[openssl-dev] Behavior of OpenSSL EC API regarding point setting

2015-12-15 Thread Hanno Böck
Hi, I experienced some features of the OpenSSL API regarding elliptic curves that I find quite unusual and I want to ask whether that's intended. It's regarding these functions to set curve coordinates: EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp It is possible
