# gnutls\_privkey\_import\_gost\_raw(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_privkey\_import\_gost\_raw - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/abstract.h\>**

**int gnutls\_privkey\_import\_gost\_raw(gnutls\_privkey\_t** *key***, gnutls\_ecc\_curve\_t** *curve***, gnutls\_digest\_algorithm\_t** *digest***, gnutls\_gost\_paramset\_t** *paramset***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *x***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *y***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *k***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_privkey\_t key

  The key

- gnutls\_ecc\_curve\_t curve

  holds the curve

- gnutls\_digest\_algorithm\_t digest

  holds the digest

- gnutls\_gost\_paramset\_t paramset

  holds the GOST parameter set ID

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* x

  holds the x-coordinate

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* y

  holds the y-coordinate

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* k

  holds the k (private key)

## DESCRIPTION

This function will convert the given GOST private key's parameters to the native **gnutls\_privkey\_t** format.  The output will be stored in  *key* .   *digest* should be one of GNUTLS\_DIG\_GOSR\_94, GNUTLS\_DIG\_STREEBOG\_256 or GNUTLS\_DIG\_STREEBOG\_512.  If  *paramset* is set to GNUTLS\_GOST\_PARAMSET\_UNKNOWN default one will be selected depending on\
  *digest* .

## NOTE

parameters should be stored with least significant byte first. On version 3.6.3 big-endian format was used incorrectly.

## RETURNS

On success, **GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

## SINCE

3\.6.3
