=head1 DESCRIPTION

BN_add() adds I<a> and I<b> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a+b>).
I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>.

BN_sub() subtracts I<b> from I<a> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a-b>).
I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>.

BN_mul() multiplies I<a> and I<b> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a*b>).
I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>.
For multiplication by powers of 2, use L<BN_lshift(3)>.

BN_sqr() takes the square of I<a> and places the result in I<r>
(C<r=a^2>). I<r> and I<a> may be the same B<BIGNUM>.
This function is faster than BN_mul(r,a,a).

BN_div() divides I<a> by I<d> and places the result in I<dv> and the
remainder in I<rem> (C<dv=a/d, rem=a%d>). Either of I<dv> and I<rem> may
be B<NULL>, in which case the respective value is not returned.
The result is rounded towards zero; thus if I<a> is negative, the
remainder will be zero or negative.
For division by powers of 2, use BN_rshift(3).

BN_mod() corresponds to BN_div() with I<dv> set to B<NULL>.

BN_nnmod() reduces I<a> modulo I<m> and places the nonnegative
remainder in I<r>.

BN_mod_add() adds I<a> to I<b> modulo I<m> and places the nonnegative
result in I<r>.

BN_mod_sub() subtracts I<b> from I<a> modulo I<m> and places the
nonnegative result in I<r>.

BN_mod_mul() multiplies I<a> by I<b> and finds the nonnegative
remainder respective to modulus I<m> (C<r=(a*b) mod m>). I<r> may be
the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>. For more efficient algorithms for
repeated computations using the same modulus, see
L<BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)> and
L<BN_mod_mul_reciprocal(3)>.

BN_mod_sqr() takes the square of I<a> modulo B<m> and places the
result in I<r>.

BN_mod_sqrt() returns the modular square root of I<a> such that
C<in^2 = a (mod p)>. The modulus I<p> must be a
prime, otherwise an error or an incorrect "result" will be returned.
The result is stored into I<in> which can be NULL. The result will be
newly allocated in that case.

BN_exp() raises I<a> to the I<p>-th power and places the result in I<r>
(C<r=a^p>). This function is faster than repeated applications of
BN_mul().

BN_mod_exp() computes I<a> to the I<p>-th power modulo I<m> (C<r=a^p %
m>). This function uses less time and space than BN_exp(). Do not call this
function when B<m> is even and any of the parameters have the
B<BN_FLG_CONSTTIME> flag set.

BN_gcd() computes the greatest common divisor of I<a> and I<b> and
places the result in I<r>. I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or
I<b>.

For all functions, I<ctx> is a previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for
temporary variables; see L<BN_CTX_new(3)>.

Unless noted otherwise, the result B<BIGNUM> must be different from
the arguments.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

The BN_mod_sqrt() returns the result (possibly incorrect if I<p> is
not a prime), or NULL.

For all remaining functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error. The return
value should always be checked (e.g., C<if (!BN_add(r,a,b)) goto err;>).
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
