27 BN_mod_mul_reciprocal() can be used to perform an efficient
28 L<BN_mod_mul(3)|BN_mod_mul(3)> operation when the operation will be performed
29 repeatedly with the same modulus. It computes B<r>=(B<a>*B<b>)%B<m>
30 using B<recp>=1/B<m>, which is set as described below. B<ctx> is a
31 previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for temporary variables.
33 BN_RECP_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a B<BN_RECP> structure.
34 BN_RECP_CTX_init() initializes an existing uninitialized B<BN_RECP>.
36 BN_RECP_CTX_free() frees the components of the B<BN_RECP>, and, if it
37 was created by BN_RECP_CTX_new(), also the structure itself.
39 BN_RECP_CTX_set() stores B<m> in B<recp> and sets it up for computing
40 1/B<m> and shifting it left by BN_num_bits(B<m>)+1 to make it an
41 integer. The result and the number of bits it was shifted left will
42 later be stored in B<recp>.
44 BN_div_recp() divides B<a> by B<m> using B<recp>. It places the quotient
45 in B<dv> and the remainder in B<rem>.
47 The B<BN_RECP_CTX> structure is defined as follows:
49 typedef struct bn_recp_ctx_st
51 BIGNUM N; /* the divisor */
52 BIGNUM Nr; /* the reciprocal */
58 It cannot be shared between threads.
62 BN_RECP_CTX_new() returns the newly allocated B<BN_RECP_CTX>, and NULL
65 BN_RECP_CTX_init() and BN_RECP_CTX_free() have no return values.
67 For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.
68 The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
72 L<bn(3)|bn(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<BN_add(3)|BN_add(3)>,
73 L<BN_CTX_new(3)|BN_CTX_new(3)>
77 B<BN_RECP_CTX> was added in SSLeay 0.9.0. Before that, the function
78 BN_reciprocal() was used instead, and the BN_mod_mul_reciprocal()
79 arguments were different.
