.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBN_add()\fR adds \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR and places the result in \fIr\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=a+b\*(C'\fR).
\&\fIr\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fIa\fR or \fIb\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_sub()\fR subtracts \fIb\fR from \fIa\fR and places the result in \fIr\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=a\-b\*(C'\fR).
\&\fIr\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fIa\fR or \fIb\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mul()\fR multiplies \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR and places the result in \fIr\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=a*b\*(C'\fR).
\&\fIr\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fIa\fR or \fIb\fR.
For multiplication by powers of 2, use \fBBN_lshift\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBBN_sqr()\fR takes the square of \fIa\fR and places the result in \fIr\fR
(\f(CW\*(C`r=a^2\*(C'\fR). \fIr\fR and \fIa\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR.
This function is faster than BN_mul(r,a,a).
.PP
\&\fBBN_div()\fR divides \fIa\fR by \fId\fR and places the result in \fIdv\fR and the
remainder in \fIrem\fR (\f(CW\*(C`dv=a/d, rem=a%d\*(C'\fR). Either of \fIdv\fR and \fIrem\fR may
be \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, in which case the respective value is not returned.
The result is rounded towards zero; thus if \fIa\fR is negative, the
remainder will be zero or negative.
For division by powers of 2, use \fBBN_rshift\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod()\fR corresponds to \fBBN_div()\fR with \fIdv\fR set to \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_nnmod()\fR reduces \fIa\fR modulo \fIm\fR and places the nonnegative
remainder in \fIr\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_add()\fR adds \fIa\fR to \fIb\fR modulo \fIm\fR and places the nonnegative
result in \fIr\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_sub()\fR subtracts \fIb\fR from \fIa\fR modulo \fIm\fR and places the
nonnegative result in \fIr\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_mul()\fR multiplies \fIa\fR by \fIb\fR and finds the nonnegative
remainder respective to modulus \fIm\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=(a*b) mod m\*(C'\fR). \fIr\fR may be
the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fIa\fR or \fIb\fR. For more efficient algorithms for
repeated computations using the same modulus, see
\&\fBBN_mod_mul_montgomery\fR\|(3) and
\&\fBBN_mod_mul_reciprocal\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_sqr()\fR takes the square of \fIa\fR modulo \fBm\fR and places the
result in \fIr\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_sqrt()\fR returns the modular square root of \fIa\fR such that
\&\f(CW\*(C`in^2 = a (mod p)\*(C'\fR. The modulus \fIp\fR must be a
prime, otherwise an error or an incorrect \*(L"result\*(R" will be returned.
The result is stored into \fIin\fR which can be \s-1NULL.\s0 The result will be
newly allocated in that case.
.PP
\&\fBBN_exp()\fR raises \fIa\fR to the \fIp\fR\-th power and places the result in \fIr\fR
(\f(CW\*(C`r=a^p\*(C'\fR). This function is faster than repeated applications of
\&\fBBN_mul()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_exp()\fR computes \fIa\fR to the \fIp\fR\-th power modulo \fIm\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=a^p %
m\*(C'\fR). This function uses less time and space than \fBBN_exp()\fR. Do not call this
function when \fBm\fR is even and any of the parameters have the
\&\fB\s-1BN_FLG_CONSTTIME\s0\fR flag set.
.PP
\&\fBBN_gcd()\fR computes the greatest common divisor of \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR and
places the result in \fIr\fR. \fIr\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fIa\fR or
\&\fIb\fR.
.PP
For all functions, \fIctx\fR is a previously allocated \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR used for
temporary variables; see \fBBN_CTX_new\fR\|(3).
.PP
Unless noted otherwise, the result \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR must be different from
the arguments.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The \fBBN_mod_sqrt()\fR returns the result (possibly incorrect if \fIp\fR is
not a prime), or \s-1NULL.\s0
.PP
For all remaining functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error. The return
value should always be checked (e.g., \f(CW\*(C`if (!BN_add(r,a,b)) goto err;\*(C'\fR).
The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
