DESCRIPTION

40       BN_BLINDING_new() allocates a new BN_BLINDING structure and copies the
41       A and Ai values into the newly created BN_BLINDING object.
42
43       BN_BLINDING_free() frees the BN_BLINDING structure.
44
45       BN_BLINDING_update() updates the BN_BLINDING parameters by squaring the
46       A and Ai or, after specific number of uses and if the necessary
47       parameters are set, by re-creating the blinding parameters.
48
49       BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() multiplies n with the blinding factor A.  If r
50       is not NULL a copy the inverse blinding factor Ai will be returned in r
51       (this is useful if a RSA object is shared amoung several threads).
52       BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() multiplies n with the inverse blinding factor
53       Ai. If r is not NULL it will be used as the inverse blinding.
54
55       BN_BLINDING_convert() and BN_BLINDING_invert() are wrapper functions
56       for BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() and BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() with r set to
57       NULL.
58
59       BN_BLINDING_thread_id() provides access to the CRYPTO_THREADID object
60       within the BN_BLINDING structure. This is to help users provide proper
61       locking if needed for multi-threaded use. The "thread id" object of a
62       newly allocated BN_BLINDING structure is initialised to the thread id
63       in which BN_BLINDING_new() was called.
64
65       BN_BLINDING_get_flags() returns the BN_BLINDING flags. Currently there
66       are two supported flags: BN_BLINDING_NO_UPDATE and
67       BN_BLINDING_NO_RECREATE. BN_BLINDING_NO_UPDATE inhibits the automatic
68       update of the BN_BLINDING parameters after each use and
69       BN_BLINDING_NO_RECREATE inhibits the automatic re-creation of the
70       BN_BLINDING parameters after a fixed number of uses (currently 32). In
71       newly allocated BN_BLINDING objects no flags are set.
72       BN_BLINDING_set_flags() sets the BN_BLINDING parameters flags.
73
74       BN_BLINDING_create_param() creates new BN_BLINDING parameters using the
75       exponent e and the modulus m. bn_mod_exp and m_ctx can be used to pass
76       special functions for exponentiation (normally BN_mod_exp_mont() and
77       BN_MONT_CTX).
78

RETURN VALUES

80       BN_BLINDING_new() returns the newly allocated BN_BLINDING structure or
81       NULL in case of an error.
82
83       BN_BLINDING_update(), BN_BLINDING_convert(), BN_BLINDING_invert(),
84       BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() and BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() return 1 on
85       success and 0 if an error occured.
86
87       BN_BLINDING_thread_id() returns a pointer to the thread id object
88       within a BN_BLINDING object.
89
90       BN_BLINDING_get_flags() returns the currently set BN_BLINDING flags (a
91       unsigned long value).
92
93       BN_BLINDING_create_param() returns the newly created BN_BLINDING
94       parameters or NULL on error.

HISTORY

100       BN_BLINDING_thread_id was first introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.0, and it
101       deprecates BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id and BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id.
102
103       BN_BLINDING_convert_ex, BN_BLINDIND_invert_ex,
104       BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id, BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id,
105       BN_BLINDING_set_flags, BN_BLINDING_get_flags and
106       BN_BLINDING_create_param were first introduced in OpenSSL 0.9.8
