.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions implement Montgomery multiplication.
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_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_set_locked
is a wrapper around
.Fn BN_MONT_CTX_new
and
.Fn BN_MONT_CTX_set
that is useful if more than one thread intends to use the same
.Vt BN_MONT_CTX
and none of these threads is exclusively responsible for creating
and initializing the context.
.Fn BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked
first acquires the specified
.Fa lock
using
.Xr CRYPTO_lock 3 .
If
.Pf * Fa pmont
already differs from
.Dv NULL ,
no action occurs.
Otherwise, a new
.Vt BN_MONT_CTX
is allocated with
.Fn BN_MONT_CTX_new ,
set up with
.Fn BN_MONT_CTX_set ,
and a pointer to it is stored in
.Pf * Fa pmont .
Finally, the
.Fa lock
is released.
.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
.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
.Fn BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked
returns a pointer to the existing or newly created context 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 .
