*) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
|
||||
RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations to mitigate the
|

hyper-threading timing attacks pointed out by Colin Percival
|
||||
(http://www.daemonology.net/hyperthreading-considered-harmful/),
|
||||
and potential related attacks.
|
||||
RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
|
||||
squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
|
||||
independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
|
||||
cache-timing and potential related attacks.

BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
|
||||
and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
