43.3.6.8 Affine to Projective Coordinates Conversion

This service is used to perform a point coordinates conversion from an affine point representation to projective.

The operation performed is:

affine(Xa, Ya) → projective(Xp, Yp, Zp)

In this computation, the following parameters need to be provided:

• A the input point is filled in affine coordinates for X and Y, and setting Z to 1 (pointed by {nu1PointABase,3*u2ModLength + 4}).
• Cns the Fast Modular Constant filled (pointed by {nu1CnsBase,u2ModLength +8})
• P the modulus filled (pointed by {nu1ModBase,u2ModLength +4})
• The workspace not initialized (pointed by {nu1WorkSpace, 2*u2ModLength +16}

The result is the point A with its (X,Y,Z) projective coordinates.

The service for this operation is ZpEcConvAffineToProjective

PUKCL_PARAM PUKCLParam;
PPUKCL_PARAM pvPUKCLParam = &PUKCLParam;


PUKCL (u2Option) = 0;

PUKCL _ZpEcConvAffineToProjective(nu1ModBase) = <Base of the ram location of P>; 
PUKCL _ZpEcConvAffineToProjective(u2ModLength) = <Byte length of P>;
PUKCL _ZpEcConvAffineToProjective(nu1CnsBase) = <Base of the ram location of Cns>; 
PUKCL _ZpEcConvAffineToProjective(nu1PointABase) = <Base of the ram location of the A point>; 
PUKCL _ZpEcConvAffineToProjective(nu1Workspace) = <Base of the ram location of the workspace>;
...

// vPUKCL_Process() is a macro command, which populates the service name
// and then calls the library...
vPUKCL_Process(ZpEcConvAffineToProjective,&PUKCLParam); 
if (PUKCL (u2Status) == PUKCL_OK)
            {
            ...
            }
else // Manage the error

No overlapping between either input and output are allowed. The following conditions must be avoided to ensure that the service works correctly:

• nu1ModBase, nu1CnsBase, nu1PointABase, nu1Workspace are not aligned on 32-bit boundaries
• {nu1ModBase, u2ModLength + 4}, {nu1CnsBase, u2ModLength + 8}, {nu1PointABase, 3*u2ModLength+ 12}, {nu1Workspace, <WorkspaceLength>} are not in Crypto RAM
• u2ModLength is either: < 12, > 0xffc or not a 32-bit length
• All overlapping between {nu1ModBase, u2ModLength + 4}, {nu1CnsBase, u2ModLength +8}, {nu1PointABase, 3*u2ModLength + 12}, and {nu1Workspace, 2*u2ModLength + 16}
