I have a question about ECDH in the OpenSSL library.
In file 'ecdhtest.c' at 159 line, we can confirm the value of private key as follows:
BN_print(out, a->priv_key);
But, the error happened when I built using Makefile.
ecdsatest.c:221:22: error: incomplete definition of type 'struct ec_key_st'
BN_print(out, key->priv_key);
~~~^
../include/openssl/evp.h:147:16: note: forward declaration of 'struct ec_key_st'
struct ec_key_st *ec; /* ECC */
^
1 error generated.
I think that the type of key->priv_key
is BIGNUM
.
I would like to confirm the value of the private key.
If you have some idea, please help me.
The definition of struct ec_key_st
is held opaque by intent. It is defined in ec_lcl.h
from the openssl distribution, which is not part of the public interface. In version 1.0.1k, it looks like this:
struct ec_key_st {
int version;
EC_GROUP *group;
EC_POINT *pub_key;
BIGNUM *priv_key;
unsigned int enc_flag;
point_conversion_form_t conv_form;
int references;
int flags;
EC_EXTRA_DATA *method_data;
} /* EC_KEY */;
but it may not be stable from version to version.
However, you can obtain the private key using the accessor function
const BIGNUM *EC_KEY_get0_private_key(const EC_KEY *key);
which would be the clean way to do that.
