_signature_element_size_for_DER_encoding()

virtual std::optional< size_t > Botan::Asymmetric_Key::_signature_element_size_for_DER_encoding ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Certain signatures schemes such as ECDSA have more than one element, and certain unfortunate protocols decided the thing to do was not concatenate them as normally done, but instead DER encode each of the elements as independent values.

If this returns a value x then the signature is checked to be exactly 2*x bytes and split in half for DER encoding.

Reimplemented in Botan::DSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECDSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECGDSA_PublicKey, Botan::ECKCDSA_PublicKey, Botan::GOST_3410_PublicKey, and Botan::SM2_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::Classic_McEliece_PublicKey, 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::Classic_McEliece_PublicKey, 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.

TODO(Botan4) Change this to return by value

object_identifier()

OID Botan::Asymmetric_Key::object_identifier ( ) const

Returns
