Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61204&edit=1 ID: 61204 Comment by: mcastelluccio at mozilla dot com Reported by: manuel at mausz dot at Summary: Add elliptic curve support for OpenSSL Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: OpenSSL related PHP Version: trunk-SVN-2012-02-28 (SVN) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is needed to implement the Web Push protocol in PHP: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-webpush-encryption-01 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-01-26 15:24:07] web at jonathanmartins dot com dot br since 2012... affff! This should be done years ago. How can I help? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-05-26 04:14:16] daniel at morante dot net Has this been added? I see this is over 2 years old but I am getting "Unsupported private key type" with the following code: $config = array( "private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_EC, ); $res = openssl_pkey_new($config); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-28 16:58:26] manuel at mausz dot at Description: ------------ It's not possible to generate private keys using elliptic curve cryptography. Expected result: ---------------- Attached is a patch for svn trunk to implement basic support for ec. In order to determine which specific curve to use I've expanded the configuration array with a new key "ec_group_name". There's no openssl.conf equivalent (or at least I don't know). If you prefer an other name or method to pass the curve name to the methods just drop me a note. Additional I've added a new method openssl_get_curve_names() which gets a list of all available elliptic curves (their short names only). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61204&edit=1
