Member Function Documentation

◆ algo_name()

virtual std::string Botan::Asymmetric_Key::algo_name ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the name of the underlying public key scheme.

Returns: name of the public key scheme

Implemented in Botan::DH_PublicKey, Botan::Dilithium_PublicKey, Botan::DSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECDH_PublicKey, Botan::ECDSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECGDSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECKCDSA_PublicKey, Botan::Ed25519_PublicKey, Botan::Ed448_PublicKey, Botan::ElGamal_PublicKey, Botan::FrodoKEM_PublicKey, Botan::GOST_3410_PublicKey, Botan::HSS_LMS_PublicKey, Botan::Kyber_PublicKey, Botan::McEliece_PublicKey, Botan::RSA_PublicKey, Botan::SM2_PublicKey, Botan::SphincsPlus_PublicKey, Botan::TLS::Hybrid_KEM_PublicKey, Botan::TLS::KEX_to_KEM_Adapter_PublicKey, Botan::TPM2::EC_PrivateKey, Botan::TPM2::EC_PublicKey, Botan::TPM_PrivateKey, Botan::X25519_PublicKey, Botan::X448_PublicKey, and Botan::XMSS_PublicKey.

◆ estimated_strength()

virtual size_t Botan::Asymmetric_Key::estimated_strength ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the estimated strength of the underlying key against the best currently known attack. Note that this ignores anything but pure attacks against the key itself and do not take into account padding schemes, usage mistakes, etc which might reduce the strength. However it does suffice to provide an upper bound.

Returns: estimated strength in bits

Implemented in Botan::DH_PublicKey, Botan::Dilithium_PublicKey, Botan::DSA_PublicKey, Botan::EC_PublicKey, Botan::Ed25519_PublicKey, Botan::Ed448_PublicKey, Botan::ElGamal_PublicKey, Botan::FrodoKEM_PublicKey, Botan::HSS_LMS_PublicKey, Botan::Kyber_PublicKey, Botan::McEliece_PublicKey, Botan::RSA_PublicKey, Botan::SphincsPlus_PublicKey, Botan::TLS::Hybrid_KEM_PublicKey, Botan::TLS::KEX_to_KEM_Adapter_PublicKey, Botan::TPM_PrivateKey, Botan::X25519_PublicKey, Botan::X448_PublicKey, and Botan::XMSS_PublicKey.

◆ generate_another()

virtual std::unique_ptr< Private_Key > Botan::Asymmetric_Key::generate_another ( RandomNumberGenerator & rng ) const

pure virtual

Generate another (cryptographically independent) key pair using the same algorithm parameters as this key. This is most useful for algorithms that support PublicKeyOperation::KeyAgreement to generate a fitting ephemeral key pair. For other key types it might throw Not_Implemented.

Implemented in Botan::DH_PublicKey, Botan::Dilithium_PublicKey, Botan::DSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECDH_PublicKey, Botan::ECDSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECGDSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECKCDSA_PublicKey, Botan::Ed25519_PublicKey, Botan::Ed448_PublicKey, Botan::ElGamal_PublicKey, Botan::FrodoKEM_PublicKey, Botan::GOST_3410_PublicKey, Botan::HSS_LMS_PrivateKey, Botan::HSS_LMS_PublicKey, Botan::Kyber_PublicKey, Botan::McEliece_PublicKey, Botan::RSA_PublicKey, Botan::SM2_PublicKey, Botan::SphincsPlus_PublicKey, Botan::TLS::Hybrid_KEM_PublicKey, Botan::TLS::KEX_to_KEM_Adapter_PublicKey, Botan::TPM2::EC_PrivateKey, Botan::TPM2::PublicKey, Botan::TPM2::RSA_PublicKey, Botan::TPM_PrivateKey, Botan::X25519_PublicKey, Botan::X448_PublicKey, and Botan::XMSS_PublicKey.

◆ get_int_field()

const BigInt & Botan::Asymmetric_Key::get_int_field ( std::string_view field ) const

virtual

Access an algorithm specific field

If the field is not known for this algorithm, an Invalid_Argument is thrown. The interpretation of the result requires knowledge of which algorithm is involved. For instance for RSA "p" represents one of the secret primes, while for DSA "p" is the public prime.

Some algorithms may not implement this method at all.

This is primarily used to implement the FFI botan_pubkey_get_field and botan_privkey_get_field functions.

Reimplemented in Botan::DH_PrivateKey, Botan::DH_PublicKey, Botan::DSA_PrivateKey, Botan::DSA_PublicKey, Botan::EC_PrivateKey, Botan::EC_PublicKey, Botan::ElGamal_PrivateKey, Botan::ElGamal_PublicKey, Botan::RSA_PrivateKey, and Botan::RSA_PublicKey.

   throw Unknown_PK_Field_Name(algo_name(), field);

◆ object_identifier()

OID Botan::Asymmetric_Key::object_identifier ( ) const

virtual

Get the OID of the underlying public key scheme.

Returns: OID of the public key scheme

Reimplemented in Botan::Dilithium_PublicKey, Botan::FrodoKEM_PublicKey, Botan::HSS_LMS_PublicKey, Botan::Kyber_PublicKey, and Botan::SphincsPlus_PublicKey.
