1# Converting a Compressed or Uncompressed ECC Public Key (C/C++) 2 3You can generate a public key object [PubKey](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/_crypto_asym_key_api.md#oh_cryptopubkey)) from ECC public key data or obtain the ECC public key data from a public key (**PubKey**) object. 4 5Currently, only the compressed/uncompressed public key data that complies with the ECC X.509 standard is supported. The public key data mentioned in this topic is a complete X509 public key. For details about the operations on point data, see [Converting Compressed or Uncompressed ECC Point Data](crypto-convert-compressed-or-uncompressed-ECC-point.md). 6 7For details about the ECC algorithm specifications, see [ECC](crypto-asym-key-generation-conversion-spec.md#ecc). 8 9You can pass in the string parameter to set the format of the ECC public key to obtain. To obtain a compressed public key that complies with the X.509 standard, pass in **X509|COMPRESSED**. To obtain an uncompressed public key, pass in **X509|UNCOMPRESSED**. 10 11 12## Converting Uncompressed Public Key Data to Compressed Public Key Data 13 141. Specify uncompressed ECC public key data of the uint8_t type and encapsulate the data into a [Crypto_DataBlob](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/_crypto_common_api.md#crypto_datablob) object. 15Either the public key or private key can be passed in. In this example, an uncompressed public key is passed in. 162. Use [OH_CryptoAsymKeyGenerator_Create](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/_crypto_asym_key_api.md#oh_cryptoasymkeygenerator_generate) with the string parameter **'ECC_BrainPoolP256r1'** to create an asymmetric key generator (**OH_CryptoAsymKeyGenerator**) object for a 256-bit ECC key pair. 173. Use [OH_CryptoAsymKeyGenerator_Convert](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/_crypto_asym_key_api.md#oh_cryptoasymkeygenerator_convert) to convert the [Crypto_DataBlob](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/_crypto_common_api.md#crypto_datablob) object into an asymmetric key object (**OH_CryptoKeyPair**). 184. Use [OH_CryptoPubKey_Encode](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/_crypto_asym_key_api.md#oh_cryptopubkey_encode) with the parameter set to **'X509|COMPRESSED'** to obtain the byte stream of the compressed public key data. 19 20**Example** 21 22```c++ 23#include "CryptoArchitectureKit/crypto_common.h" 24#include "CryptoArchitectureKit/crypto_asym_key.h" 25 26static OH_Crypto_ErrCode doTestEccDataCovert() 27{ 28 OH_CryptoAsymKeyGenerator *generator = nullptr; 29 OH_CryptoKeyPair *keyPair = nullptr; 30 Crypto_DataBlob returnBlob = { .data = nullptr, .len = 0 }; 31 OH_Crypto_ErrCode ret = CRYPTO_INVALID_PARAMS; 32 33 ret = HcfAsyKeyGeneratorCreate("ECC_BrainPoolP256r1", &generator); 34 if (ret != CRYPTO_SUCCESS) { 35 return ret; 36 } 37 uint8_t pubKeyBlobData[] = { 38 48, 90, 48, 20, 6, 7, 42, 134, 72, 206, 61, 2, 1, 6, 9, 43, 36, 3, 3, 2, 39 8, 1, 1, 7, 3, 66, 0, 4, 143, 39, 57, 249, 145, 50, 63, 222, 35, 70, 178, 40 121, 202, 154, 21, 146, 129, 75, 76, 63, 8, 195, 157, 111, 40, 217, 215, 41 148, 120, 224, 205, 82, 83, 92, 185, 21, 211, 184, 5, 19, 114, 33, 86, 85, 42 228,123, 242, 206, 200, 98, 178, 184, 130, 35, 232, 45, 5, 202, 189, 11, 43 46, 163, 156, 152 44 }; 45 Crypto_DataBlob pubKeyUncompressedBlob = { 46 .data = pubKeyBlobData, 47 .len = sizeof(pubKeyBlobData), 48 }; 49 ret = OH_CryptoAsymKeyGenerator_Convert(generator, CRYPTO_DER, &pubKeyUncompressedBlob, nullptr, &keyPair); 50 if (ret != CRYPTO_SUCCESS) { 51 OH_CryptoAsymKeyGenerator_Destroy(generator); 52 return ret; 53 } 54 55 OH_CryptoPubKey *pubKey = OH_CryptoKeyPair_GetPubKey(keyPair); 56 ret = OH_CryptoPubKey_Encode(pubKey, CRYPTO_DER, "X509|UNCOMPRESSED", &returnBlob); 57 if (ret != CRYPTO_SUCCESS) { 58 OH_CryptoAsymKeyGenerator_Destroy(generator); 59 OH_CryptoKeyPair_Destroy(keyPair); 60 return ret; 61 } 62 OH_CryptoAsymKeyGenerator_Destroy(generator); 63 OH_CryptoKeyPair_Destroy(keyPair); 64 return ret; 65} 66``` 67
