27
BN_mod_mul_reciprocal() can be used to perform an efficient
28
L<BN_mod_mul(3)|BN_mod_mul(3)> operation when the operation will be performed
29
repeatedly with the same modulus. It computes B<r>=(B<a>*B<b>)%B<m>
30
using B<recp>=1/B<m>, which is set as described below. B<ctx> is a
31
previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for temporary variables.
33
BN_RECP_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a B<BN_RECP> structure.
34
BN_RECP_CTX_init() initializes an existing uninitialized B<BN_RECP>.
36
BN_RECP_CTX_free() frees the components of the B<BN_RECP>, and, if it
37
was created by BN_RECP_CTX_new(), also the structure itself.
39
BN_RECP_CTX_set() stores B<m> in B<recp> and sets it up for computing
40
1/B<m> and shifting it left by BN_num_bits(B<m>)+1 to make it an
41
integer. The result and the number of bits it was shifted left will
42
later be stored in B<recp>.
44
BN_div_recp() divides B<a> by B<m> using B<recp>. It places the quotient
45
in B<dv> and the remainder in B<rem>.
47
The B<BN_RECP_CTX> structure is defined as follows:
49
typedef struct bn_recp_ctx_st
51
BIGNUM N; /* the divisor */
52
BIGNUM Nr; /* the reciprocal */
58
It cannot be shared between threads.
62
BN_RECP_CTX_new() returns the newly allocated B<BN_RECP_CTX>, and NULL
65
BN_RECP_CTX_init() and BN_RECP_CTX_free() have no return values.
67
For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.
68
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
72
L<bn(3)|bn(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<BN_add(3)|BN_add(3)>,
73
L<BN_CTX_new(3)|BN_CTX_new(3)>
77
B<BN_RECP_CTX> was added in SSLeay 0.9.0. Before that, the function
78
BN_reciprocal() was used instead, and the BN_mod_mul_reciprocal()
79
arguments were different.
