5 BN_mod_inverse - compute inverse modulo n
9 #include <openssl/bn.h>
11 BIGNUM *BN_mod_inverse(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *n,
16 BN_mod_inverse() computes the inverse of B<a> modulo B<n>
17 places the result in B<r> (C<(a*r)%n==1>). If B<r> is NULL,
18 a new B<BIGNUM> is created.
20 B<ctx> is a previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for temporary
21 variables. B<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as B<a> or B<n>.
25 BN_mod_inverse() returns the B<BIGNUM> containing the inverse, and
26 NULL on error. The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
30 L<bn(3)|bn(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<BN_add(3)|BN_add(3)>
34 BN_mod_inverse() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
