SYNOPSIS

10        #include <openssl/bn.h>
11
12        BN_RECP_CTX *BN_RECP_CTX_new(void);
13        void BN_RECP_CTX_free(BN_RECP_CTX *recp);
14
15        int BN_RECP_CTX_set(BN_RECP_CTX *recp, const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx);
16
17        int BN_div_recp(BIGNUM *dv, BIGNUM *rem, BIGNUM *a, BN_RECP_CTX *recp,
18                        BN_CTX *ctx);
19
20        int BN_mod_mul_reciprocal(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *b,
21                                  BN_RECP_CTX *recp, BN_CTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION

24       BN_mod_mul_reciprocal() can be used to perform an efficient
25       BN_mod_mul(3) operation when the operation will be performed repeatedly
26       with the same modulus. It computes r=(a*b)%m using recp=1/m, which is
27       set as described below.  ctx is a previously allocated BN_CTX used for
28       temporary variables.
29
30       BN_RECP_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a BN_RECP structure.
31
32       BN_RECP_CTX_free() frees the components of the BN_RECP, and, if it was
33       created by BN_RECP_CTX_new(), also the structure itself.  If recp is
34       NULL, nothing is done.
35
36       BN_RECP_CTX_set() stores m in recp and sets it up for computing 1/m and
37       shifting it left by BN_num_bits(m)+1 to make it an integer. The result
38       and the number of bits it was shifted left will later be stored in
39       recp.
40
41       BN_div_recp() divides a by m using recp. It places the quotient in dv
42       and the remainder in rem.
43
44       The BN_RECP_CTX structure cannot be shared between threads.
45

RETURN VALUES

47       BN_RECP_CTX_new() returns the newly allocated BN_RECP_CTX, and NULL on
48       error.
49
50       BN_RECP_CTX_free() has no return value.
51
52       For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.  The
53       error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
