DESCRIPTION
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
typedef struct bignum_st BIGNUM;
struct bignum_st
{
BN_ULONG *d; /* Pointer to an array of 'BN_BITS2' bit chunks. */
int top; /* Index of last used d +1. */
/* The next are internal book keeping for bn_expand. */
int dmax; /* Size of the d array. */
int neg; /* one if the number is negative */
int flags;
};
The integer value is stored in d, a malloc()ed array of words
(BN_ULONG), least significant word first. A BN_ULONG can be either 16,
32 or 64 bits in size, depending on the 'number of bits' (BITS2)
specified in "openssl/bn.h".
dmax is the size of the d array that has been allocated. top is the
number of words 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.
flags is a bit field of flags which are defined in "openssl/bn.h". The
flags begin with BN_FLG_. The macros BN_set_flags(b,n) and
BN_get_flags(b,n) exist to enable or fetch flag(s) n from BIGNUM
structure b.
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
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_recursive() for others that are larger than
BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL.
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
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 plus one when a has shrunk.
Debugging
bn_check_top() verifies that "((a)->top >= 0 && (a)->top <=
(a)->dmax)". 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 dmax 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.
