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.
