pyecsca.ec.key_generation module¶

Provides a key generator for elliptic curve keypairs.

class KeygenAction(params)[source]¶

Bases: ResultAction

A key generation.

params: DomainParameters[source]¶

exit(result)[source]¶

property result: Any[source]¶: The result of the action.

inside: bool[source]¶

class KeyGeneration(mult, params, affine=False)[source]¶

Bases: object

Key generator.

Parameters:

mult¶ (ScalarMultiplier) – The scalar multiplier to use during key generation.
params¶ (DomainParameters) – The domain parameters over which to generate the keypair.
affine¶ (bool) – Whether to transform the public key point to the affine form during key generation.

mult: ScalarMultiplier[source]¶

params: DomainParameters[source]¶

affine: bool[source]¶

generate()[source]¶

Generate a keypair.

Return type:: Tuple[Mod, Point]
Returns:: The generated keypair, a tuple of the private key (scalar) and the public key (point).
