51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52EDDSA is the name given in the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption
53(COSE) RFC to EDDSA over Curve25519 with SHA-512.
54The COSE EDDSA API of
55.Em libfido2
56is an auxiliary API with routines to convert between the different
57EDDSA public key types used in
58.Em libfido2
59and
60.Em OpenSSL .
61.Pp
62In
63.Em libfido2 ,
64EDDSA public keys are abstracted by the
65.Vt eddsa_pk_t
66type.
67.Pp
68The
69.Fn eddsa_pk_new
70function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty
71.Vt eddsa_pk_t
72type.
73If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.
74.Pp
75The
76.Fn eddsa_pk_free
77function releases the memory backing
78.Fa *pkp ,
79where
80.Fa *pkp
81must have been previously allocated by
82.Fn eddsa_pk_new .
83On return,
84.Fa *pkp
85is set to NULL.
86Either
87.Fa pkp
88or
89.Fa *pkp
90may be NULL, in which case
91.Fn eddsa_pk_free
92is a NOP.
93.Pp
94The
95.Fn eddsa_pk_from_EVP_PKEY
96function fills
97.Fa pk
98with the contents of
99.Fa pkey .
100No references to
101.Fa pkey
102are kept.
103.Pp
104The
105.Fn eddsa_pk_from_ptr
106function fills
107.Fa pk
108with the contents of
109.Fa ptr ,
110where
111.Fa ptr
112points to
113.Fa len
114bytes.
115No references to
116.Fa ptr
117are kept.
118.Pp
119The
120.Fn eddsa_pk_to_EVP_PKEY
121function converts
122.Fa pk
123to a newly allocated
124.Fa EVP_PKEY
125type with a reference count of 1.
126No internal references to the returned pointer are kept.
127If an error occurs,
128.Fn eddsa_pk_to_EVP_PKEY
129returns NULL.
130.Sh RETURN VALUES
131The
132.Fn eddsa_pk_from_EVP_PKEY
133and
134.Fn eddsa_pk_from_ptr
135functions return
136.Dv FIDO_OK
137on success.
138On error, a different error code defined in
139.In fido/err.h
140is returned.
