Stealing code is not acceptable. Denying the theft is even worse.

Smooth aka iCEBREAKER: This code is from the OpenSSL project from ecdhtest.c:

Code:

static EC_KEY *mk_eckey(int nid, const unsigned char *p, size_t plen)
{
   int ok = 0;
   EC_KEY *k = NULL;
   BIGNUM *priv = NULL;
   EC_POINT *pub = NULL;
   const EC_GROUP *grp;
   k = EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name(nid);
   if (!k)
   goto err;
   priv = BN_bin2bn(p, plen, NULL);
   if (!priv)
   goto err;
   if (!EC_KEY_set_private_key(k, priv))
   goto err;
   grp = EC_KEY_get0_group(k);
   pub = EC_POINT_new(grp);
   if (!pub)
   goto err;
   if (!EC_POINT_mul(grp, pub, priv, NULL, NULL, NULL))
   goto err;
   if (!EC_KEY_set_public_key(k, pub))
   goto err;
   ok = 1;
err:
   if (priv)
   BN_clear_free(priv);
   if (pub)
   EC_POINT_free(pub);
   if (ok)
   return k;
   else if (k)
   EC_KEY_free(k);
   return NULL;
}

I agree, Bitcoin should not steal. Cool

Thank you for your support.
