BN_mod_mul_montgomery, BN_MONT_CTX_new, BN_MONT_CTX_free, BN_MONT_CTX_set, BN_MONT_CTX_copy,

Description

       These functions implement Montgomery multiplication. They are used automatically when BN_mod_exp(3) is
       called with suitable input, but they may be useful when several operations are to be performed using the
       same modulus.

       BN_MONT_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a BN_MONT_CTX structure.

       BN_MONT_CTX_set() sets up the mont structure from the modulus m by precomputing its inverse and a value
       R.

       BN_MONT_CTX_copy() copies the BN_MONT_CTXfrom to to.

       BN_MONT_CTX_free() frees the components of the BN_MONT_CTX, and, if it was created by BN_MONT_CTX_new(),
       also the structure itself.  If mont is NULL, nothing is done.

       BN_mod_mul_montgomery() computes Mont(a,b):=a*b*R^-1 and places the result in r.

       BN_from_montgomery() performs the Montgomery reduction r = a*R^-1.

       BN_to_montgomery() computes Mont(a,R^2), i.e. a*R.  Note that a must be nonnegative and smaller than the
       modulus.

       For all functions, ctx is a previously allocated BN_CTX used for temporary variables.

History

BN_MONT_CTX_init() was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0

Name

       BN_mod_mul_montgomery, BN_MONT_CTX_new, BN_MONT_CTX_free, BN_MONT_CTX_set, BN_MONT_CTX_copy,
       BN_from_montgomery, BN_to_montgomery - Montgomery multiplication

Return Values

BN_MONT_CTX_new() returns the newly allocated BN_MONT_CTX, and NULL on error.

       BN_MONT_CTX_free() has no return value.

       For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.  The error codes can be obtained by
       ERR_get_error(3).

Warnings

       The inputs must be reduced modulo m, otherwise the result will be outside the expected range.
