DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This library performs arithmetic operations on integers of
       arbitrary size. It was written for use in public key cryptography,
 such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman.

       It uses dynamic memory allocation for storing its data
       structures.  That means that there is no limit on the size
       of the numbers manipulated by these functions, but return
       values must always be checked in case a memory allocation
       error has occurred.

       The basic object in this library is a BIGNUM. It is used
       to hold a single large integer. This type should be considered
 opaque and fields should not be modified or
       accessed directly.

       The creation of BIGNUM objects is described in BN_new(3);
       BN_add(3) describes most of the arithmetic operations.
       Comparison is described in BN_cmp(3); BN_zero(3) describes
       certain assignments, BN_rand(3) the generation of random
       numbers, BN_generate_prime(3) deals with prime numbers and
       BN_set_bit(3) with bit operations. The conversion of
       BIGNUMs  to external formats is described in BN_bn2bin(3).
