.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
These functions implement Montgomery multiplication. They are used
automatically when \fBBN_mod_exp\fR\|(3) is called with suitable input,
but they may be useful when several operations are to be performed
using the same modulus.
.PP
\&\fBBN_MONT_CTX_new()\fR allocates and initializes a \fBBN_MONT_CTX\fR structure.
\&\fBBN_MONT_CTX_init()\fR initializes an existing uninitialized \fBBN_MONT_CTX\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_MONT_CTX_set()\fR sets up the \fImont\fR structure from the modulus \fIm\fR
by precomputing its inverse and a value R.
.PP
\&\fBBN_MONT_CTX_copy()\fR copies the \fBBN_MONT_CTX\fR \fIfrom\fR to \fIto\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_MONT_CTX_free()\fR frees the components of the \fBBN_MONT_CTX\fR, and, if
it was created by \fBBN_MONT_CTX_new()\fR, also the structure itself.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_mul_montgomery()\fR computes Mont(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR):=\fIa\fR*\fIb\fR*R^\-1 and places
the result in \fIr\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_from_montgomery()\fR performs the Montgomery reduction \fIr\fR = \fIa\fR*R^\-1.
.PP
\&\fBBN_to_montgomery()\fR computes Mont(\fIa\fR,R^2), i.e. \fIa\fR*R.
Note that \fIa\fR must be non-negative and smaller than the modulus.
.PP
For all functions, \fIctx\fR is a previously allocated \fBBN_CTX\fR used for
temporary variables.
.PP
The \fBBN_MONT_CTX\fR structure is defined as follows:
.PP
.Vb 10
\& typedef struct bn_mont_ctx_st
\&        {
\&        int ri;         /* number of bits in R */
\&        BIGNUM RR;      /* R^2 (used to convert to Montgomery form) */
\&        BIGNUM N;       /* The modulus */
\&        BIGNUM Ni;      /* R*(1/R mod N) \- N*Ni = 1
\&                         * (Ni is only stored for bignum algorithm) */
\&        BN_ULONG n0;    /* least significant word of Ni */
\&        int flags;
\&        } BN_MONT_CTX;

.PP
\&\fBBN_to_montgomery()\fR is a macro.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBN_MONT_CTX_new()\fR returns the newly allocated \fBBN_MONT_CTX\fR, and NULL
on error.
.PP
\&\fBBN_MONT_CTX_init()\fR and \fBBN_MONT_CTX_free()\fR have no return values.
.PP
For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
.SH WARNING
.IX Header "WARNING"
The inputs must be reduced modulo \fBm\fR, otherwise the result will be
outside the expected range.
