# Micro-ECC for RIOT
This port of Micro-ECC to RIOT is based on the Micro-ECC
[upstream](https://github.com/kmackay/micro-ecc) and adds `hwrng_read`
(provided by RIOT) as the default RNG function if it is available on the target
platform. This port also fixes a minor issue with unused variables in the
upstream code.
# Usage
## Build
Add
```Makefile
USEPKG += micro-ecc
```
to your Makefile.
## Choosing the right API
Before using the Micro-ECC library, you need to check the `Makefile.features`
of your target board to see if `periph_hwrng` is provided.
If it is provided, you may safely use `uECC_make_key` to generate ECDSA key
pairs and call `uECC_sign`/`uECC_verify` to sign/verify the ECDSA signatures.
If not, you cannot use `uECC_make_key` or `uECC_sign` APIs anymore. The ECDSA
keys have to be generated on a platform with HWRNG support (e.g., `native`) and
transferred to your target device. You need to use `uECC_sign_deterministic` to
perform ECDSA deterministic signing (standardized by RFC 6979). You can still
use `uECC_verify` to verify the signatures from both signing APIs.
**WARNING** Calling `uECC_make_key` and `uECC_sign` APIs on platforms without
HWRNG support will lead to compile failure.
Examples of using these uECC APIs can be found in the `test` folder of the
Micro-ECC upstream.
