如何使用 OpenSSL 的 ECC 支持来加密或解密文本字符串？我可以使用 OpenSSL API 生成 ECC 私钥/公钥，但我不知道如何使用这些密钥加密纯文本。

【问题讨论】：

【参考方案1】：

ECC 本身并没有真正定义任何加密/解密操作 - 建立在椭圆曲线上的算法可以。

一个例子是椭圆曲线 Diffie-Hellman。您可以通过以下方式使用 ECDH 加密消息：

    生成临时 EC 密钥。 使用该密钥和接收者的公钥，使用 ECDH 生成密钥。 使用该密钥作为密钥，使用对称密码（如 AES）加密消息。 传输加密消息和步骤 1 中生成的临时公钥。

解密：

    从消息中加载临时公钥。 使用该公钥与您的收件人私钥一起使用 ECDH 生成一个秘密。 使用该密钥作为密钥，使用对称密码解密消息。

编辑： 以下是使用 ECDH 生成密钥的基本思路。首先我们需要定义一个密钥派生函数——这个函数使用 SHA1 哈希。

void *KDF1_SHA1(const void *in, size_t inlen, void *out, size_t *outlen)

    if (*outlen < SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH)
        return NULL;
    else
        *outlen = SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH;
    return SHA1(in, inlen, out);

这是发送方的 ECDH 代码。它假定收件人的公钥已经在“recip_key”中，并且您已经使用 EC_KEY_check_key() 对其进行了验证。为了简洁起见，它还省略了许多重要的错误检查，您肯定希望将其包含在生产代码中。

EC_KEY *ephemeral_key = NULL;
const EC_GROUP *group = NULL;
unsigned char buf[SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH] =  0 ;

group = EC_KEY_get0_group(recip_key);
ephemeral_key = EC_KEY_new();
EC_KEY_set_group(ephemeral_key, group);

EC_KEY_generate_key(ephemeral_key);
ECDH_compute_key(buf, sizeof buf, EC_KEY_get0_public_key(recip_key), ephemeral_key, KDF1_SHA1);

在此之后，缓冲区“buf”包含 20 个字节的可用于键控的材料。这个简短的示例基于 openssl 源代码分发中“ecdhtest.c”中的代码 - 我建议看一下。

您将希望将 ephemeral_key 的公钥部分与加密消息一起发送，并安全地丢弃私钥部分。数据上的 MAC 也是一个好主意，如果您需要超过 20 字节的密钥材料，则可能需要更长的哈希值。

收件人做了类似的事情，只是它的私钥已经存在（因为发件人必须事先知道相应的公钥），并且公钥是从发件人那里收到的。

【讨论】：

咖啡厅，感谢您的回复。我对你上面提到的步骤很好。我可以利用 AES 使用 ECDH 生成的秘密来加密消息。是否有执行上述步骤的示例程序？如果是这样，请指出我。我尝试了很多寻找这样的示例程序，但没有运气。谢谢 您能否指出更多关于如何在发送方/接收方之间生成秘密的参考资料（可能使用 OpenSSL）。谢谢。【参考方案2】：

由于很难找到展示如何使用 ECC 加密数据的示例，我想我会发布一些代码供其他人使用。如需完整列表，请查看我的 openssl-dev 帖子：

http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-dev@openssl.org/msg28042.html

基本上，它是如何使用 ECDH 保护数据块的可用版本。 ECDH 用于生成共享密钥。然后使用 SHA 512 对共享密钥进行哈希处理。将生成的 512 位拆分，其中 256 位用作对称密码的密钥（在我的示例中为 AES 256），其他 256 位用作 HMAC 的密钥。我的实现大致基于 SECG 工作组概述的 ECIES 标准。

关键函数是 ecies_encrypt()，它接受十六进制形式的公钥并返回加密数据：

我发布此内容是因为我个人找不到任何其他有关如何使用 ECC 和 OpenSSL 库保护文件的示例。也就是说，值得一提的是不使用 OpenSSL 的替代方案。一个是安全的，它遵循类似于我的示例的模式，只是它依赖于 libgcrypt。由于 libgcrypt 不提供所需的所有底层 ECC 功能，因此安全程序填补了空白并实现了 libgcrypt 中缺少的 ECC 逻辑。

另一个值得一看的程序是 SKS，它使用与上面示例类似的基于 ECC 的加密过程，但没有任何外部依赖项（因此所有 ECC 代码都在那里供您查看）。
