      • GroupElement

        public GroupElement​(Curve curve,
                            byte[] s)
        Creates a group element for a curve from a given encoded point. No pre-computation.

        A point $(x,y)$ is encoded by storing $y$ in bit 0 to bit 254 and the sign of $x$ in bit 255. $x$ is recovered in the following way:

        • $x = sign(x) * \sqrt{(y^2 - 1) / (d * y^2 + 1)} = sign(x) * \sqrt{u / v}$ with $u = y^2 - 1$ and $v = d * y^2 + 1$.
        • Setting $β = (u * v^3) * (u * v^7)^{((q - 5) / 8)}$ one has $β^2 = \pm(u / v)$.
        • If $v * β = -u$ multiply $β$ with $i=\sqrt{-1}$.
        • Set $x := β$.
        • If $sign(x) \ne$ bit 255 of $s$ then negate $x$.
        Parameters:
        curve - The curve.
        s - The encoded point.

      • dbl

        public GroupElement dbl()
        Doubles a given group element $p$ in $P^2$ or $P^3$ representation and returns the result in $P \times P$ representation. $r = 2 * p$ where $p = (X : Y : Z)$ or $p = (X : Y : Z : T)$

        $r$ in $P \times P$ representation:

        $r = ((X' : Z'), (Y' : T'))$ where

        • $X' = (X + Y)^2 - (Y^2 + X^2)$
        • $Y' = Y^2 + X^2$
        • $Z' = y^2 - X^2$
        • $T' = 2 * Z^2 - (y^2 - X^2)$

        $r$ converted from $P \times P$ to $P^2$ representation:

        $r = (X'' : Y'' : Z'')$ where

        • $X'' = X' * Z' = ((X + Y)^2 - Y^2 - X^2) * (2 * Z^2 - (y^2 - X^2))$
        • $Y'' = Y' * T' = (Y^2 + X^2) * (2 * Z^2 - (y^2 - X^2))$
        • $Z'' = Z' * T' = (y^2 - X^2) * (2 * Z^2 - (y^2 - X^2))$

        Formula for the $P^2$ representation is in agreement with the formula given in [4] page 12 (with $a = -1$) up to a common factor -1 which does not matter:

        $$ B = (X + Y)^2; C = X^2; D = Y^2; E = -C = -X^2; F := E + D = Y^2 - X^2; H = Z^2; J = F − 2 * H; \\ X3 = (B − C − D) · J = X' * (-T'); \\ Y3 = F · (E − D) = Z' * (-Y'); \\ Z3 = F · J = Z' * (-T'). $$

        Returns:
        The P1P1 representation
      • add

        public GroupElement add​(GroupElement q)
        GroupElement addition using the twisted Edwards addition law with extended coordinates (Hisil2008).

        this must be in $P^3$ representation and $q$ in CACHED representation. $r = p + q$ where $p = this = (X1 : Y1 : Z1 : T1), q = (q.X, q.Y, q.Z, q.T) = (Y2 + X2, Y2 - X2, Z2, 2 * d * T2)$

        $r$ in $P \times P$ representation:

        • $X' = (Y1 + X1) * (Y2 + X2) - (Y1 - X1) * (Y2 - X2)$
        • $Y' = (Y1 + X1) * (Y2 + X2) + (Y1 - X1) * (Y2 - X2)$
        • $Z' = 2 * Z1 * Z2 + 2 * d * T1 * T2$
        • $T' = 2 * Z1 * T2 - 2 * d * T1 * T2$

        Setting $A = (Y1 - X1) * (Y2 - X2), B = (Y1 + X1) * (Y2 + X2), C = 2 * d * T1 * T2, D = 2 * Z1 * Z2$ we get

        • $X' = (B - A)$
        • $Y' = (B + A)$
        • $Z' = (D + C)$
        • $T' = (D - C)$

        Same result as in madd(net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.math.GroupElement) (up to a common factor which does not matter).

        Parameters:
        q - the CACHED representation of the GroupElement to add.
        Returns:
        the P1P1 representation of the result.
      • sub

        public GroupElement sub​(GroupElement q)
        GroupElement subtraction using the twisted Edwards addition law with extended coordinates (Hisil2008).

        $r = p - q$

        Negating $q$ means negating the value of the coordinate $X2$ and $T2$. The formula is in accordance to the above addition.

        Parameters:
        q - the PRECOMP representation of the GroupElement to subtract.
        Returns:
        the P1P1 representation of the result.

        $h = a * B$ where $a = a[0]+256*a[1]+\dots+256^{31} a[31]$ and $B$ is this point. If its lookup table has not been precomputed, it will be at the start of the method (and cached for later calls). Constant time.
