To use functions like these, you don't need the struct details (you'd only need those to peek at struct members) -- what's exposed in EC_KEY is sufficient. You can't declare EC_KEY variables in your application code, but you can have EC_KEY * pointers and can use these with those APIs. (This is like, for example, FILE * from the standard C library.)
