An EC_KEY_METHOD object holds function pointers used for EC_KEY operations.

() creates a shallow copy of meth, or an empty EC_KEY_METHOD object if meth is NULL.

() frees meth. If meth is NULL or the return value of (), no action occurs.

() and EC_KEY_METHOD_get_init() set and retrieve optional callback functions called at the following places:

init
at the end of () and EC_KEY_set_method()
finish
at the beginning of EC_KEY_free(3), EC_KEY_copy(3), and EC_KEY_set_method()
copy
at the end of EC_KEY_copy(3)
set_group
at the end of EC_KEY_set_group(3) and EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name(3)
set_private
at the beginning of EC_KEY_set_private_key(3)
set_public
at the beginning of EC_KEY_set_public_key(3)

If any of these callbacks returns 0, the calling function fails. By default, all these callbacks are NULL. Arguments of () can be set to NULL to selectively retrieve callback function pointers.

() and () set and retrieve the functions implementing ECDSA_sign_ex(3), ECDSA_sign_setup(3), and ECDSA_do_sign_ex(3).

() and () set and retrieve the functions implementing ECDSA_verify(3) and ECDSA_do_verify(3).

() and () set and retrieve the function implementing EC_KEY_generate_key(3).

() and () set and retrieve the function implementing ECDH_compute_key(3).

() chooses the meth to be used for the creation of new EC_KEY objects by future invocations of EC_KEY_new_method(), or reverts to the default implementation if meth is NULL.

() creates and initializes a new EC_KEY object using the given engine, or the using the EC_KEY_METHOD set with EC_KEY_set_default_method() if engine is NULL, or using the default EC_KEY implementation by default.

() dissociates the key from the ENGINE it is using, if any, and causes it to use meth in the future.

EC_KEY_METHOD_new() returns the newly allocated EC_KEY_METHOD object or NULL if an error occurs.

EC_KEY_OpenSSL() returns a static object representing the default EC_KEY implementation.

EC_KEY_get_default_method() returns the EC_KEY_METHOD that EC_KEY_new_method() will use for the creation of new EC_KEY objects in the future.

EC_KEY_new_method() returns the newly allocated EC_KEY object or NULL if an error occurs.

EC_KEY_set_method() returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.

EC_KEY_get_method() returns the EC_KEY implementation used by the given key.

These functions first appeared in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and have been available since OpenBSD 6.5.
