DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This page documents the internal functions used by the
       OpenSSL BIGNUM implementation. They are described here to
       facilitate debugging and extending the library. They are
       not to be used by applications.

       The BIGNUM structure    [Toc]    [Back]

        typedef struct bignum_st
               {
               int  top;       /* index of last used d (most significant word) */
               BN_ULONG *d;  /* pointer to an  array  of  'BITS2'
bit chunks */
               int max;      /* size of the d array */
               int neg;      /* sign */
               } BIGNUM;

       The big number is stored in d, a malloc()ed array of
       BN_ULONGs, least significant first. A BN_ULONG can be
       either 16, 32 or 64 bits in size (BITS2), depending on the
       'number of bits' specified in "openssl/bn.h".

       max is the size of the d array that has been allocated.
       top is the 'last' entry being used, so for a value of 4,
       bn.d[0]=4 and bn.top=1.  neg is 1 if the number is negative.
  When a BIGNUM is 0, the d field can be NULL and top
       == 0.

       Various routines in this library require the use of temporary
 BIGNUM variables during their execution.  Since
       dynamic memory allocation to create BIGNUMs is rather
       expensive when used in conjunction with repeated subroutine
 calls, the BN_CTX structure is used.  This structure
       contains BN_CTX_NUM BIGNUMs, see BN_CTX_start(3).

       Low-level arithmetic operations    [Toc]    [Back]

       These functions are implemented in C and for several platforms
 in assembly language:

       bn_mul_words(rp, ap, num, w) operates on the num word
       arrays rp and ap.  It computes ap * w, places the result
       in rp, and returns the high word (carry).

       bn_mul_add_words(rp, ap, num, w) operates on the num word
       arrays rp and ap.  It computes ap * w + rp, places the
       result in rp, and returns the high word (carry).
       bn_sqr_words(rp, ap, n) operates on the num word array ap
       and the 2*num word array ap.  It computes ap * ap
       word-wise, and places the low and high bytes of the result
       in rp.

       bn_div_words(h, l, d) divides the two word number (h,l) by
       d and returns the result.

       bn_add_words(rp, ap, bp, num) operates on the num word
       arrays ap, bp and rp.  It computes ap + bp, places the
       result in rp, and returns the high word (carry).

       bn_sub_words(rp, ap, bp, num) operates on the num word
       arrays ap, bp and rp.  It computes ap - bp, places the
       result in rp, and returns the carry (1 if bp > ap, 0 otherwise).


       bn_mul_comba4(r, a, b) operates on the 4 word arrays a and
       b and the 8 word array r.  It computes a*b and places the
       result in r.

       bn_mul_comba8(r, a, b) operates on the 8 word arrays a and
       b and the 16 word array r.  It computes a*b and places the
       result in r.

       bn_sqr_comba4(r, a, b) operates on the 4 word arrays a and
       b and the 8 word array r.

       bn_sqr_comba8(r, a, b) operates on the 8 word arrays a and
       b and the 16 word array r.

       The following functions are implemented in C:

       bn_cmp_words(a, b, n) operates on the n word arrays a and
       b.  It returns 1, 0 and -1 if a is greater than, equal and
       less than b.

       bn_mul_normal(r, a, na, b, nb) operates on the na word
       array a, the nb word array b and the na+nb word array r.
       It computes a*b and places the result in r.

       bn_mul_low_normal(r, a, b, n) operates on the n word
       arrays r, a and b.  It computes the n low words of a*b and
       places the result in r.

       bn_mul_recursive(r, a, b, n2, dna, dnb, t) operates on the
       word arrays a and b of length n2+dna and n2+dnb (dna and
       dnb are currently allowed to be 0 or negative) and the
       2*n2 word arrays r and t.  n2 must be a power of 2.  It
       computes a*b and places the result in r.

       bn_mul_part_recursive(r, a, b, n, tna, tnb, tmp) operates
       on the word arrays a and b of length n+tna and n+tnb and
       the 4*n word arrays r and tmp.
       bn_mul_low_recursive(r, a, b, n2, tmp) operates on the n2
       word arrays r and tmp and the n2/2 word arrays a and b.

       bn_mul_high(r, a, b, l, n2, tmp) operates on the n2 word
       arrays r, a, b and l (?) and the 3*n2 word array tmp.

       BN_mul() calls bn_mul_normal(), or an optimized implementation
 if the factors have the same size: bn_mul_comba8()
       is used if they are 8 words long, bn_mul_recursive() if
       they are larger than BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL and the size is
       an exact multiple of the word size, and bn_mul_part_recur-
       sive() for others that are larger than BN_MULL_SIZE_NOR-
       MAL.

       bn_sqr_normal(r, a, n, tmp) operates on the n word array a
       and the 2*n word arrays tmp and r.

       The implementations use the following macros which,
       depending on the architecture, may use "long long" C operations
 or inline assembler.  They are defined in
       "bn_lcl.h".

       mul(r, a, w, c) computes w*a+c and places the low word of
       the result in r and the high word in c.

       mul_add(r, a, w, c) computes w*a+r+c and places the low
       word of the result in r and the high word in c.

       sqr(r0, r1, a) computes a*a and places the low word of the
       result in r0 and the high word in r1.

       Size changes    [Toc]    [Back]

       bn_expand() ensures that b has enough space for a bits bit
       number.  bn_wexpand() ensures that b has enough space for
       an n word number.  If the number has to be expanded, both
       macros call bn_expand2(), which allocates a new d array
       and copies the data.  They return NULL on error, b otherwise.


       The bn_fix_top() macro reduces a->top to point to the most
       significant non-zero word when a has shrunk.

       Debugging    [Toc]    [Back]

       bn_check_top() verifies that "((a)->top >= 0 && (a)->top
       <= (a)->max)".  A violation will cause the program to
       abort.

       bn_print() prints a to stderr. bn_dump() prints n words at
       d (in reverse order, i.e. most significant word first) to
       stderr.

       bn_set_max() makes a a static number with a max of its
       current size.  This is used by bn_set_low() and
       bn_set_high() to make r a read-only BIGNUM that contains
       the n low or high words of a.

       If BN_DEBUG is not defined, bn_check_top(), bn_print(),
       bn_dump() and bn_set_max() are defined as empty macros.
