.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn EC_POINT_add
adds the two points
.Fa a
and
.Fa b
and places the result in
.Fa r .
Similarly
.Fn EC_POINT_dbl
doubles the point
.Fa a
and places the result in
.Fa r .
In both cases it is valid for
.Fa r
to be one of
.Fa a
or
.Fa b .
.Pp
.Fn EC_POINT_invert
calculates the inverse of the supplied point
.Fa a .
The result is placed back in
.Fa a .
.Pp
The function
.Fn EC_POINT_is_at_infinity
tests whether the supplied point is at infinity or not.
.Pp
.Fn EC_POINT_is_on_curve
tests whether the supplied point is on the curve or not.
.Pp
.Fn EC_POINT_cmp
compares the two supplied points and tests whether or not they are
equal.
.Pp
The functions
.Fn EC_POINT_make_affine
and
.Fn EC_POINTs_make_affine
force the internal representation of the
.Vt EC_POINT Ns (s)
into the affine coordinate system.
In the case of
.Fn EC_POINTs_make_affine ,
the value
.Fa num
provides the number of points in the array
.Fa points
to be forced.
.Pp
.Fn EC_POINT_mul
calculates the value
.Pp
.D1 generator * n + q * m
.Pp
and stores the result in
.Fa r .
The value
.Fa n
may be
.Dv NULL ,
in which case the result is just q * m.
.Pp
.Fn EC_POINTs_mul
calculates the value
.Pp
.Dl generator * n + q[0] * m[0] + ... + q[num-1] * m[num-1]
.Pp
As for
.Fn EC_POINT_mul ,
the value
.Fa n
may be
.Dv NULL .
.Pp
The function
.Fn EC_GROUP_precompute_mult
stores multiples of the generator for faster point multiplication,
whilst
.Fn EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult
tests whether precomputation has already been done.
See
.Xr EC_GROUP_copy 3
for information about the generator.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error:
.Fn EC_POINT_add ,
.Fn EC_POINT_dbl ,
.Fn EC_POINT_invert ,
.Fn EC_POINT_make_affine ,
.Fn EC_POINTs_make_affine ,
.Fn EC_POINTs_make_affine ,
.Fn EC_POINT_mul ,
.Fn EC_POINTs_mul ,
and
.Fn EC_GROUP_precompute_mult .
.Pp
.Fn EC_POINT_is_at_infinity
returns 1 if the point is at infinity or 0 otherwise.
.Pp
.Fn EC_POINT_is_on_curve
returns 1 if the point is on the curve, 0 if not, or -1 on error.
.Pp
.Fn EC_POINT_cmp
returns 1 if the points are not equal, 0 if they are, or -1 on error.
.Pp
.Fn EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult
returns 1 if a precomputation has been done or 0 if not.
