STRUCT ECC_POINT(9)

✨ struct ecc_point(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the cutest lil struct: it's just an elliptic curve point living in affine coordinates 🎀 like, no cap, that's the whole vibe.

💖 NAME 💖

struct ecc_point — an elliptic curve point, but make it affine coordinates 💅 she's giving pure math main character energy fr fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ecc_point {
    u64 *x;
    u64 *y;
    u8 ndigits;
 };

🦋 Members 🦋

• x — the X coordinate, but stored in vli form 🫶 (vli = the kernel's big-number vibe, iykyk).
• y — the Y coordinate, same deal, also in vli form ✨ so it matches her bestie x.
• ndigits — the length of those vlis, counted in u64 qwords 🔢 like that's the size tag, periodt.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• the kernel file ./include/crypto/ecc_curve.h 👑
• struct ecc_curve(9)
• ecc_get_curve(9)
• ecc_get_curve25519(9)

lowkey go read those next, they're the whole friend group 💜

okay that's it, that's the struct 🎀 stay iconic, drink water, and remember: affine coordinates ate and left no crumbs ✨
