43.3.6.10 Point is on Elliptic Curve
Purpose
This service is used to test whether or not the point is on the curve.
How to Use the Service
Description
The operation performed is:
Status = IsPointOnCurve(X, Y, Z)
In this computation, the following parameters need to be provided:
- The input point is filled in projective coordinates (X,Y,Z) (pointed by {nu1PointBase,3*u2ModLength + 4}). This Point can be the point at infinity.
- AParam and BParam are the Elliptic Curve Equation parameters. (pointed by{nu1AParam, u2ModLength+4} and {nu1BParam, 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, 4*u2ModLength +28}.
The result is the status of the point (X,Y,Z) regarding the Elliptic Curve Equation.
The service name for this operation is
ZpEcPointIsOnCurve
.

Code Example
PUKCL_PARAM PUKCLParam;
PPUKCL_PARAM pvPUKCLParam = &PUKCLParam;
PUKCL (u2Option) = 0;
PUKCL _ZpEcPointIsOnCurve(nu1ModBase) = <Base of the ram location of P>;
PUKCL _ZpEcPointIsOnCurve(u2ModLength) = <Byte length of P>;
PUKCL _ZpEcPointIsOnCurve(nu1CnsBase) = <Base of the ram location of Cns>;
PUKCL _ZpEcPointIsOnCurve(nu1AParam) = <Base of the ram location of the parameter a>;
PUKCL _ZpEcPointIsOnCurve(nu1BParam) = <Base of the ram location of the parameter b>;
PUKCL _ZpEcPointIsOnCurve(nu1PointBase) = <Base of the ram location of the point>;
PUKCL _ZpEcPointIsOnCurve(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(ZpEcPointIsOnCurve,&PUKCLParam);
if (PUKCL (u2Status) == PUKCL_OK)
{
...
}
else // Manage the error
Constraints
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, nu1AParam, nu1BParam, nu1Workspace are not aligned on 32-bit boundaries
- {nu1ModBase, u2ModLength+4}, {nu1CnsBase, u2ModLength+8}, {nu1PointABase, 3*u2ModLength +12}, {nu1AParam, u2ModLength + 4}, {nu1BParam, u2ModLength + 4}, {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}, {nu1AParam, u2ModLength+4}, {nu1AParam, u2ModLength + 4} and {nu1Workspace, 4*u2ModLength+28}.
Status Returned Values
Returned Status | Importance | Meaning |
---|---|---|
PUKCL_OK | – | The point is on the curve. |
PUKCL_POINT_IS_NOT_ON_ CURVE | Warning | The point is not on the curve. |
PUKCL_POINT_AT_INFINITY | Warning | The input point has its Z equal to zero, so it’s a representation of the infinite point. |
