BN_mod_mul_reciprocal(3) | OpenSSL | BN_mod_mul_reciprocal(3) |
BN_RECP_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a BN_RECP structure. BN_RECP_CTX_init() initializes an existing uninitialized BN_RECP.
BN_RECP_CTX_free() frees the components of the BN_RECP, and, if it was created by BN_RECP_CTX_new(), also the structure itself.
BN_RECP_CTX_set() stores m in recp and sets it up for computing 1/ m and shifting it left by BN_num_bits(m)+1 to make it an integer. The result and the number of bits it was shifted left will later be stored in recp.
BN_div_recp() divides a by m using recp. It places the quotient in dv and the remainder in rem.
The BN_RECP_CTX structure is defined as follows:
typedef struct bn_recp_ctx_st
{
BIGNUM N; /* the divisor */
BIGNUM Nr; /* the reciprocal */
int num_bits;
int shift;
int flags;
} BN_RECP_CTX;
It cannot be shared between threads.
BN_RECP_CTX_init() and BN_RECP_CTX_free() have no return values.
For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error. The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
