Portable multiple-precision integer library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The interface is loosely based on XySSL's MPI library. The
|
||
|
|
implementation was written from scratch based on the algorithms
|
||
|
|
described in Menezes, van Oorschot and Vanstone: _Handbook of Applied
|
||
|
|
Cryptography_, CRC Press, 1996. The full text of the HAC is available
|
||
|
|
for personal use at http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This implementation sacrifices performance for portability and
|
||
|
|
readability, but attempts have been made to structure it in such a way
|
||
|
|
that critical portions can easily be replaced with machine-dependent
|
||
|
|
optimized versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The code assumes a 64-bit machine or a 32-bit machine where 64-bit
|
||
|
|
integer arithmetic is supported but not necessarily efficient; 64-bit
|
||
|
|
operations are used only to simplify overflow handling.
