From 8b093db2c3f489a74b67f687becf750d24fcf626 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2019 17:30:22 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] EAP-pwd: Remove unused checks for cofactor > 1 cases None of the ECC groups supported in the implementation had a cofactor greater than 1, so these checks are unreachable and for all cases, the cofactor is known to be 1. Furthermore, RFC 5931 explicitly disallow use of ECC groups with cofactor larger than 1, so this checks cannot be needed for any curve that is compliant with the RFC. Remove the unneeded group cofactor checks to simplify the implementation.
