x and y coordinates. No
references to ptr are kept.
The es384_pk_to_EVP_PKEY() function converts pk to a newly allocated
EVP_PKEY type with a reference count of 1. No internal references to
the returned pointer are kept. If an error occurs,
es384_pk_to_EVP_PKEY() returns NULL.
RETURN VALUES
The es384_pk_from_EC_KEY(), es384_pk_from_EVP_PKEY(), and
es384_pk_from_ptr() functions return FIDO_OK on success. On error, a
different error code defined in <fido/err.h> is returned.
