L<foo|foo> is sub-optimal If the xref is the same as the title, which is what we do, then you only need L<foo>. This fixes all 1457 occurrences in 349 files. Approximately. (And pod used to need both.) Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org>

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
These functions implement Montgomery multiplication. They are used
|
|
automatically when L<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 B<BN_MONT_CTX> structure.
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_set() sets up the I<mont> structure from the modulus I<m>
|
|
by precomputing its inverse and a value R.
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_copy() copies the B<BN_MONT_CTX> I<from> to I<to>.
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_free() frees the components of the B<BN_MONT_CTX>, and, if
|
|
it was created by BN_MONT_CTX_new(), also the structure itself.
|
|
If B<mont> is NULL, nothing is done.
|
|
|
|
BN_mod_mul_montgomery() computes Mont(I<a>,I<b>):=I<a>*I<b>*R^-1 and places
|
|
the result in I<r>.
|
|
|
|
BN_from_montgomery() performs the Montgomery reduction I<r> = I<a>*R^-1.
|
|
|
|
BN_to_montgomery() computes Mont(I<a>,R^2), i.e. I<a>*R.
|
|
Note that I<a> must be non-negative and smaller than the modulus.
|
|
|
|
For all functions, I<ctx> is a previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for
|
|
temporary variables.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_new() returns the newly allocated B<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 L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 WARNING
|
|
|
|
The inputs must be reduced modulo B<m>, otherwise the result will be
|
|
outside the expected range.
|
|
|
|
=head1 REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY
|
|
|
|
void BN_MONT_CTX_init(BN_MONT_CTX *c);
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_init() is no longer available as of OpenSSL 1.1.0. It was used to
|
|
initialize an existing uninitialized B<BN_MONT_CTX>. Typically this would be
|
|
done as follows:
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX ctx;
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_init(&ctx);
|
|
|
|
Instead applications should create a BN_MONT_CTX structure using
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_new:
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX *ctx;
|
|
ctx = BN_MONT_CTX_new();
|
|
if(!ctx) /* handle error */
|
|
...
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_free(ctx);
|
|

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_new(), BN_MONT_CTX_free(), BN_MONT_CTX_set(),
|
|
BN_mod_mul_montgomery(), BN_from_montgomery() and BN_to_montgomery()
|
|
are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_init() and BN_MONT_CTX_copy() were added in SSLeay 0.9.1b.
|
|
BN_MONT_CTX_init was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0
