28.Sh DESCRIPTION
29EDDSA is the name given in the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption
30(COSE) RFC to EDDSA over Curve25519 with SHA-512.
31The COSE EDDSA API of
32.Em libfido2
33is an auxiliary API with routines to convert between the different
34EDDSA public key types used in
35.Em libfido2
36and
37.Em OpenSSL .
38.Pp
39In
40.Em libfido2 ,
41EDDSA public keys are abstracted by the
42.Vt eddsa_pk_t
43type.
44.Pp
45The
46.Fn eddsa_pk_new
47function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty
48.Vt eddsa_pk_t
49type.
50If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.
51.Pp
52The
53.Fn eddsa_pk_free
54function releases the memory backing
55.Fa *pkp ,
56where
57.Fa *pkp
58must have been previously allocated by
59.Fn eddsa_pk_new .
60On return,
61.Fa *pkp
62is set to NULL.
63Either
64.Fa pkp
65or
66.Fa *pkp
67may be NULL, in which case
68.Fn eddsa_pk_free
69is a NOP.
70.Pp
71The
72.Fn eddsa_pk_from_EVP_PKEY
73function fills
74.Fa pk
75with the contents of
76.Fa pkey .
77No references to
78.Fa pkey
79are kept.
80.Pp
81The
82.Fn eddsa_pk_from_ptr
83function fills
84.Fa pk
85with the contents of
86.Fa ptr ,
87where
88.Fa ptr
89points to
90.Fa len
91bytes.
92No references to
93.Fa ptr
94are kept.
95.Pp
96The
97.Fn eddsa_pk_to_EVP_PKEY
98function converts
99.Fa pk
100to a newly allocated
101.Fa EVP_PKEY
102type with a reference count of 1.
103No internal references to the returned pointer are kept.
104If an error occurs,
105.Fn eddsa_pk_to_EVP_PKEY
106returns NULL.
107.Sh RETURN VALUES
108The
109.Fn eddsa_pk_from_EC_KEY
110and
111.Fn eddsa_pk_from_ptr
112functions return
113.Dv FIDO_OK
114on success.
115On error, a different error code defined in
116.In fido/err.h
117is returned.
