They are used automatically when .Xr 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 .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_new allocates and initializes a .Vt BN_MONT_CTX structure. .Pp .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_init initializes an existing uninitialized .Vt BN_MONT_CTX . It is deprecated and dangerous: see .Sx CAVEATS . .Pp .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_set sets up the .Fa mont structure from the modulus .Fa m by precomputing its inverse and a value R. .Pp .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_copy copies the .Vt BN_MONT_CTX .Fa from to .Fa to . .Pp .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_free frees the components of the .Vt BN_MONT_CTX , and, if it was created by .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_new , also the structure itself. If .Fa mont is a .Dv NULL pointer, no action occurs. .Pp .Fn BN_mod_mul_montgomery computes .Pp .D1 Mont Ns Po Fa a , Fa b Pc := Fa a No * Fa b No * R^-1 .Pp and places the result in .Fa r . .Pp .Fn BN_from_montgomery performs the Montgomery reduction .Pp .D1 Fa r No = Fa a No * R^-1 .Pp .Fn BN_to_montgomery computes .Pp .D1 Mont Ns Po Fa a , No R^2 Pc = Fa a No * R .Pp Note that .Fa a must be non-negative and smaller than the modulus. .Pp For all functions, .Fa ctx is a previously allocated .Vt BN_CTX used for temporary variables. .Pp The .Vt BN_MONT_CTX structure is defined as follows: .Bd -literal 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; .Ed .Pp .Fn BN_to_montgomery is a macro. .Pp .Sy Warning : The inputs must be reduced modulo .Fa m , otherwise the result will be outside the expected range. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_new returns the newly allocated .Vt BN_MONT_CTX or .Dv NULL on error. .Pp For the other functions, 1 is returned for success or 0 on error. The error codes can be obtained by .Xr ERR_get_error 3 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr BN_add 3 , .Xr BN_CTX_new 3 , .Xr BN_new 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_new , .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_free , .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_set , .Fn BN_mod_mul_montgomery , .Fn BN_from_montgomery and .Fn BN_to_montgomery are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. .Pp .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_init and .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_copy were added in SSLeay 0.9.1b. .Sh CAVEATS .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_init must not be called on a context that was used previously, or memory used by the embedded .Vt BIGNUM structures is leaked immediately. Besides, it must not be called on a context created with .Fn BN_MONT_CTX_new , or the context itself will likely be leaked later. It can only be used on a static .Vt BN_MONT_CTX structure, on one located on the stack, or on one .Xr malloc 3 Ap ed manually, but all these options are discouraged because they will no longer work once .Vt BN_MONT_CTX is made opaque.
