The basic type is .BR mpint , which points to an array of .BR mpdigit s, stored in little-endian order: .IP .EX typedef struct mpint mpint; struct mpint { int sign; /* +1 or -1 */ int size; /* allocated digits */ int top; /* significant digits */ mpdigit *p; char flags; }; .EE .PP The sign of 0 is +1. .PP The size of .B mpdigit is architecture-dependent and defined in .BR /$cputype/include/u.h . .BR Mpint s are dynamically allocated and must be explicitly freed. Operations grow the array of digits as needed. .PP In general, the result parameters are last in the argument list. .PP Routines that return an .B mpint will allocate the .B mpint if the result parameter is .BR nil . This includes .IR strtomp , .IR itomp , .IR uitomp , .IR btomp , and .IR dtomp . These functions, in addition to .I mpnew and .IR mpcopy , will return .B nil if the allocation fails. .PP Input and result parameters may point to the same .BR mpint . The routines check and copy where necessary. .PP .I Mpnew creates an .B mpint with an initial allocation of .I n bits. If .I n is zero, the allocation will be whatever was specified in the last call to .I mpsetminbits or to the initial value, 1056. .I Mpfree frees an .BR mpint . .I Mpbits grows the allocation of .I b to fit at least .I n bits. If .B b->top doesn't cover .I n bits, .I mpbits increases it to do so. Unless you are writing new basic operations, you can restrict yourself to .B mpnew(0) and .BR mpfree(b) . .PP .I Mpnorm normalizes the representation by trimming any high order zero digits. All routines except .B mpbits return normalized results. .PP .I Mpcopy creates a new .B mpint with the same value as .I b while .I mpassign sets the value of .I new to be that of .IR old . .PP .I Mprand creates an .I n bit random number using the generator .IR gen . .I Gen takes a pointer to a string of uchar's and the number to fill in. .PP .I Mpnrand uses .I gen to generate a uniform random number .IR x , .if t 0 ≤ \fIx\fR < \fIn\fR. .if n 0 ≤ x < n. .PP .I Strtomp and .I mptoa convert between .SM ASCII and .B mpint representations using the base indicated. Only the bases 2, 4, 8, 10, 16, 32, and 64 are supported. .IR Strtomp skips any leading spaces or tabs. .IR Strtomp 's scan stops when encountering a digit not valid in the base. If .I base is zero then C-style prefixes are interpreted to find the base: .B 0x for hexadecimal, .B 0b for binary and .B 0 for octal. Otherwise decimal is assumed. .I rptr is not zero, .I *rptr is set to point to the character immediately after the string converted. If the parse terminates before any digits are found, .I strtomp return .BR nil . .I Mptoa returns a pointer to the .SM ASCII filled buffer. If the parameter .I buf is .BR nil , the buffer is allocated. Setting .I base to zero uses hexadecimal default. .I Mpfmt can be used with .IR fmtinstall (2) and .IR print (2) to print .SM ASCII representations of .BR mpint s. The conventional verb is .LR B , for which .I mp.h provides a .LR pragma . The precision in the format string changes the base, defaulting to hexadecimal when omited. .PP .I Mptobe and .I mptole convert an .I mpint to a byte array. The former creates a big endian representation, the latter a little endian one. If the destination .I buf is not .BR nil , it specifies the buffer of length .I blen for the result. If the representation is less than .I blen bytes, the rest of the buffer is zero filled. If .I buf is .BR nil , then a buffer is allocated and a pointer to it is deposited in the location pointed to by .IR bufp . Sign is ignored in these conversions, i.e., the byte array version is always positive. .PP .I Mptober and .I mptolel fill .I blen lower bytes of an .I mpint into a fixed length byte array. .I Mptober fills the bytes right adjusted in big endian order so that the least significant byte is at .I buf[blen-1] while .I mptolel fills in little endian order; left adjusted; so that the least significat byte is filled into .IR buf[0] . .PP .IR Betomp , and .I letomp convert from a big or little endian byte array at .I buf of length .I blen to an .IR mpint . If .I b is not .IR nil , it refers to a preallocated .I mpint for the result. If .I b is .BR nil , a new integer is allocated and returned as the result. .PP The integer (and floating point) conversions are: .TF Mptouv .TP .I mptoui .BR mpint -> "unsigned int" .TP .I uitomp .BR "unsigned int" -> mpint .TP .I mptoi .BR mpint -> "int" .TP .I itomp .BR "int" -> mpint .TP .I mptouv .BR mpint -> "unsigned vlong" .TP .I uvtomp .BR "unsigned vlong" -> mpint .TP .I mptov .BR mpint -> "vlong" .TP .I vtomp .BR "vlong" -> mpint .TP .I mptod .BR mpint -> "double" .TP .I dtomp .BR "double" -> mpint .PD .PP When converting to the base integer types, if the integer is too large, the largest integer of the appropriate sign and size is returned. .PP When converting to and from floating point, results are rounded using IEEE 754 "round to nearest". If the integer is too large in magnitude, .I mptod returns infinity of the appropriate sign. .PP The mathematical functions are: .TF mpfactorial .TP .I mpadd .BR "sum = b1 + b2" . .TP .I mpmagadd .BR "sum = abs(b1) + abs(b2)" . .TP .I mpsub .BR "diff = b1 - b2" . .TP .I mpmagsub .BR "diff = abs(b1) - abs(b2)" . .TP .I mpleft .BR "res = b<<shift" . .TP .I mpright .BR "res = b>>shift" . .TP .I mpmul .BR "prod = b1*b2" . .TP .I mpexp if .I m is nil, .BR "res = b**e" . Otherwise, .BR "res = b**e mod m" . .TP .I mpmod .BR "remainder = b % m" . .TP .I mpdiv .BR "quotient = dividend/divisor" . .BR "remainder = dividend % divisor" . .TP .I mpcmp returns -1, 0, or +1 as .I b1 is less than, equal to, or greater than .IR b2 . .TP .I mpmagcmp the same as .I mpcmp but ignores the sign and just compares magnitudes. .TP .I mpsel assigns .I b1 to .I res when .I s is not zero, otherwise .I b2 is assigned to .IR res . .TP .I mpfactorial returns \fIn\fR!. .PD .PP Logical operations (treating negative numbers using two's complement): .TF mpxtend_ .TP .I mpand .BR "res = b1 & b2" . .TP .I mpbic .BR "res = b1 & ~b2" . .TP .I mpor .BR "res = b1 | b2" . .TP .I mpxor .BR "res = b1 ^ b2" . .TP .I mpnot .BR "res = ~b1" . .TP .I mpasr .BR "res = b>>shift" (\fImpasr\fR, unlike .IR mpright , uses two's complement). .TP .I mptrunc truncates .I b to .I n bits and stores the result in .IR res . The result is never negative. .TP .I mpxtend truncates .I b to .I n bits, sign extends the MSB and stores the result in .IR res . .PD .PP Modular arithmetic: .TF mpmodmul_ .TP .I mpmodadd .BR "sum = b1+b2 mod m" . .TP .I mpmodsub .BR "diff = b1-b2 mod m" . .TP .I mpmodmul .BR "prod = b1*b2 mod m" . .PD .PP .I Mpextendedgcd computes the greatest common denominator, .IR d , of .I a and .IR b . It also computes .I x and .I y such that .BR "a*x + b*y = d" . Both .I a and .I b are required to be positive. If called with negative arguments, it will return a gcd of 0. .PP .I Mpinvert computes the multiplicative inverse of .I b .B mod .IR m . .PP .I Mpsignif returns the number of significant bits in .IR b . .I Mplowbits0 returns the number of consecutive zero bits at the low end of the significant bits. For example, for 0x14, .I mpsignif returns 5 and .I mplowbits0 returns 2. For 0, .I mpsignif and .I mplowbits0 both return 0. .PP The remaining routines all work on arrays of .B mpdigit rather than .BR mpint 's. They are the basis of all the other routines. They are separated out to allow them to be rewritten in assembler for each architecture. There is also a portable C version for each one. .TF mpvecdigmuladd .TP .I mpdigdiv .BR "quotient = dividend[0:1] / divisor" . .TP .I mpvecadd .BR "sum[0:alen] = a[0:alen-1] + b[0:blen-1]" . We assume alen >= blen and that sum has room for alen+1 digits. .TP .I mpvecsub .BR "diff[0:alen-1] = a[0:alen-1] - b[0:blen-1]" . We assume that alen >= blen and that diff has room for alen digits. .TP .I mpvecdigmuladd .BR "p[0:n] += m * b[0:n-1]" . This multiplies a an array of digits times a scalar and adds it to another array. We assume p has room for n+1 digits. .TP .I mpvecdigmulsub .BR "p[0:n] -= m * b[0:n-1]" . This multiplies a an array of digits times a scalar and subtracts it from another array. We assume p has room for n+1 digits. It returns +1 is the result is positive and -1 if negative. .TP .I mpvecmul .BR "p[0:alen+blen] = a[0:alen-1] * b[0:blen-1]" . We assume that p has room for alen+blen+1 digits. .TP .I mpveccmp This returns -1, 0, or +1 as a - b is negative, 0, or positive. .PD .PP .IR mptwo , .I mpone and .I mpzero are the constants 2, 1 and 0. These cannot be freed. .SS "Time invariant computation" .PP In the field of cryptography, it is sometimes neccesary to implement algorithms such that the runtime of the algorithm is not depdenent on the input data. This library provides partial support for time invariant computation with the .I MPtimesafe flag that can be set on input or destination operands to request timing safe operation. The result of a timing safe operation will also have the .I MPtimesafe flag set and is not normalized. .SS "Chinese remainder theorem .PP When computing in a non-prime modulus, .IR n, it is possible to perform the computations on the residues modulo the prime factors of .I n instead. Since these numbers are smaller, multiplication and exponentiation can be much faster. .PP .I Crtin computes the residues of .I x and returns them in a newly allocated structure: .IP .EX typedef struct CRTres CRTres; { int n; /* number of residues */ mpint *r[n]; /* residues */ }; .EE .PP .I Crtout takes a residue representation of a number and converts it back into the number. It also frees the residue structure. .PP .I Crepre saves a copy of the factors and precomputes the constants necessary for converting the residue form back into a number modulo the product of the factors. It returns a newly allocated structure containing values. .PP .I Crtprefree and .I crtresfree free .I CRTpre and .I CRTres structures respectively. .SH SOURCE .B /sys/src/libmp
