54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55ES256 is the name given in the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption
56(COSE) RFC to ECDSA over P-256 with SHA-256.
57The COSE ES256 API of
58.Em libfido2
59is an auxiliary API with routines to convert between the different
60ECDSA public key types used in
61.Em libfido2
62and
63.Em OpenSSL .
64.Pp
65In
66.Em libfido2 ,
67ES256 public keys are abstracted by the
68.Vt es256_pk_t
69type.
70.Pp
71The
72.Fn es256_pk_new
73function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty
74.Vt es256_pk_t
75type.
76If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.
77.Pp
78The
79.Fn es256_pk_free
80function releases the memory backing
81.Fa *pkp ,
82where
83.Fa *pkp
84must have been previously allocated by
85.Fn es256_pk_new .
86On return,
87.Fa *pkp
88is set to NULL.
89Either
90.Fa pkp
91or
92.Fa *pkp
93may be NULL, in which case
94.Fn es256_pk_free
95is a NOP.
96.Pp
97The
98.Fn es256_pk_from_EC_KEY
99function fills
100.Fa pk
101with the contents of
102.Fa ec .
103No references to
104.Fa ec
105are kept.
106.Pp
107The
108.Fn es256_pk_from_EVP_PKEY
109function fills
110.Fa pk
111with the contents of
112.Fa pkey .
113No references to
114.Fa pkey
115are kept.
116.Pp
117The
118.Fn es256_pk_from_ptr
119function fills
120.Fa pk
121with the contents of
122.Fa ptr ,
123where
124.Fa ptr
125points to
126.Fa len
127bytes.
128The
129.Fa ptr
130pointer may point to an uncompressed point, or to the
131concatenation of the x and y coordinates.
132No references to
133.Fa ptr
134are kept.
135.Pp
136The
137.Fn es256_pk_to_EVP_PKEY
138function converts
139.Fa pk
140to a newly allocated
141.Fa EVP_PKEY
142type with a reference count of 1.
143No internal references to the returned pointer are kept.
144If an error occurs,
145.Fn es256_pk_to_EVP_PKEY
146returns NULL.
147.Sh RETURN VALUES
148The
149.Fn es256_pk_from_EC_KEY ,
150.Fn es256_pk_from_EVP_PKEY ,
151and
152.Fn es256_pk_from_ptr
153functions return
154.Dv FIDO_OK
155on success.
156On error, a different error code defined in
157.In fido/err.h
158is returned.
