=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions implement Montgomery multiplication. They are used
automatically when L<BN_mod_exp(3)|BN_mod_exp(3)> is called with suitable input,
but they may be useful when several operations are to be performed
using the same modulus.
BN_MONT_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a B<BN_MONT_CTX> structure.
BN_MONT_CTX_init() initializes an existing uninitialized B<BN_MONT_CTX>.
BN_MONT_CTX_set() sets up the B<mont> structure from the modulus B<m>
by precomputing its inverse and a value R.
BN_MONT_CTX_copy() copies the B<BN_MONT_CTX> B<from> to B<to>.
BN_MONT_CTX_free() frees the components of the B<BN_MONT_CTX>, and, if
it was created by BN_MONT_CTX_new(), also the structure itself.
BN_mod_mul_montgomery() computes Mont(B<a>,B<b>):=B<a>*B<b>*R^-1 and places
the result in B<r>.
BN_from_montgomery() performs the Montgomery reduction B<r> = B<a>*R^-1.
BN_to_montgomery() computes Mont(B<a>,R^2), i.e. B<a>*R.
For all functions, B<ctx> is a previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for
temporary variables.
The B<BN_MONT_CTX> structure is defined as follows:
typedef struct bn_mont_ctx_st
{
int ri; /* number of bits in R */
BIGNUM RR; /* R^2 (used to convert to Montgomery form) */
BIGNUM N; /* The modulus */
BIGNUM Ni; /* R*(1/R mod N) - N*Ni = 1
* (Ni is only stored for bignum algorithm) */
BN_ULONG n0; /* least significant word of Ni */
int flags;
} BN_MONT_CTX;
BN_to_montgomery() is a macro.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BN_MONT_CTX_new() returns the newly allocated B<BN_MONT_CTX>, and NULL
on error.
BN_MONT_CTX_init() and BN_MONT_CTX_free() have no return values.
For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.

=head1 HISTORY
BN_MONT_CTX_new(), BN_MONT_CTX_free(), BN_MONT_CTX_set(),
BN_mod_mul_montgomery(), BN_from_montgomery() and BN_to_montgomery()
are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
BN_MONT_CTX_init() and BN_MONT_CTX_copy() were added in SSLeay 0.9.1b.
