.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
These functions implement Montgomery multiplication. They are used
automatically when BN_mod_exp(3) is called with suitable input,
but they may be useful when several operations are to be performed
using the same modulus.
.PP
\&\fIBN_MONT_CTX_new()\fR allocates and initializes a \fB\s-1BN_MONT_CTX\s0\fR structure.
\&\fIBN_MONT_CTX_init()\fR initializes an existing uninitialized \fB\s-1BN_MONT_CTX\s0\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_MONT_CTX_set()\fR sets up the \fBmont\fR structure from the modulus \fBm\fR
by precomputing its inverse and a value R.
.PP
\&\fIBN_MONT_CTX_copy()\fR copies the \fB\s-1BN_MONT_CTX\s0\fR \fBfrom\fR to \fBto\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_MONT_CTX_free()\fR frees the components of the \fB\s-1BN_MONT_CTX\s0\fR, and, if
it was created by \fIBN_MONT_CTX_new()\fR, also the structure itself.
.PP
\&\fIBN_mod_mul_montgomery()\fR computes Mont(\fBa\fR,\fBb\fR):=\fBa\fR*\fBb\fR*R^\-1 and places
the result in \fBr\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_from_montgomery()\fR performs the Montgomery reduction \fBr\fR = \fBa\fR*R^\-1.
.PP
\&\fIBN_to_montgomery()\fR computes Mont(\fBa\fR,R^2), i.e. \fBa\fR*R.
.PP
For all functions, \fBctx\fR is a previously allocated \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR used for
temporary variables.
.PP
The \fB\s-1BN_MONT_CTX\s0\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;
.Ve
\&\fIBN_to_montgomery()\fR is a macro.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIBN_MONT_CTX_new()\fR returns the newly allocated \fB\s-1BN_MONT_CTX\s0\fR, and \s-1NULL\s0
on error.
.PP
\&\fIBN_MONT_CTX_init()\fR and \fIBN_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 ERR_get_error(3).
