Bug #6567
closedLet OpenSSL::PKey::EC follow the general PKey interface
Description
This is supposed to be a parent task that references several quirks and issues that came up with OpenSSL::PKey::EC. The recurring theme is that EC doesn't follow the PKey interface established by RSA and DSA at times, and this results in things failing that shouldn't. These issues should be fixed even if they break backwards compatibility - in my opinion there's nothing won by keeping an interface that doesn't follow the contract.

I want to work on this before the release of openssl gem.
-
EC#public_key returns an EC::Point, not an EC
I think it's better to add new #dup_public (or #public_pkey ?) method for each PKey types, rather than changing EC#public_key to return an EC. Compatibility is one of the reasons, but more important, the name 'public_key' is confusing.
-
EC#private? and #public? are missing
Adding aliases to #private_key? and #public_key? respectively should be enough.
-
EC#generate_key should be #generate_key!
DH has #generate_key!.
-
EC.generate is missing
This can be implemented as a shorthand for EC.new(group).generate_key.

openssl: add OpenSSL::PKey::EC#private? and #public?
-
ext/openssl/ossl_pkey_ec.c: rename PKey::EC#private_key? and
#public_key? to #private? and #public? for consistency with other
PKey types. Old names remain as alias. [ruby-core:45541] [Bug #6567] -
test/openssl/test_pkey_ec.rb (test_check_key): check private? and
public? works correctly.
