+v1.2.0
+       -- A huge refactoring of the library happened - renaming,
+          deprecating and replacing existing functions by improved API's.
+
+          All deprecated functions, macros and symbols are only marked as such
+          so this version is still API and ABI compatible to v1.x.
+
+       -- Daniel Mendler was pushing for those changes and contributing a load of patches,
+          refactorings, code reviews and whatnotelse.
+       -- Christoph Zurnieden re-worked internals of the library, improved the performance,
+          did code reviews and wrote documentation.
+       -- Francois Perrad did some refactoring and took again care of linting the sources and
+          provided all fixes.
+       -- Jan Nijtmans, Karel Miko and Joachim Breitner contributed various patches.
+
+       -- Private symbols can now be hidden for the shared library builds, disabled by default.
+       -- All API's follow a single code style, are prefixed the same etc.
+       -- Unified, safer and improved API's
+       -- Less magic numbers - return values (where appropriate) and most flags are now enums,
+          this was implemented in a backwards compatible way where return values were int.
+       -- API's with return values are now by default marked as "warn on unsused result", this
+          can be disabled if required (which will most likely hide bugs), c.f. MP_WUR in tommath.h
+       -- Provide a whole set of setters&getters for different primitive types (long, uint32_t, etc.)
+       -- All those primitive setters are now optimized.
+       -- It's possible to automatically tune the cutoff values for Karatsuba&Toom-Cook
+       -- The custom allocators which were formerly known as XMALLOC(), XFREE() etc. are now available
+          as MP_MALLOC(), MP_REALLOC(), MP_CALLOC() and MP_FREE(). MP_REALLOC() and MP_FREE() now also
+          provide the allocated size to ease the usage of simple allocators without tracking.
+       -- Building is now also possible with MSVC 2015, 2017 and 2019 (use makefile.msvc)
+       -- Added mp_decr() and mp_incr()
+       -- Added mp_log_u32()
+       -- Improved prime-checking
+       -- Improved Toom-Cook multiplication
+       -- Removed the LTM book (`make docs` now builds the user manual)

-\chapter*{Prefaces}
-When I tell people about my LibTom projects and that I release them as public domain they are often puzzled.
-They ask why I did it and especially why I continue to work on them for free.  The best I can explain it is ``Because I can.''
-Which seems odd and perhaps too terse for adult conversation. I often qualify it with ``I am able, I am willing.'' which
-perhaps explains it better.  I am the first to admit there is not anything that special with what I have done.  Perhaps
-others can see that too and then we would have a society to be proud of.  My LibTom projects are what I am doing to give
-back to society in the form of tools and knowledge that can help others in their endeavours.
-
-I started writing this book because it was the most logical task to further my goal of open academia.  The LibTomMath source
-code itself was written to be easy to follow and learn from.  There are times, however, where pure C source code does not
-explain the algorithms properly.  Hence this book.  The book literally starts with the foundation of the library and works
-itself outwards to the more complicated algorithms.  The use of both pseudo--code and verbatim source code provides a duality
-of ``theory'' and ``practice'' that the computer science students of the world shall appreciate.  I never deviate too far
-from relatively straightforward algebra and I hope that this book can be a valuable learning asset.
-
-This book and indeed much of the LibTom projects would not exist in their current form if it was not for a plethora
-of kind people donating their time, resources and kind words to help support my work.  Writing a text of significant
-length (along with the source code) is a tiresome and lengthy process.  Currently the LibTom project is four years old,
-comprises of literally thousands of users and over 100,000 lines of source code, TeX and other material.  People like Mads and Greg
-were there at the beginning to encourage me to work well.  It is amazing how timely validation from others can boost morale to
-continue the project. Definitely my parents were there for me by providing room and board during the many months of work in 2003.
-
-To my many friends whom I have met through the years I thank you for the good times and the words of encouragement.  I hope I
-honour your kind gestures with this project.
-
-Open Source.  Open Academia.  Open Minds.

-\newpage
-I found the opportunity to work with Tom appealing for several reasons, not only could I broaden my own horizons, but also
-contribute to educate others facing the problem of having to handle big number mathematical calculations.
-
-This book is Tom's child and he has been caring and fostering the project ever since the beginning with a clear mind of
-how he wanted the project to turn out. I have helped by proofreading the text and we have had several discussions about
-the layout and language used.
-
-I hold a masters degree in cryptography from the University of Southern Denmark and have always been interested in the
-practical aspects of cryptography.
-
-Having worked in the security consultancy business for several years in S\~{a}o Paulo, Brazil, I have been in touch with a
-great deal of work in which multiple precision mathematics was needed. Understanding the possibilities for speeding up
-multiple precision calculations is often very important since we deal with outdated machine architecture where modular
-reductions, for example, become painfully slow.
-
-This text is for people who stop and wonder when first examining algorithms such as RSA for the first time and asks
-themselves, ``You tell me this is only secure for large numbers, fine; but how do you implement these numbers?''

-It's all because I broke my leg. That just happened to be at about the same time that Tom asked for someone to review the section of the book about
-Karatsuba multiplication. I was laid up, alone and immobile, and thought ``Why not?'' I vaguely knew what Karatsuba multiplication was, but not
-really, so I thought I could help, learn, and stop myself from watching daytime cable TV, all at once.
-
-At the time of writing this, I've still not met Tom or Mads in meatspace. I've been following Tom's progress since his first splash on the
-sci.crypt Usenet news group. I watched him go from a clueless newbie, to the cryptographic equivalent of a reformed smoker, to a real
-contributor to the field, over a period of about two years. I've been impressed with his obvious intelligence, and astounded by his productivity.
-Of course, he's young enough to be my own child, so he doesn't have my problems with staying awake.
-
-When I reviewed that single section of the book, in its very earliest form, I was very pleasantly surprised. So I decided to collaborate more fully,
-and at least review all of it, and perhaps write some bits too. There's still a long way to go with it, and I have watched a number of close
-friends go through the mill of publication, so I think that the way to go is longer than Tom thinks it is. Nevertheless, it's a good effort,
-and I'm pleased to be involved with it.

-\section{Multiple Precision Arithmetic}
-
-\subsection{What is Multiple Precision Arithmetic?}
-When we think of long-hand arithmetic such as addition or multiplication we rarely consider the fact that we instinctively
-raise or lower the precision of the numbers we are dealing with.  For example, in decimal we almost immediate can
-reason that $7$ times $6$ is $42$.  However, $42$ has two digits of precision as opposed to one digit we started with.
-Further multiplications of say $3$ result in a larger precision result $126$.  In these few examples we have multiple
-precisions for the numbers we are working with.  Despite the various levels of precision a single subset\footnote{With the occasional optimization.}
- of algorithms can be designed to accomodate them.
-
-By way of comparison a fixed or single precision operation would lose precision on various operations.  For example, in
-the decimal system with fixed precision $6 \cdot 7 = 2$.
-
-Essentially at the heart of computer based multiple precision arithmetic are the same long-hand algorithms taught in
-schools to manually add, subtract, multiply and divide.
-
-\subsection{The Need for Multiple Precision Arithmetic}
-The most prevalent need for multiple precision arithmetic, often referred to as ``bignum'' math, is within the implementation
-of public-key cryptography algorithms.   Algorithms such as RSA \cite{RSAREF} and Diffie-Hellman \cite{DHREF} require
-integers of significant magnitude to resist known cryptanalytic attacks.  For example, at the time of this writing a
-typical RSA modulus would be at least greater than $10^{309}$.  However, modern programming languages such as ISO C \cite{ISOC} and
-Java \cite{JAVA} only provide instrinsic support for integers which are relatively small and single precision.

-\caption{Typical Data Types for the C Programming Language}
-\label{fig:ISOC}
-\end{figure}
-
-The largest data type guaranteed to be provided by the ISO C programming
-language\footnote{As per the ISO C standard.  However, each compiler vendor is allowed to augment the precision as they
-see fit.}  can only represent values up to $10^{19}$ as shown in figure \ref{fig:ISOC}. On its own the C language is
-insufficient to accomodate the magnitude required for the problem at hand.  An RSA modulus of magnitude $10^{19}$ could be
-trivially factored\footnote{A Pollard-Rho factoring would take only $2^{16}$ time.} on the average desktop computer,
-rendering any protocol based on the algorithm insecure.  Multiple precision algorithms solve this very problem by
-extending the range of representable integers while using single precision data types.
-
-Most advancements in fast multiple precision arithmetic stem from the need for faster and more efficient cryptographic
-primitives.  Faster modular reduction and exponentiation algorithms such as Barrett's algorithm, which have appeared in
-various cryptographic journals, can render algorithms such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman more efficient.  In fact, several
-major companies such as RSA Security, Certicom and Entrust have built entire product lines on the implementation and
-deployment of efficient algorithms.
-
-However, cryptography is not the only field of study that can benefit from fast multiple precision integer routines.
-Another auxiliary use of multiple precision integers is high precision floating point data types.
-The basic IEEE \cite{IEEE} standard floating point type is made up of an integer mantissa $q$, an exponent $e$ and a sign bit $s$.
-Numbers are given in the form $n = q \cdot b^e \cdot -1^s$ where $b = 2$ is the most common base for IEEE.  Since IEEE
-floating point is meant to be implemented in hardware the precision of the mantissa is often fairly small
-(\textit{23, 48 and 64 bits}).  The mantissa is merely an integer and a multiple precision integer could be used to create
-a mantissa of much larger precision than hardware alone can efficiently support.  This approach could be useful where
-scientific applications must minimize the total output error over long calculations.
-
-Yet another use for large integers is within arithmetic on polynomials of large characteristic (i.e. $GF(p)[x]$ for large $p$).
-In fact the library discussed within this text has already been used to form a polynomial basis library\footnote{See \url{http://poly.libtomcrypt.org} for more details.}.
-
-\subsection{Benefits of Multiple Precision Arithmetic}
-\index{precision}
-The benefit of multiple precision representations over single or fixed precision representations is that
-no precision is lost while representing the result of an operation which requires excess precision.  For example,
-the product of two $n$-bit integers requires at least $2n$ bits of precision to be represented faithfully.  A multiple
-precision algorithm would augment the precision of the destination to accomodate the result while a single precision system
-would truncate excess bits to maintain a fixed level of precision.
-
-It is possible to implement algorithms which require large integers with fixed precision algorithms.  For example, elliptic
-curve cryptography (\textit{ECC}) is often implemented on smartcards by fixing the precision of the integers to the maximum
-size the system will ever need.  Such an approach can lead to vastly simpler algorithms which can accomodate the
-integers required even if the host platform cannot natively accomodate them\footnote{For example, the average smartcard
-processor has an 8 bit accumulator.}.  However, as efficient as such an approach may be, the resulting source code is not
-normally very flexible.  It cannot, at runtime, accomodate inputs of higher magnitude than the designer anticipated.
-
-Multiple precision algorithms have the most overhead of any style of arithmetic.  For the the most part the
-overhead can be kept to a minimum with careful planning, but overall, it is not well suited for most memory starved
-platforms.  However, multiple precision algorithms do offer the most flexibility in terms of the magnitude of the
-inputs.  That is, the same algorithms based on multiple precision integers can accomodate any reasonable size input
-without the designer's explicit forethought.  This leads to lower cost of ownership for the code as it only has to
-be written and tested once.
-
-\section{Purpose of This Text}
-The purpose of this text is to instruct the reader regarding how to implement efficient multiple precision algorithms.
-That is to not only explain a limited subset of the core theory behind the algorithms but also the various ``house keeping''
-elements that are neglected by authors of other texts on the subject.  Several well reknowned texts \cite{TAOCPV2,HAC}
-give considerably detailed explanations of the theoretical aspects of algorithms and often very little information
-regarding the practical implementation aspects.
-
-In most cases how an algorithm is explained and how it is actually implemented are two very different concepts.  For
-example, the Handbook of Applied Cryptography (\textit{HAC}), algorithm 14.7 on page 594, gives a relatively simple
-algorithm for performing multiple precision integer addition.  However, the description lacks any discussion concerning
-the fact that the two integer inputs may be of differing magnitudes.  As a result the implementation is not as simple
-as the text would lead people to believe.  Similarly the division routine (\textit{algorithm 14.20, pp. 598}) does not
-discuss how to handle sign or handle the dividend's decreasing magnitude in the main loop (\textit{step \#3}).
-
-Both texts also do not discuss several key optimal algorithms required such as ``Comba'' and Karatsuba multipliers
-and fast modular inversion, which we consider practical oversights.  These optimal algorithms are vital to achieve
-any form of useful performance in non-trivial applications.
-
-To solve this problem the focus of this text is on the practical aspects of implementing a multiple precision integer
-package.  As a case study the ``LibTomMath''\footnote{Available at \url{http://math.libtomcrypt.com}} package is used
-to demonstrate algorithms with real implementations\footnote{In the ISO C programming language.} that have been field
-tested and work very well.  The LibTomMath library is freely available on the Internet for all uses and this text
-discusses a very large portion of the inner workings of the library.
-
-The algorithms that are presented will always include at least one ``pseudo-code'' description followed
-by the actual C source code that implements the algorithm.  The pseudo-code can be used to implement the same
-algorithm in other programming languages as the reader sees fit.
-
-This text shall also serve as a walkthrough of the creation of multiple precision algorithms from scratch.  Showing
-the reader how the algorithms fit together as well as where to start on various taskings.
-
-\section{Discussion and Notation}
-\subsection{Notation}
-A multiple precision integer of $n$-digits shall be denoted as $x = (x_{n-1}, \ldots, x_1, x_0)_{ \beta }$ and represent
-the integer $x \equiv \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} x_i\beta^i$.  The elements of the array $x$ are said to be the radix $\beta$ digits
-of the integer.  For example, $x = (1,2,3)_{10}$ would represent the integer
-$1\cdot 10^2 + 2\cdot10^1 + 3\cdot10^0 = 123$.
-
-\index{mp\_int}
-The term ``mp\_int'' shall refer to a composite structure which contains the digits of the integer it represents, as well
-as auxilary data required to manipulate the data.  These additional members are discussed further in section
-\ref{sec:MPINT}.  For the purposes of this text a ``multiple precision integer'' and an ``mp\_int'' are assumed to be
-synonymous.  When an algorithm is specified to accept an mp\_int variable it is assumed the various auxliary data members
-are present as well.  An expression of the type \textit{variablename.item} implies that it should evaluate to the
-member named ``item'' of the variable.  For example, a string of characters may have a member ``length'' which would
-evaluate to the number of characters in the string.  If the string $a$ equals ``hello'' then it follows that
-$a.length = 5$.
-
-For certain discussions more generic algorithms are presented to help the reader understand the final algorithm used
-to solve a given problem.  When an algorithm is described as accepting an integer input it is assumed the input is
-a plain integer with no additional multiple-precision members.  That is, algorithms that use integers as opposed to
-mp\_ints as inputs do not concern themselves with the housekeeping operations required such as memory management.  These
-algorithms will be used to establish the relevant theory which will subsequently be used to describe a multiple
-precision algorithm to solve the same problem.
-
-\subsection{Precision Notation}
-The variable $\beta$ represents the radix of a single digit of a multiple precision integer and
-must be of the form $q^p$ for $q, p \in \Z^+$.  A single precision variable must be able to represent integers in
-the range $0 \le x < q \beta$ while a double precision variable must be able to represent integers in the range
-$0 \le x < q \beta^2$.  The extra radix-$q$ factor allows additions and subtractions to proceed without truncation of the
-carry.  Since all modern computers are binary, it is assumed that $q$ is two.
-
-\index{mp\_digit} \index{mp\_word}
-Within the source code that will be presented for each algorithm, the data type \textbf{mp\_digit} will represent
-a single precision integer type, while, the data type \textbf{mp\_word} will represent a double precision integer type.  In
-several algorithms (notably the Comba routines) temporary results will be stored in arrays of double precision mp\_words.
-For the purposes of this text $x_j$ will refer to the $j$'th digit of a single precision array and $\hat x_j$ will refer to
-the $j$'th digit of a double precision array.  Whenever an expression is to be assigned to a double precision
-variable it is assumed that all single precision variables are promoted to double precision during the evaluation.
-Expressions that are assigned to a single precision variable are truncated to fit within the precision of a single
-precision data type.
-
-For example, if $\beta = 10^2$ a single precision data type may represent a value in the
-range $0 \le x < 10^3$, while a double precision data type may represent a value in the range $0 \le x < 10^5$.  Let
-$a = 23$ and $b = 49$ represent two single precision variables.  The single precision product shall be written
-as $c \leftarrow a \cdot b$ while the double precision product shall be written as $\hat c \leftarrow a \cdot b$.
-In this particular case, $\hat c = 1127$ and $c = 127$.  The most significant digit of the product would not fit
-in a single precision data type and as a result $c \ne \hat c$.
-
-\subsection{Algorithm Inputs and Outputs}
-Within the algorithm descriptions all variables are assumed to be scalars of either single or double precision
-as indicated.  The only exception to this rule is when variables have been indicated to be of type mp\_int.  This
-distinction is important as scalars are often used as array indicies and various other counters.
-
-\subsection{Mathematical Expressions}
-The $\lfloor \mbox{ } \rfloor$ brackets imply an expression truncated to an integer not greater than the expression
-itself.  For example, $\lfloor 5.7 \rfloor = 5$.  Similarly the $\lceil \mbox{ } \rceil$ brackets imply an expression
-rounded to an integer not less than the expression itself.  For example, $\lceil 5.1 \rceil = 6$.  Typically when
-the $/$ division symbol is used the intention is to perform an integer division with truncation.  For example,
-$5/2 = 2$ which will often be written as $\lfloor 5/2 \rfloor = 2$ for clarity.  When an expression is written as a
-fraction a real value division is implied, for example ${5 \over 2} = 2.5$.
-
-The norm of a multiple precision integer, for example $\vert \vert x \vert \vert$, will be used to represent the number of digits in the representation
-of the integer.  For example, $\vert \vert 123 \vert \vert = 3$ and $\vert \vert 79452 \vert \vert = 5$.
-
-\subsection{Work Effort}
-\index{big-Oh}
-To measure the efficiency of the specified algorithms, a modified big-Oh notation is used.  In this system all
-single precision operations are considered to have the same cost\footnote{Except where explicitly noted.}.
-That is a single precision addition, multiplication and division are assumed to take the same time to
-complete.  While this is generally not true in practice, it will simplify the discussions considerably.
-
-Some algorithms have slight advantages over others which is why some constants will not be removed in
-the notation.  For example, a normal baseline multiplication (section \ref{sec:basemult}) requires $O(n^2)$ work while a
-baseline squaring (section \ref{sec:basesquare}) requires $O({{n^2 + n}\over 2})$ work.  In standard big-Oh notation these
-would both be said to be equivalent to $O(n^2)$.  However,
-in the context of the this text this is not the case as the magnitude of the inputs will typically be rather small.  As a
-result small constant factors in the work effort will make an observable difference in algorithm efficiency.
-
-All of the algorithms presented in this text have a polynomial time work level.  That is, of the form
-$O(n^k)$ for $n, k \in \Z^{+}$.  This will help make useful comparisons in terms of the speed of the algorithms and how
-various optimizations will help pay off in the long run.
-
-\section{Exercises}
-Within the more advanced chapters a section will be set aside to give the reader some challenging exercises related to
-the discussion at hand.  These exercises are not designed to be prize winning problems, but instead to be thought
-provoking.  Wherever possible the problems are forward minded, stating problems that will be answered in subsequent
-chapters.  The reader is encouraged to finish the exercises as they appear to get a better understanding of the
-subject material.
-
-That being said, the problems are designed to affirm knowledge of a particular subject matter.  Students in particular
-are encouraged to verify they can answer the problems correctly before moving on.
-
-Similar to the exercises of \cite[pp. ix]{TAOCPV2} these exercises are given a scoring system based on the difficulty of
-the problem.  However, unlike \cite{TAOCPV2} the problems do not get nearly as hard.  The scoring of these
-exercises ranges from one (the easiest) to five (the hardest).  The following table sumarizes the
-scoring system used.

-\section{Introduction to LibTomMath}
-
-\subsection{What is LibTomMath?}
-LibTomMath is a free and open source multiple precision integer library written entirely in portable ISO C.  By portable it
-is meant that the library does not contain any code that is computer platform dependent or otherwise problematic to use on
-any given platform.
-
-The library has been successfully tested under numerous operating systems including Unix\footnote{All of these
-trademarks belong to their respective rightful owners.}, MacOS, Windows, Linux, PalmOS and on standalone hardware such
-as the Gameboy Advance.  The library is designed to contain enough functionality to be able to develop applications such
-as public key cryptosystems and still maintain a relatively small footprint.
-
-\subsection{Goals of LibTomMath}
-
-Libraries which obtain the most efficiency are rarely written in a high level programming language such as C.  However,
-even though this library is written entirely in ISO C, considerable care has been taken to optimize the algorithm implementations within the
-library.  Specifically the code has been written to work well with the GNU C Compiler (\textit{GCC}) on both x86 and ARM
-processors.  Wherever possible, highly efficient algorithms, such as Karatsuba multiplication, sliding window
-exponentiation and Montgomery reduction have been provided to make the library more efficient.
-
-Even with the nearly optimal and specialized algorithms that have been included the Application Programing Interface
-(\textit{API}) has been kept as simple as possible.  Often generic place holder routines will make use of specialized
-algorithms automatically without the developer's specific attention.  One such example is the generic multiplication
-algorithm \textbf{mp\_mul()} which will automatically use Toom--Cook, Karatsuba, Comba or baseline multiplication
-based on the magnitude of the inputs and the configuration of the library.
-
-Making LibTomMath as efficient as possible is not the only goal of the LibTomMath project.  Ideally the library should
-be source compatible with another popular library which makes it more attractive for developers to use.  In this case the
-MPI library was used as a API template for all the basic functions.  MPI was chosen because it is another library that fits
-in the same niche as LibTomMath.  Even though LibTomMath uses MPI as the template for the function names and argument
-passing conventions, it has been written from scratch by Tom St Denis.
-
-The project is also meant to act as a learning tool for students, the logic being that no easy-to-follow ``bignum''
-library exists which can be used to teach computer science students how to perform fast and reliable multiple precision
-integer arithmetic.  To this end the source code has been given quite a few comments and algorithm discussion points.
-
-\section{Choice of LibTomMath}
-LibTomMath was chosen as the case study of this text not only because the author of both projects is one and the same but
-for more worthy reasons.  Other libraries such as GMP \cite{GMP}, MPI \cite{MPI}, LIP \cite{LIP} and OpenSSL
-\cite{OPENSSL} have multiple precision integer arithmetic routines but would not be ideal for this text for
-reasons that will be explained in the following sub-sections.
-
-\subsection{Code Base}
-The LibTomMath code base is all portable ISO C source code.  This means that there are no platform dependent conditional
-segments of code littered throughout the source.  This clean and uncluttered approach to the library means that a
-developer can more readily discern the true intent of a given section of source code without trying to keep track of
-what conditional code will be used.
-
-The code base of LibTomMath is well organized.  Each function is in its own separate source code file
-which allows the reader to find a given function very quickly.  On average there are $76$ lines of code per source
-file which makes the source very easily to follow.  By comparison MPI and LIP are single file projects making code tracing
-very hard.  GMP has many conditional code segments which also hinder tracing.
-
-When compiled with GCC for the x86 processor and optimized for speed the entire library is approximately $100$KiB\footnote{The notation ``KiB'' means $2^{10}$ octets, similarly ``MiB'' means $2^{20}$ octets.}
- which is fairly small compared to GMP (over $250$KiB).  LibTomMath is slightly larger than MPI (which compiles to about
-$50$KiB) but LibTomMath is also much faster and more complete than MPI.
-
-\subsection{API Simplicity}
-LibTomMath is designed after the MPI library and shares the API design.  Quite often programs that use MPI will build
-with LibTomMath without change. The function names correlate directly to the action they perform.  Almost all of the
-functions share the same parameter passing convention.  The learning curve is fairly shallow with the API provided
-which is an extremely valuable benefit for the student and developer alike.
-
-The LIP library is an example of a library with an API that is awkward to work with.  LIP uses function names that are often ``compressed'' to
-illegible short hand.  LibTomMath does not share this characteristic.
-
-The GMP library also does not return error codes.  Instead it uses a POSIX.1 \cite{POSIX1} signal system where errors
-are signaled to the host application.  This happens to be the fastest approach but definitely not the most versatile.  In
-effect a math error (i.e. invalid input, heap error, etc) can cause a program to stop functioning which is definitely
-undersireable in many situations.
-
-\subsection{Optimizations}
-While LibTomMath is certainly not the fastest library (GMP often beats LibTomMath by a factor of two) it does
-feature a set of optimal algorithms for tasks such as modular reduction, exponentiation, multiplication and squaring.  GMP
-and LIP also feature such optimizations while MPI only uses baseline algorithms with no optimizations.  GMP lacks a few
-of the additional modular reduction optimizations that LibTomMath features\footnote{At the time of this writing GMP
-only had Barrett and Montgomery modular reduction algorithms.}.
-
-LibTomMath is almost always an order of magnitude faster than the MPI library at computationally expensive tasks such as modular
-exponentiation.  In the grand scheme of ``bignum'' libraries LibTomMath is faster than the average library and usually
-slower than the best libraries such as GMP and OpenSSL by only a small factor.
-
-\subsection{Portability and Stability}
-LibTomMath will build ``out of the box'' on any platform equipped with a modern version of the GNU C Compiler
-(\textit{GCC}).  This means that without changes the library will build without configuration or setting up any
-variables.  LIP and MPI will build ``out of the box'' as well but have numerous known bugs.  Most notably the author of
-MPI has recently stopped working on his library and LIP has long since been discontinued.
-
-GMP requires a configuration script to run and will not build out of the box.   GMP and LibTomMath are still in active
-development and are very stable across a variety of platforms.
-
-\subsection{Choice}
-LibTomMath is a relatively compact, well documented, highly optimized and portable library which seems only natural for
-the case study of this text.  Various source files from the LibTomMath project will be included within the text.  However,
-the reader is encouraged to download their own copy of the library to actually be able to work with the library.
-
-\chapter{Getting Started}
-\section{Library Basics}
-The trick to writing any useful library of source code is to build a solid foundation and work outwards from it.  First,
-a problem along with allowable solution parameters should be identified and analyzed.  In this particular case the
-inability to accomodate multiple precision integers is the problem.  Futhermore, the solution must be written
-as portable source code that is reasonably efficient across several different computer platforms.
-
-After a foundation is formed the remainder of the library can be designed and implemented in a hierarchical fashion.
-That is, to implement the lowest level dependencies first and work towards the most abstract functions last.  For example,
-before implementing a modular exponentiation algorithm one would implement a modular reduction algorithm.
-By building outwards from a base foundation instead of using a parallel design methodology the resulting project is
-highly modular.  Being highly modular is a desirable property of any project as it often means the resulting product
-has a small footprint and updates are easy to perform.
-
-Usually when I start a project I will begin with the header files.  I define the data types I think I will need and
-prototype the initial functions that are not dependent on other functions (within the library).  After I
-implement these base functions I prototype more dependent functions and implement them.   The process repeats until
-I implement all of the functions I require.  For example, in the case of LibTomMath I implemented functions such as
-mp\_init() well before I implemented mp\_mul() and even further before I implemented mp\_exptmod().  As an example as to
-why this design works note that the Karatsuba and Toom-Cook multipliers were written \textit{after} the
-dependent function mp\_exptmod() was written.  Adding the new multiplication algorithms did not require changes to the
-mp\_exptmod() function itself and lowered the total cost of ownership (\textit{so to speak}) and of development
-for new algorithms.  This methodology allows new algorithms to be tested in a complete framework with relative ease.
-
-FIGU,design_process,Design Flow of the First Few Original LibTomMath Functions.
-
-Only after the majority of the functions were in place did I pursue a less hierarchical approach to auditing and optimizing
-the source code.  For example, one day I may audit the multipliers and the next day the polynomial basis functions.
-
-It only makes sense to begin the text with the preliminary data types and support algorithms required as well.
-This chapter discusses the core algorithms of the library which are the dependents for every other algorithm.
-
-\section{What is a Multiple Precision Integer?}
-Recall that most programming languages, in particular ISO C \cite{ISOC}, only have fixed precision data types that on their own cannot
-be used to represent values larger than their precision will allow. The purpose of multiple precision algorithms is
-to use fixed precision data types to create and manipulate multiple precision integers which may represent values
-that are very large.
-
-As a well known analogy, school children are taught how to form numbers larger than nine by prepending more radix ten digits.  In the decimal system
-the largest single digit value is $9$.  However, by concatenating digits together larger numbers may be represented.  Newly prepended digits
-(\textit{to the left}) are said to be in a different power of ten column.  That is, the number $123$ can be described as having a $1$ in the hundreds
-column, $2$ in the tens column and $3$ in the ones column.  Or more formally $123 = 1 \cdot 10^2 + 2 \cdot 10^1 + 3 \cdot 10^0$.  Computer based
-multiple precision arithmetic is essentially the same concept.  Larger integers are represented by adjoining fixed
-precision computer words with the exception that a different radix is used.
-
-What most people probably do not think about explicitly are the various other attributes that describe a multiple precision
-integer.  For example, the integer $154_{10}$ has two immediately obvious properties.  First, the integer is positive,
-that is the sign of this particular integer is positive as opposed to negative.  Second, the integer has three digits in
-its representation.  There is an additional property that the integer posesses that does not concern pencil-and-paper
-arithmetic.  The third property is how many digits placeholders are available to hold the integer.
-
-The human analogy of this third property is ensuring there is enough space on the paper to write the integer.  For example,
-if one starts writing a large number too far to the right on a piece of paper they will have to erase it and move left.
-Similarly, computer algorithms must maintain strict control over memory usage to ensure that the digits of an integer
-will not exceed the allowed boundaries.  These three properties make up what is known as a multiple precision
-integer or mp\_int for short.
-
-\subsection{The mp\_int Structure}
-\label{sec:MPINT}
-The mp\_int structure is the ISO C based manifestation of what represents a multiple precision integer.  The ISO C standard does not provide for
-any such data type but it does provide for making composite data types known as structures.  The following is the structure definition
-used within LibTomMath.
-
-\index{mp\_int}
-\begin{figure}[h]
-\begin{center}
-\begin{small}
-%\begin{verbatim}
-\begin{tabular}{|l|}
-\hline
-typedef struct \{ \\
-\hspace{3mm}int used, alloc, sign;\\
-\hspace{3mm}mp\_digit *dp;\\
-\} \textbf{mp\_int}; \\
-\hline
-\end{tabular}
-%\end{verbatim}
-\end{small}
-\caption{The mp\_int Structure}
-\label{fig:mpint}
-\end{center}
-\end{figure}
-
-The mp\_int structure (fig. \ref{fig:mpint}) can be broken down as follows.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item The \textbf{used} parameter denotes how many digits of the array \textbf{dp} contain the digits used to represent
-a given integer.  The \textbf{used} count must be positive (or zero) and may not exceed the \textbf{alloc} count.
-
-\item The \textbf{alloc} parameter denotes how
-many digits are available in the array to use by functions before it has to increase in size.  When the \textbf{used} count
-of a result would exceed the \textbf{alloc} count all of the algorithms will automatically increase the size of the
-array to accommodate the precision of the result.
-
-\item The pointer \textbf{dp} points to a dynamically allocated array of digits that represent the given multiple
-precision integer.  It is padded with $(\textbf{alloc} - \textbf{used})$ zero digits.  The array is maintained in a least
-significant digit order.  As a pencil and paper analogy the array is organized such that the right most digits are stored
-first starting at the location indexed by zero\footnote{In C all arrays begin at zero.} in the array.  For example,
-if \textbf{dp} contains $\lbrace a, b, c, \ldots \rbrace$ where \textbf{dp}$_0 = a$, \textbf{dp}$_1 = b$, \textbf{dp}$_2 = c$, $\ldots$ then
-it would represent the integer $a + b\beta + c\beta^2 + \ldots$
-
-\index{MP\_ZPOS} \index{MP\_NEG}
-\item The \textbf{sign} parameter denotes the sign as either zero/positive (\textbf{MP\_ZPOS}) or negative (\textbf{MP\_NEG}).
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\subsubsection{Valid mp\_int Structures}
-Several rules are placed on the state of an mp\_int structure and are assumed to be followed for reasons of efficiency.
-The only exceptions are when the structure is passed to initialization functions such as mp\_init() and mp\_init\_copy().
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item The value of \textbf{alloc} may not be less than one.  That is \textbf{dp} always points to a previously allocated
-array of digits.
-\item The value of \textbf{used} may not exceed \textbf{alloc} and must be greater than or equal to zero.
-\item The value of \textbf{used} implies the digit at index $(used - 1)$ of the \textbf{dp} array is non-zero.  That is,
-leading zero digits in the most significant positions must be trimmed.
-   \begin{enumerate}
-   \item Digits in the \textbf{dp} array at and above the \textbf{used} location must be zero.
-   \end{enumerate}
-\item The value of \textbf{sign} must be \textbf{MP\_ZPOS} if \textbf{used} is zero;
-this represents the mp\_int value of zero.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\section{Argument Passing}
-A convention of argument passing must be adopted early on in the development of any library.  Making the function
-prototypes consistent will help eliminate many headaches in the future as the library grows to significant complexity.
-In LibTomMath the multiple precision integer functions accept parameters from left to right as pointers to mp\_int
-structures.  That means that the source (input) operands are placed on the left and the destination (output) on the right.
-Consider the following examples.
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-   mp_mul(&a, &b, &c);   /* c = a * b */
-   mp_add(&a, &b, &a);   /* a = a + b */
-   mp_sqr(&a, &b);       /* b = a * a */
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The left to right order is a fairly natural way to implement the functions since it lets the developer read aloud the
-functions and make sense of them.  For example, the first function would read ``multiply a and b and store in c''.
-
-Certain libraries (\textit{LIP by Lenstra for instance}) accept parameters the other way around, to mimic the order
-of assignment expressions.  That is, the destination (output) is on the left and arguments (inputs) are on the right.  In
-truth, it is entirely a matter of preference.  In the case of LibTomMath the convention from the MPI library has been
-adopted.
-
-Another very useful design consideration, provided for in LibTomMath, is whether to allow argument sources to also be a
-destination.  For example, the second example (\textit{mp\_add}) adds $a$ to $b$ and stores in $a$.  This is an important
-feature to implement since it allows the calling functions to cut down on the number of variables it must maintain.
-However, to implement this feature specific care has to be given to ensure the destination is not modified before the
-source is fully read.
-
-\section{Return Values}
-A well implemented application, no matter what its purpose, should trap as many runtime errors as possible and return them
-to the caller.  By catching runtime errors a library can be guaranteed to prevent undefined behaviour.  However, the end
-developer can still manage to cause a library to crash.  For example, by passing an invalid pointer an application may
-fault by dereferencing memory not owned by the application.
-
-In the case of LibTomMath the only errors that are checked for are related to inappropriate inputs (division by zero for
-instance) and memory allocation errors.  It will not check that the mp\_int passed to any function is valid nor
-will it check pointers for validity.  Any function that can cause a runtime error will return an error code as an
-\textbf{int} data type with one of the following values (fig \ref{fig:errcodes}).
-
-\index{MP\_OKAY} \index{MP\_VAL} \index{MP\_MEM}
-\begin{figure}[h]
-\begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
-\hline \textbf{Value} & \textbf{Meaning} \\
-\hline \textbf{MP\_OKAY} & The function was successful \\
-\hline \textbf{MP\_VAL}  & One of the input value(s) was invalid \\
-\hline \textbf{MP\_MEM}  & The function ran out of heap memory \\
-\hline
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-\caption{LibTomMath Error Codes}
-\label{fig:errcodes}
-\end{figure}
-
-When an error is detected within a function it should free any memory it allocated, often during the initialization of
-temporary mp\_ints, and return as soon as possible.  The goal is to leave the system in the same state it was when the
-function was called.  Error checking with this style of API is fairly simple.
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-   int err;
-   if ((err = mp_add(&a, &b, &c)) != MP_OKAY) {
-      printf("Error: %s\n", mp_error_to_string(err));
-      exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
-   }
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The GMP \cite{GMP} library uses C style \textit{signals} to flag errors which is of questionable use.  Not all errors are fatal
-and it was not deemed ideal by the author of LibTomMath to force developers to have signal handlers for such cases.
-
-\section{Initialization and Clearing}
-The logical starting point when actually writing multiple precision integer functions is the initialization and
-clearing of the mp\_int structures.  These two algorithms will be used by the majority of the higher level algorithms.
-
-Given the basic mp\_int structure an initialization routine must first allocate memory to hold the digits of
-the integer.  Often it is optimal to allocate a sufficiently large pre-set number of digits even though
-the initial integer will represent zero.  If only a single digit were allocated quite a few subsequent re-allocations
-would occur when operations are performed on the integers.  There is a tradeoff between how many default digits to allocate
-and how many re-allocations are tolerable.  Obviously allocating an excessive amount of digits initially will waste
-memory and become unmanageable.
-
-If the memory for the digits has been successfully allocated then the rest of the members of the structure must
-be initialized.  Since the initial state of an mp\_int is to represent the zero integer, the allocated digits must be set
-to zero.  The \textbf{used} count set to zero and \textbf{sign} set to \textbf{MP\_ZPOS}.
-
-\subsection{Initializing an mp\_int}
-An mp\_int is said to be initialized if it is set to a valid, preferably default, state such that all of the members of the
-structure are set to valid values.  The mp\_init algorithm will perform such an action.
-
-\index{mp\_init}

-7.  Return(\textit{MP\_OKAY})\\
-\hline
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-\caption{Algorithm mp\_init}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_init.}
-The purpose of this function is to initialize an mp\_int structure so that the rest of the library can properly
-manipulte it.  It is assumed that the input may not have had any of its members previously initialized which is certainly
-a valid assumption if the input resides on the stack.
-
-Before any of the members such as \textbf{sign}, \textbf{used} or \textbf{alloc} are initialized the memory for
-the digits is allocated.  If this fails the function returns before setting any of the other members.  The \textbf{MP\_PREC}
-name represents a constant\footnote{Defined in the ``tommath.h'' header file within LibTomMath.}
-used to dictate the minimum precision of newly initialized mp\_int integers.  Ideally, it is at least equal to the smallest
-precision number you'll be working with.
-
-Allocating a block of digits at first instead of a single digit has the benefit of lowering the number of usually slow
-heap operations later functions will have to perform in the future.  If \textbf{MP\_PREC} is set correctly the slack
-memory and the number of heap operations will be trivial.
-
-Once the allocation has been made the digits have to be set to zero as well as the \textbf{used}, \textbf{sign} and
-\textbf{alloc} members initialized.  This ensures that the mp\_int will always represent the default state of zero regardless
-of the original condition of the input.
-
-\textbf{Remark.}
-This function introduces the idiosyncrasy that all iterative loops, commonly initiated with the ``for'' keyword, iterate incrementally
-when the ``to'' keyword is placed between two expressions.  For example, ``for $a$ from $b$ to $c$ do'' means that
-a subsequent expression (or body of expressions) are to be evaluated upto $c - b$ times so long as $b \le c$.  In each
-iteration the variable $a$ is substituted for a new integer that lies inclusively between $b$ and $c$.  If $b > c$ occured
-the loop would not iterate.  By contrast if the ``downto'' keyword were used in place of ``to'' the loop would iterate
-decrementally.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_init.c
-
-One immediate observation of this initializtion function is that it does not return a pointer to a mp\_int structure.  It
-is assumed that the caller has already allocated memory for the mp\_int structure, typically on the application stack.  The
-call to mp\_init() is used only to initialize the members of the structure to a known default state.
-
-Here we see (line @23,XMALLOC@) the memory allocation is performed first.  This allows us to exit cleanly and quickly
-if there is an error.  If the allocation fails the routine will return \textbf{MP\_MEM} to the caller to indicate there
-was a memory error.  The function XMALLOC is what actually allocates the memory.  Technically XMALLOC is not a function
-but a macro defined in ``tommath.h``.  By default, XMALLOC will evaluate to malloc() which is the C library's built--in
-memory allocation routine.
-
-In order to assure the mp\_int is in a known state the digits must be set to zero.  On most platforms this could have been
-accomplished by using calloc() instead of malloc().  However,  to correctly initialize a integer type to a given value in a
-portable fashion you have to actually assign the value.  The for loop (line @28,for@) performs this required
-operation.
-
-After the memory has been successfully initialized the remainder of the members are initialized
-(lines @29,used@ through @31,sign@) to their respective default states.  At this point the algorithm has succeeded and
-a success code is returned to the calling function.  If this function returns \textbf{MP\_OKAY} it is safe to assume the
-mp\_int structure has been properly initialized and is safe to use with other functions within the library.
-
-\subsection{Clearing an mp\_int}
-When an mp\_int is no longer required by the application, the memory that has been allocated for its digits must be
-returned to the application's memory pool with the mp\_clear algorithm.
-

-\caption{Algorithm mp\_clear}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_clear.}
-This algorithm accomplishes two goals.  First, it clears the digits and the other mp\_int members.  This ensures that
-if a developer accidentally re-uses a cleared structure it is less likely to cause problems.  The second goal
-is to free the allocated memory.
-
-The logic behind the algorithm is extended by marking cleared mp\_int structures so that subsequent calls to this
-algorithm will not try to free the memory multiple times.  Cleared mp\_ints are detectable by having a pre-defined invalid
-digit pointer \textbf{dp} setting.
-
-Once an mp\_int has been cleared the mp\_int structure is no longer in a valid state for any other algorithm
-with the exception of algorithms mp\_init, mp\_init\_copy, mp\_init\_size and mp\_clear.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_clear.c
-
-The algorithm only operates on the mp\_int if it hasn't been previously cleared.  The if statement (line @23,a->dp != NULL@)
-checks to see if the \textbf{dp} member is not \textbf{NULL}.  If the mp\_int is a valid mp\_int then \textbf{dp} cannot be
-\textbf{NULL} in which case the if statement will evaluate to true.
-
-The digits of the mp\_int are cleared by the for loop (line @25,for@) which assigns a zero to every digit.  Similar to mp\_init()
-the digits are assigned zero instead of using block memory operations (such as memset()) since this is more portable.
-
-The digits are deallocated off the heap via the XFREE macro.  Similar to XMALLOC the XFREE macro actually evaluates to
-a standard C library function.  In this case the free() function.  Since free() only deallocates the memory the pointer
-still has to be reset to \textbf{NULL} manually (line @33,NULL@).
-
-Now that the digits have been cleared and deallocated the other members are set to their final values (lines @34,= 0@ and @35,ZPOS@).
-
-\section{Maintenance Algorithms}
-
-The previous sections describes how to initialize and clear an mp\_int structure.  To further support operations
-that are to be performed on mp\_int structures (such as addition and multiplication) the dependent algorithms must be
-able to augment the precision of an mp\_int and
-initialize mp\_ints with differing initial conditions.
-
-These algorithms complete the set of low level algorithms required to work with mp\_int structures in the higher level
-algorithms such as addition, multiplication and modular exponentiation.
-
-\subsection{Augmenting an mp\_int's Precision}
-When storing a value in an mp\_int structure, a sufficient number of digits must be available to accomodate the entire
-result of an operation without loss of precision.  Quite often the size of the array given by the \textbf{alloc} member
-is large enough to simply increase the \textbf{used} digit count.  However, when the size of the array is too small it
-must be re-sized appropriately to accomodate the result.  The mp\_grow algorithm will provide this functionality.
-

-\caption{Algorithm mp\_grow}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_grow.}
-It is ideal to prevent re-allocations from being performed if they are not required (step one).  This is useful to
-prevent mp\_ints from growing excessively in code that erroneously calls mp\_grow.
-
-The requested digit count is padded up to next multiple of \textbf{MP\_PREC} plus an additional \textbf{MP\_PREC} (steps two and three).
-This helps prevent many trivial reallocations that would grow an mp\_int by trivially small values.
-
-It is assumed that the reallocation (step four) leaves the lower $a.alloc$ digits of the mp\_int intact.  This is much
-akin to how the \textit{realloc} function from the standard C library works.  Since the newly allocated digits are
-assumed to contain undefined values they are initially set to zero.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_grow.c
-
-A quick optimization is to first determine if a memory re-allocation is required at all.  The if statement (line @24,alloc@) checks
-if the \textbf{alloc} member of the mp\_int is smaller than the requested digit count.  If the count is not larger than \textbf{alloc}
-the function skips the re-allocation part thus saving time.
-
-When a re-allocation is performed it is turned into an optimal request to save time in the future.  The requested digit count is
-padded upwards to 2nd multiple of \textbf{MP\_PREC} larger than \textbf{alloc} (line @25, size@).  The XREALLOC function is used
-to re-allocate the memory.  As per the other functions XREALLOC is actually a macro which evaluates to realloc by default.  The realloc
-function leaves the base of the allocation intact which means the first \textbf{alloc} digits of the mp\_int are the same as before
-the re-allocation.  All	that is left is to clear the newly allocated digits and return.
-
-Note that the re-allocation result is actually stored in a temporary pointer $tmp$.  This is to allow this function to return
-an error with a valid pointer.  Earlier releases of the library stored the result of XREALLOC into the mp\_int $a$.  That would
-result in a memory leak if XREALLOC ever failed.
-
-\subsection{Initializing Variable Precision mp\_ints}
-Occasionally the number of digits required will be known in advance of an initialization, based on, for example, the size
-of input mp\_ints to a given algorithm.  The purpose of algorithm mp\_init\_size is similar to mp\_init except that it
-will allocate \textit{at least} a specified number of digits.
-

-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-\end{small}
-\caption{Algorithm mp\_init\_size}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_init\_size.}
-This algorithm will initialize an mp\_int structure $a$ like algorithm mp\_init with the exception that the number of
-digits allocated can be controlled by the second input argument $b$.  The input size is padded upwards so it is a
-multiple of \textbf{MP\_PREC} plus an additional \textbf{MP\_PREC} digits.  This padding is used to prevent trivial
-allocations from becoming a bottleneck in the rest of the algorithms.
-
-Like algorithm mp\_init, the mp\_int structure is initialized to a default state representing the integer zero.  This
-particular algorithm is useful if it is known ahead of time the approximate size of the input.  If the approximation is
-correct no further memory re-allocations are required to work with the mp\_int.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_init_size.c
-
-If the memory can be successfully allocated the mp\_int is placed in a default state representing the integer zero.  Otherwise, the error code \textbf{MP\_MEM} will be
-returned (line @27,return@).
-
-The digits are allocated with the malloc() function (line @27,XMALLOC@) and set to zero afterwards (line @38,for@).  The
-\textbf{used} count is set to zero, the \textbf{alloc} count set to the padded digit count and the \textbf{sign} flag set
-to \textbf{MP\_ZPOS} to achieve a default valid mp\_int state (lines @29,used@, @30,alloc@ and @31,sign@).  If the function
-returns succesfully then it is correct to assume that the mp\_int structure is in a valid state for the remainder of the
-functions to work with.
-
-\subsection{Multiple Integer Initializations and Clearings}
-Occasionally a function will require a series of mp\_int data types to be made available simultaneously.
-The purpose of algorithm mp\_init\_multi is to initialize a variable length array of mp\_int structures in a single
-statement.  It is essentially a shortcut to multiple initializations.
-

-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_init\_multi.}
-The algorithm will initialize the array of mp\_int variables one at a time.  If a runtime error has been detected
-(\textit{step 1.2}) all of the previously initialized variables are cleared.  The goal is an ``all or nothing''
-initialization which allows for quick recovery from runtime errors.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_init_multi.c
-
-This function intializes a variable length list of mp\_int structure pointers.  However, instead of having the mp\_int
-structures in an actual C array they are simply passed as arguments to the function.  This function makes use of the
-``...'' argument syntax of the C programming language.  The list is terminated with a final \textbf{NULL} argument
-appended on the right.
-
-The function uses the ``stdarg.h'' \textit{va} functions to step portably through the arguments to the function.  A count
-$n$ of succesfully initialized mp\_int structures is maintained (line @47,n++@) such that if a failure does occur,
-the algorithm can backtrack and free the previously initialized structures (lines @27,if@ to @46,}@).
-
-
-\subsection{Clamping Excess Digits}
-When a function anticipates a result will be $n$ digits it is simpler to assume this is true within the body of
-the function instead of checking during the computation.  For example, a multiplication of a $i$ digit number by a
-$j$ digit produces a result of at most $i + j$ digits.  It is entirely possible that the result is $i + j - 1$
-though, with no final carry into the last position.  However, suppose the destination had to be first expanded
-(\textit{via mp\_grow}) to accomodate $i + j - 1$ digits than further expanded to accomodate the final carry.
-That would be a considerable waste of time since heap operations are relatively slow.
-
-The ideal solution is to always assume the result is $i + j$ and fix up the \textbf{used} count after the function
-terminates.  This way a single heap operation (\textit{at most}) is required.  However, if the result was not checked
-there would be an excess high order zero digit.
-
-For example, suppose the product of two integers was $x_n = (0x_{n-1}x_{n-2}...x_0)_{\beta}$.  The leading zero digit
-will not contribute to the precision of the result.  In fact, through subsequent operations more leading zero digits would
-accumulate to the point the size of the integer would be prohibitive.  As a result even though the precision is very
-low the representation is excessively large.
-
-The mp\_clamp algorithm is designed to solve this very problem.  It will trim high-order zeros by decrementing the
-\textbf{used} count until a non-zero most significant digit is found.  Also in this system, zero is considered to be a
-positive number which means that if the \textbf{used} count is decremented to zero, the sign must be set to
-\textbf{MP\_ZPOS}.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_clamp.}
-As can be expected this algorithm is very simple.  The loop on step one is expected to iterate only once or twice at

-
-EXAM,bn_mp_clamp.c
-
-Note on line @27,while@ how to test for the \textbf{used} count is made on the left of the \&\& operator.  In the C programming
-language the terms to \&\& are evaluated left to right with a boolean short-circuit if any condition fails.  This is
-important since if the \textbf{used} is zero the test on the right would fetch below the array.  That is obviously
-undesirable.  The parenthesis on line @28,a->used@ is used to make sure the \textbf{used} count is decremented and not

-\section{Introduction}
-In the previous chapter a series of low level algorithms were established that dealt with initializing and maintaining
-mp\_int structures.  This chapter will discuss another set of seemingly non-algebraic algorithms which will form the low
-level basis of the entire library.  While these algorithm are relatively trivial it is important to understand how they
-work before proceeding since these algorithms will be used almost intrinsically in the following chapters.
-
-The algorithms in this chapter deal primarily with more ``programmer'' related tasks such as creating copies of
-mp\_int structures, assigning small values to mp\_int structures and comparisons of the values mp\_int structures
-represent.
-
-\section{Assigning Values to mp\_int Structures}
-\subsection{Copying an mp\_int}
-Assigning the value that a given mp\_int structure represents to another mp\_int structure shall be known as making
-a copy for the purposes of this text.  The copy of the mp\_int will be a separate entity that represents the same
-value as the mp\_int it was copied from.  The mp\_copy algorithm provides this functionality.

-\hline

-\caption{Algorithm mp\_copy}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_copy.}
-This algorithm copies the mp\_int $a$ such that upon succesful termination of the algorithm the mp\_int $b$ will
-represent the same integer as the mp\_int $a$.  The mp\_int $b$ shall be a complete and distinct copy of the
-mp\_int $a$ meaing that the mp\_int $a$ can be modified and it shall not affect the value of the mp\_int $b$.
-
-If $b$ does not have enough room for the digits of $a$ it must first have its precision augmented via the mp\_grow
-algorithm.  The digits of $a$ are copied over the digits of $b$ and any excess digits of $b$ are set to zero (step two
-and three).  The \textbf{used} and \textbf{sign} members of $a$ are finally copied over the respective members of
-$b$.
-
-\textbf{Remark.}  This algorithm also introduces a new idiosyncrasy that will be used throughout the rest of the
-text.  The error return codes of other algorithms are not explicitly checked in the pseudo-code presented.  For example, in
-step one of the mp\_copy algorithm the return of mp\_grow is not explicitly checked to ensure it succeeded.  Text space is
-limited so it is assumed that if a algorithm fails it will clear all temporarily allocated mp\_ints and return
-the error code itself.  However, the C code presented will demonstrate all of the error handling logic required to
-implement the pseudo-code.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_copy.c
-
-Occasionally a dependent algorithm may copy an mp\_int effectively into itself such as when the input and output
-mp\_int structures passed to a function are one and the same.  For this case it is optimal to return immediately without
-copying digits (line @24,a == b@).
-
-The mp\_int $b$ must have enough digits to accomodate the used digits of the mp\_int $a$.  If $b.alloc$ is less than
-$a.used$ the algorithm mp\_grow is used to augment the precision of $b$ (lines @29,alloc@ to @33,}@).  In order to
-simplify the inner loop that copies the digits from $a$ to $b$, two aliases $tmpa$ and $tmpb$ point directly at the digits
-of the mp\_ints $a$ and $b$ respectively.  These aliases (lines @42,tmpa@ and @45,tmpb@) allow the compiler to access the digits without first dereferencing the
-mp\_int pointers and then subsequently the pointer to the digits.
-
-After the aliases are established the digits from $a$ are copied into $b$ (lines @48,for@ to @50,}@) and then the excess
-digits of $b$ are set to zero (lines @53,for@ to @55,}@).  Both ``for'' loops make use of the pointer aliases and in
-fact the alias for $b$ is carried through into the second ``for'' loop to clear the excess digits.  This optimization
-allows the alias to stay in a machine register fairly easy between the two loops.
-
-\textbf{Remarks.}  The use of pointer aliases is an implementation methodology first introduced in this function that will
-be used considerably in other functions.  Technically, a pointer alias is simply a short hand alias used to lower the
-number of pointer dereferencing operations required to access data.  For example, a for loop may resemble
-
-\begin{alltt}
-for (x = 0; x < 100; x++) \{
-    a->num[4]->dp[x] = 0;
-\}
-\end{alltt}
-
-This could be re-written using aliases as
-
-\begin{alltt}
-mp_digit *tmpa;
-a = a->num[4]->dp;
-for (x = 0; x < 100; x++) \{
-    *a++ = 0;
-\}
-\end{alltt}
-
-In this case an alias is used to access the
-array of digits within an mp\_int structure directly.  It may seem that a pointer alias is strictly not required
-as a compiler may optimize out the redundant pointer operations.  However, there are two dominant reasons to use aliases.
-
-The first reason is that most compilers will not effectively optimize pointer arithmetic.  For example, some optimizations
-may work for the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler (MSVC) and not for the GNU C Compiler (GCC).  Also some optimizations may
-work for GCC and not MSVC.  As such it is ideal to find a common ground for as many compilers as possible.  Pointer
-aliases optimize the code considerably before the compiler even reads the source code which means the end compiled code
-stands a better chance of being faster.
-
-The second reason is that pointer aliases often can make an algorithm simpler to read.  Consider the first ``for''
-loop of the function mp\_copy() re-written to not use pointer aliases.
-
-\begin{alltt}
-    /* copy all the digits */
-    for (n = 0; n < a->used; n++) \{
-      b->dp[n] = a->dp[n];
-    \}
-\end{alltt}
-
-Whether this code is harder to read depends strongly on the individual.  However, it is quantifiably slightly more
-complicated as there are four variables within the statement instead of just two.
-
-\subsubsection{Nested Statements}
-Another commonly used technique in the source routines is that certain sections of code are nested.  This is used in
-particular with the pointer aliases to highlight code phases.  For example, a Comba multiplier (discussed in chapter six)
-will typically have three different phases.  First the temporaries are initialized, then the columns calculated and
-finally the carries are propagated.  In this example the middle column production phase will typically be nested as it
-uses temporary variables and aliases the most.
-
-The nesting also simplies the source code as variables that are nested are only valid for their scope.  As a result
-the various temporary variables required do not propagate into other sections of code.
-
-
-\subsection{Creating a Clone}
-Another common operation is to make a local temporary copy of an mp\_int argument.  To initialize an mp\_int
-and then copy another existing mp\_int into the newly intialized mp\_int will be known as creating a clone.  This is
-useful within functions that need to modify an argument but do not wish to actually modify the original copy.  The
-mp\_init\_copy algorithm has been designed to help perform this task.

-This will initialize \textbf{a} and make it a verbatim copy of the contents of \textbf{b}.  Note that
-\textbf{a} will have its own memory allocated which means that \textbf{b} may be cleared after the call

-\section{Zeroing an Integer}
-Reseting an mp\_int to the default state is a common step in many algorithms.  The mp\_zero algorithm will be the algorithm used to
-perform this task.

-This algorithm simply resets a mp\_int to the default state.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_zero.c
-
-After the function is completed, all of the digits are zeroed, the \textbf{used} count is zeroed and the
-\textbf{sign} variable is set to \textbf{MP\_ZPOS}.
-
-\section{Sign Manipulation}
-\subsection{Absolute Value}
-With the mp\_int representation of an integer, calculating the absolute value is trivial.  The mp\_abs algorithm will compute
-the absolute value of an mp\_int.
-
-\begin{figure}[h]

-\hline
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-\caption{Algorithm mp\_abs}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_abs.}
-This algorithm computes the absolute of an mp\_int input.  First it copies $a$ over $b$.  This is an example of an
-algorithm where the check in mp\_copy that determines if the source and destination are equal proves useful.  This allows,
-for instance, the developer to pass the same mp\_int as the source and destination to this function without addition
-logic to handle it.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_abs.c
-
-This fairly trivial algorithm first eliminates non--required duplications (line @27,a != b@) and then sets the
-\textbf{sign} flag to \textbf{MP\_ZPOS}.
-
-\subsection{Integer Negation}
-With the mp\_int representation of an integer, calculating the negation is also trivial.  The mp\_neg algorithm will compute
-the negative of an mp\_int input.
-
-\begin{figure}[h]

-4.  If $a.sign = MP\_ZPOS$ then do \\
-\hspace{3mm}4.1  $b.sign = MP\_NEG$. \\
-5.  else do \\
-\hspace{3mm}5.1  $b.sign = MP\_ZPOS$. \\
-6.  Return(\textit{MP\_OKAY}) \\
-\hline
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-\caption{Algorithm mp\_neg}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_neg.}
-This algorithm computes the negation of an input.  First it copies $a$ over $b$.  If $a$ has no used digits then
-the algorithm returns immediately.  Otherwise it flips the sign flag and stores the result in $b$.  Note that if
-$a$ had no digits then it must be positive by definition.  Had step three been omitted then the algorithm would return
-zero as negative.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_neg.c
-
-Like mp\_abs() this function avoids non--required duplications (line @21,a != b@) and then sets the sign.  We
-have to make sure that only non--zero values get a \textbf{sign} of \textbf{MP\_NEG}.  If the mp\_int is zero
-than the \textbf{sign} is hard--coded to \textbf{MP\_ZPOS}.
-
-\section{Small Constants}
-\subsection{Setting Small Constants}
-Often a mp\_int must be set to a relatively small value such as $1$ or $2$.  For these cases the mp\_set algorithm is useful.
-

-\hline
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-\caption{Algorithm mp\_set}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_set.}
-This algorithm sets a mp\_int to a small single digit value.  Step number 1 ensures that the integer is reset to the default state.  The
-single digit is set (\textit{modulo $\beta$}) and the \textbf{used} count is adjusted accordingly.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_set.c
-
-First we zero (line @21,mp_zero@) the mp\_int to make sure that the other members are initialized for a
-small positive constant.  mp\_zero() ensures that the \textbf{sign} is positive and the \textbf{used} count
-is zero.  Next we set the digit and reduce it modulo $\beta$ (line @22,MP_MASK@).  After this step we have to
-check if the resulting digit is zero or not.  If it is not then we set the \textbf{used} count to one, otherwise
-to zero.
-
-We can quickly reduce modulo $\beta$ since it is of the form $2^k$ and a quick binary AND operation with
-$2^k - 1$ will perform the same operation.
-
-One important limitation of this function is that it will only set one digit.  The size of a digit is not fixed, meaning source that uses
-this function should take that into account.  Only trivially small constants can be set using this function.
-
-\subsection{Setting Large Constants}
-To overcome the limitations of the mp\_set algorithm the mp\_set\_int algorithm is ideal.  It accepts a ``long''
-data type as input and will always treat it as a 32-bit integer.
-
-\begin{figure}[h]

-2.  for $n$ from 0 to 7 do \\

-3.  Clamp excess used digits (\textit{mp\_clamp}) \\
-\hline
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-\caption{Algorithm mp\_set\_int}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_set\_int.}
-The algorithm performs eight iterations of a simple loop where in each iteration four bits from the source are added to the
-mp\_int.  Step 2.1 will multiply the current result by sixteen making room for four more bits in the less significant positions.  In step 2.2 the
-next four bits from the source are extracted and are added to the mp\_int. The \textbf{used} digit count is
-incremented to reflect the addition.  The \textbf{used} digit counter is incremented since if any of the leading digits were zero the mp\_int would have
-zero digits used and the newly added four bits would be ignored.
-
-Excess zero digits are trimmed in steps 2.1 and 3 by using higher level algorithms mp\_mul2d and mp\_clamp.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_set_int.c
-
-This function sets four bits of the number at a time to handle all practical \textbf{DIGIT\_BIT} sizes.  The weird
-addition on line @38,a->used@ ensures that the newly added in bits are added to the number of digits.  While it may not
-seem obvious as to why the digit counter does not grow exceedingly large it is because of the shift on line @27,mp_mul_2d@
-as well as the  call to mp\_clamp() on line @40,mp_clamp@.  Both functions will clamp excess leading digits which keeps
-the number of used digits low.
-
-\section{Comparisons}
-\subsection{Unsigned Comparisions}
-Comparing a multiple precision integer is performed with the exact same algorithm used to compare two decimal numbers.  For example,
-to compare $1,234$ to $1,264$ the digits are extracted by their positions.  That is we compare $1 \cdot 10^3 + 2 \cdot 10^2 + 3 \cdot 10^1 + 4 \cdot 10^0$
-to $1 \cdot 10^3 + 2 \cdot 10^2 + 6 \cdot 10^1 + 4 \cdot 10^0$ by comparing single digits at a time starting with the highest magnitude
-positions.  If any leading digit of one integer is greater than a digit in the same position of another integer then obviously it must be greater.
-
-The first comparision routine that will be developed is the unsigned magnitude compare which will perform a comparison based on the digits of two
-mp\_int variables alone.  It will ignore the sign of the two inputs.  Such a function is useful when an absolute comparison is required or if the
-signs are known to agree in advance.
-
-To facilitate working with the results of the comparison functions three constants are required.

-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_cmp\_mag.}
-By saying ``$a$ to the left of $b$'' it is meant that the comparison is with respect to $a$, that is if $a$ is greater than $b$ it will return
-\textbf{MP\_GT} and similar with respect to when $a = b$ and $a < b$.  The first two steps compare the number of digits used in both $a$ and $b$.
-Obviously if the digit counts differ there would be an imaginary zero digit in the smaller number where the leading digit of the larger number is.
-If both have the same number of digits than the actual digits themselves must be compared starting at the leading digit.
-
-By step three both inputs must have the same number of digits so its safe to start from either $a.used - 1$ or $b.used - 1$ and count down to
-the zero'th digit.  If after all of the digits have been compared, no difference is found, the algorithm returns \textbf{MP\_EQ}.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_cmp_mag.c
-
-The two if statements (lines @24,if@ and @28,if@) compare the number of digits in the two inputs.  These two are
-performed before all of the digits are compared since it is a very cheap test to perform and can potentially save
-considerable time.  The implementation given is also not valid without those two statements.  $b.alloc$ may be
-smaller than $a.used$, meaning that undefined values will be read from $b$ past the end of the array of digits.

-\subsection{Signed Comparisons}
-Comparing with sign considerations is also fairly critical in several routines (\textit{division for example}).  Based on an unsigned magnitude
-comparison a trivial signed comparison algorithm can be written.

-The first two steps compare the signs of the two inputs.  If the signs do not agree then it can return right away with the appropriate

-three the unsigned comparision flips the order of the arguments since they are both negative.  For instance, if $-a > -b$ then
-$\vert a \vert < \vert b \vert$.  Step number four will compare the two when they are both positive.

-The two if statements (lines @22,if@ and @26,if@) perform the initial sign comparison.  If the signs are not the equal then which ever

-negative then the unsigned comparison is performed in the opposite direction (line @31,mp_cmp_mag@).  Otherwise, the signs are assumed to
-be both positive and a forward direction unsigned comparison is performed.

-\chapter{Basic Arithmetic}
-\section{Introduction}
-At this point algorithms for initialization, clearing, zeroing, copying, comparing and setting small constants have been
-established.  The next logical set of algorithms to develop are addition, subtraction and digit shifting algorithms.  These
-algorithms make use of the lower level algorithms and are the cruicial building block for the multiplication algorithms.  It is very important
-that these algorithms are highly optimized.  On their own they are simple $O(n)$ algorithms but they can be called from higher level algorithms
-which easily places them at $O(n^2)$ or even $O(n^3)$ work levels.
-
-MARK,SHIFTS
-All of the algorithms within this chapter make use of the logical bit shift operations denoted by $<<$ and $>>$ for left and right
-logical shifts respectively.  A logical shift is analogous to sliding the decimal point of radix-10 representations.  For example, the real
-number $0.9345$ is equivalent to $93.45\%$ which is found by sliding the the decimal two places to the right (\textit{multiplying by $\beta^2 = 10^2$}).
-Algebraically a binary logical shift is equivalent to a division or multiplication by a power of two.
-For example, $a << k = a \cdot 2^k$ while $a >> k = \lfloor a/2^k \rfloor$.
-
-One significant difference between a logical shift and the way decimals are shifted is that digits below the zero'th position are removed
-from the number.  For example, consider $1101_2 >> 1$ using decimal notation this would produce $110.1_2$.  However, with a logical shift the
-result is $110_2$.
-
-\section{Addition and Subtraction}
-In common twos complement fixed precision arithmetic negative numbers are easily represented by subtraction from the modulus.  For example, with 32-bit integers
-$a - b\mbox{ (mod }2^{32}\mbox{)}$ is the same as $a + (2^{32} - b) \mbox{ (mod }2^{32}\mbox{)}$  since $2^{32} \equiv 0 \mbox{ (mod }2^{32}\mbox{)}$.
-As a result subtraction can be performed with a trivial series of logical operations and an addition.
-
-However, in multiple precision arithmetic negative numbers are not represented in the same way.  Instead a sign flag is used to keep track of the
-sign of the integer.  As a result signed addition and subtraction are actually implemented as conditional usage of lower level addition or
-subtraction algorithms with the sign fixed up appropriately.
-
-The lower level algorithms will add or subtract integers without regard to the sign flag.  That is they will add or subtract the magnitude of
-the integers respectively.
-
-\subsection{Low Level Addition}
-An unsigned addition of multiple precision integers is performed with the same long-hand algorithm used to add decimal numbers.  That is to add the
-trailing digits first and propagate the resulting carry upwards.  Since this is a lower level algorithm the name will have a ``s\_'' prefix.
-Historically that convention stems from the MPI library where ``s\_'' stood for static functions that were hidden from the developer entirely.

-\caption{Algorithm s\_mp\_add}
-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm s\_mp\_add.}
-This algorithm is loosely based on algorithm 14.7 of HAC \cite[pp. 594]{HAC} but has been extended to allow the inputs to have different magnitudes.
-Coincidentally the description of algorithm A in Knuth \cite[pp. 266]{TAOCPV2} shares the same deficiency as the algorithm from \cite{HAC}.  Even the
-MIX pseudo  machine code presented by Knuth \cite[pp. 266-267]{TAOCPV2} is incapable of handling inputs which are of different magnitudes.
-
-The first thing that has to be accomplished is to sort out which of the two inputs is the largest.  The addition logic
-will simply add all of the smallest input to the largest input and store that first part of the result in the
-destination.  Then it will apply a simpler addition loop to excess digits of the larger input.
-
-The first two steps will handle sorting the inputs such that $min$ and $max$ hold the digit counts of the two
-inputs.  The variable $x$ will be an mp\_int alias for the largest input or the second input $b$ if they have the
-same number of digits.  After the inputs are sorted the destination $c$ is grown as required to accomodate the sum
-of the two inputs.  The original \textbf{used} count of $c$ is copied and set to the new used count.
-
-At this point the first addition loop will go through as many digit positions that both inputs have.  The carry
-variable $\mu$ is set to zero outside the loop.  Inside the loop an ``addition'' step requires three statements to produce
-one digit of the summand.  First
-two digits from $a$ and $b$ are added together along with the carry $\mu$.  The carry of this step is extracted and stored
-in $\mu$ and finally the digit of the result $c_n$ is truncated within the range $0 \le c_n < \beta$.
-
-Now all of the digit positions that both inputs have in common have been exhausted.  If $min \ne max$ then $x$ is an alias
-for one of the inputs that has more digits.  A simplified addition loop is then used to essentially copy the remaining digits
-and the carry to the destination.
-
-The final carry is stored in $c_{max}$ and digits above $max$ upto $oldused$ are zeroed which completes the addition.
-
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_add.c
-
-We first sort (lines @27,if@ to @35,}@) the inputs based on magnitude and determine the $min$ and $max$ variables.
-Note that $x$ is a pointer to an mp\_int assigned to the largest input, in effect it is a local alias.  Next we
-grow the destination (@37,init@ to @42,}@) ensure that it can accomodate the result of the addition.
-
-Similar to the implementation of mp\_copy this function uses the braced code and local aliases coding style.  The three aliases that are on
-lines @56,tmpa@, @59,tmpb@ and @62,tmpc@ represent the two inputs and destination variables respectively.  These aliases are used to ensure the
-compiler does not have to dereference $a$, $b$ or $c$ (respectively) to access the digits of the respective mp\_int.
-
-The initial carry $u$ will be cleared (line @65,u = 0@), note that $u$ is of type mp\_digit which ensures type
-compatibility within the implementation.  The initial addition (line @66,for@ to @75,}@) adds digits from
-both inputs until the smallest input runs out of digits.  Similarly the conditional addition loop
-(line @81,for@ to @90,}@) adds the remaining digits from the larger of the two inputs.  The addition is finished
-with the final carry being stored in $tmpc$ (line @94,tmpc++@).  Note the ``++'' operator within the same expression.
-After line @94,tmpc++@, $tmpc$ will point to the $c.used$'th digit of the mp\_int $c$.  This is useful
-for the next loop (line @97,for@ to @99,}@) which set any old upper digits to zero.
-
-\subsection{Low Level Subtraction}
-The low level unsigned subtraction algorithm is very similar to the low level unsigned addition algorithm.  The principle difference is that the
-unsigned subtraction algorithm requires the result to be positive.  That is when computing $a - b$ the condition $\vert a \vert \ge \vert b\vert$ must
-be met for this algorithm to function properly.  Keep in mind this low level algorithm is not meant to be used in higher level algorithms directly.
-This algorithm as will be shown can be used to create functional signed addition and subtraction algorithms.
-
-MARK,GAMMA
-
-For this algorithm a new variable is required to make the description simpler.  Recall from section 1.3.1 that a mp\_digit must be able to represent
-the range $0 \le x < 2\beta$ for the algorithms to work correctly.  However, it is allowable that a mp\_digit represent a larger range of values.  For
-this algorithm we will assume that the variable $\gamma$ represents the number of bits available in a
-mp\_digit (\textit{this implies $2^{\gamma} > \beta$}).
-
-For example, the default for LibTomMath is to use a ``unsigned long'' for the mp\_digit ``type'' while $\beta = 2^{28}$.  In ISO C an ``unsigned long''
-data type must be able to represent $0 \le x < 2^{32}$ meaning that in this case $\gamma \ge 32$.

-\textbf{Algorithm s\_mp\_sub.}
-This algorithm performs the unsigned subtraction of two mp\_int variables under the restriction that the result must be positive.  That is when
-passing variables $a$ and $b$ the condition that $\vert a \vert \ge \vert b \vert$ must be met for the algorithm to function correctly.  This
-algorithm is loosely based on algorithm 14.9 \cite[pp. 595]{HAC} and is similar to algorithm S in \cite[pp. 267]{TAOCPV2} as well.  As was the case
-of the algorithm s\_mp\_add both other references lack discussion concerning various practical details such as when the inputs differ in magnitude.
-
-The initial sorting of the inputs is trivial in this algorithm since $a$ is guaranteed to have at least the same magnitude of $b$.  Steps 1 and 2
-set the $min$ and $max$ variables.  Unlike the addition routine there is guaranteed to be no carry which means that the final result can be at
-most $max$ digits in length as opposed to $max + 1$.  Similar to the addition algorithm the \textbf{used} count of $c$ is copied locally and
-set to the maximal count for the operation.
-
-The subtraction loop that begins on step seven is essentially the same as the addition loop of algorithm s\_mp\_add except single precision
-subtraction is used instead.  Note the use of the $\gamma$ variable to extract the carry (\textit{also known as the borrow}) within the subtraction
-loops.  Under the assumption that two's complement single precision arithmetic is used this will successfully extract the desired carry.
-
-For example, consider subtracting $0101_2$ from $0100_2$ where $\gamma = 4$ and $\beta = 2$.  The least significant bit will force a carry upwards to
-the third bit which will be set to zero after the borrow.  After the very first bit has been subtracted $4 - 1 \equiv 0011_2$ will remain,  When the
-third bit of $0101_2$ is subtracted from the result it will cause another carry.  In this case though the carry will be forced to propagate all the
-way to the most significant bit.
-
-Recall that $\beta < 2^{\gamma}$.  This means that if a carry does occur just before the $lg(\beta)$'th bit it will propagate all the way to the most
-significant bit.  Thus, the high order bits of the mp\_digit that are not part of the actual digit will either be all zero, or all one. All that
-is needed is a single zero or one bit for the carry.  Therefore a single logical shift right by $\gamma - 1$ positions is sufficient to extract the
-carry.  This method of carry extraction may seem awkward but the reason for it becomes apparent when the implementation is discussed.
-
-If $b$ has a smaller magnitude than $a$ then step 9 will force the carry and copy operation to propagate through the larger input $a$ into $c$.  Step
-10 will ensure that any leading digits of $c$ above the $max$'th position are zeroed.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_sub.c
-
-Like low level addition we ``sort'' the inputs.  Except in this case the sorting is hardcoded
-(lines @24,min@ and @25,max@).  In reality the $min$ and $max$ variables are only aliases and are only
-used to make the source code easier to read.  Again the pointer alias optimization is used
-within this algorithm.  The aliases $tmpa$, $tmpb$ and $tmpc$ are initialized
-(lines @42,tmpa@, @43,tmpb@ and @44,tmpc@) for $a$, $b$ and $c$ respectively.
-
-The first subtraction loop (lines @47,u = 0@ through @61,}@) subtract digits from both inputs until the smaller of
-the two inputs has been exhausted.  As remarked earlier there is an implementation reason for using the ``awkward''
-method of extracting the carry (line @57, >>@).  The traditional method for extracting the carry would be to shift
-by $lg(\beta)$ positions and logically AND the least significant bit.  The AND operation is required because all of
-the bits above the $\lg(\beta)$'th bit will be set to one after a carry occurs from subtraction.  This carry
-extraction requires two relatively cheap operations to extract the carry.  The other method is to simply shift the
-most significant bit to the least significant bit thus extracting the carry with a single cheap operation.  This
-optimization only works on twos compliment machines which is a safe assumption to make.
-
-If $a$ has a larger magnitude than $b$ an additional loop (lines @64,for@ through @73,}@) is required to propagate
-the carry through $a$ and copy the result to $c$.
-
-\subsection{High Level Addition}
-Now that both lower level addition and subtraction algorithms have been established an effective high level signed addition algorithm can be
-established.  This high level addition algorithm will be what other algorithms and developers will use to perform addition of mp\_int data
-types.
-
-Recall from section 5.2 that an mp\_int represents an integer with an unsigned mantissa (\textit{the array of digits}) and a \textbf{sign}
-flag.  A high level addition is actually performed as a series of eight separate cases which can be optimized down to three unique cases.

-\caption{Addition Guide Chart}
-\label{fig:AddChart}
-\end{figure}
-
-Figure~\ref{fig:AddChart} lists all of the eight possible input combinations and is sorted to show that only three
-specific cases need to be handled.  The return code of the unsigned operations at step 1.2, 2.1.2 and 2.2.2 are
-forwarded to step three to check for errors.  This simplifies the description of the algorithm considerably and best
-follows how the implementation actually was achieved.
-
-Also note how the \textbf{sign} is set before the unsigned addition or subtraction is performed.  Recall from the descriptions of algorithms
-s\_mp\_add and s\_mp\_sub that the mp\_clamp function is used at the end to trim excess digits.  The mp\_clamp algorithm will set the \textbf{sign}
-to \textbf{MP\_ZPOS} when the \textbf{used} digit count reaches zero.
-
-For example, consider performing $-a + a$ with algorithm mp\_add.  By the description of the algorithm the sign is set to \textbf{MP\_NEG} which would
-produce a result of $-0$.  However, since the sign is set first then the unsigned addition is performed the subsequent usage of algorithm mp\_clamp
-within algorithm s\_mp\_add will force $-0$ to become $0$.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_add.c
-
-The source code follows the algorithm fairly closely.  The most notable new source code addition is the usage of the $res$ integer variable which
-is used to pass result of the unsigned operations forward.  Unlike in the algorithm, the variable $res$ is merely returned as is without
-explicitly checking it and returning the constant \textbf{MP\_OKAY}.  The observation is this algorithm will succeed or fail only if the lower
-level functions do so.  Returning their return code is sufficient.
-
-\subsection{High Level Subtraction}
-The high level signed subtraction algorithm is essentially the same as the high level signed addition algorithm.

-\section{Bit and Digit Shifting}
-MARK,POLY
-It is quite common to think of a multiple precision integer as a polynomial in $x$, that is $y = f(\beta)$ where $f(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} a_i x^i$.
-This notation arises within discussion of Montgomery and Diminished Radix Reduction as well as Karatsuba multiplication and squaring.
-
-In order to facilitate operations on polynomials in $x$ as above a series of simple ``digit'' algorithms have to be established.  That is to shift
-the digits left or right as well to shift individual bits of the digits left and right.  It is important to note that not all ``shift'' operations
-are on radix-$\beta$ digits.
-
-\subsection{Multiplication by Two}
-
-In a binary system where the radix is a power of two multiplication by two not only arises often in other algorithms it is a fairly efficient
-operation to perform.  A single precision logical shift left is sufficient to multiply a single digit by two.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_mul\_2.}
-This algorithm will quickly multiply a mp\_int by two provided $\beta$ is a power of two.  Neither \cite{TAOCPV2} nor \cite{HAC} describe such
-an algorithm despite the fact it arises often in other algorithms.  The algorithm is setup much like the lower level algorithm s\_mp\_add since
-it is for all intents and purposes equivalent to the operation $b = \vert a \vert + \vert a \vert$.
-
-Step 1 and 2 grow the input as required to accomodate the maximum number of \textbf{used} digits in the result.  The initial \textbf{used} count
-is set to $a.used$ at step 4.  Only if there is a final carry will the \textbf{used} count require adjustment.
-
-Step 6 is an optimization implementation of the addition loop for this specific case.  That is since the two values being added together
-are the same there is no need to perform two reads from the digits of $a$.  Step 6.1 performs a single precision shift on the current digit $a_n$ to
-obtain what will be the carry for the next iteration.  Step 6.2 calculates the $n$'th digit of the result as single precision shift of $a_n$ plus
-the previous carry.  Recall from ~SHIFTS~ that $a_n << 1$ is equivalent to $a_n \cdot 2$.  An iteration of the addition loop is finished with
-forwarding the carry to the next iteration.
-
-Step 7 takes care of any final carry by setting the $a.used$'th digit of the result to the carry and augmenting the \textbf{used} count of $b$.
-Step 8 clears any leading digits of $b$ in case it originally had a larger magnitude than $a$.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_mul_2.c
-
-This implementation is essentially an optimized implementation of s\_mp\_add for the case of doubling an input.  The only noteworthy difference
-is the use of the logical shift operator on line @52,<<@ to perform a single precision doubling.
-
-\subsection{Division by Two}
-A division by two can just as easily be accomplished with a logical shift right as multiplication by two can be with a logical shift left.

-\section{Polynomial Basis Operations}
-Recall from ~POLY~ that any integer can be represented as a polynomial in $x$ as $y = f(\beta)$.  Such a representation is also known as
-the polynomial basis \cite[pp. 48]{ROSE}. Given such a notation a multiplication or division by $x$ amounts to shifting whole digits a single
-place.  The need for such operations arises in several other higher level algorithms such as Barrett and Montgomery reduction, integer
-division and Karatsuba multiplication.
-
-Converting from an array of digits to polynomial basis is very simple.  Consider the integer $y \equiv (a_2, a_1, a_0)_{\beta}$ and recall that
-$y = \sum_{i=0}^{2} a_i \beta^i$.  Simply replace $\beta$ with $x$ and the expression is in polynomial basis.  For example, $f(x) = 8x + 9$ is the
-polynomial basis representation for $89$ using radix ten.  That is, $f(10) = 8(10) + 9 = 89$.
-
-\subsection{Multiplication by $x$}
-
-Given a polynomial in $x$ such as $f(x) = a_n x^n + a_{n-1} x^{n-1} + ... + a_0$ multiplying by $x$ amounts to shifting the coefficients up one
-degree.  In this case $f(x) \cdot x = a_n x^{n+1} + a_{n-1} x^n + ... + a_0 x$.  From a scalar basis point of view multiplying by $x$ is equivalent to
-multiplying by the integer $\beta$.

-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_lshd.}
-This algorithm multiplies an mp\_int by the $b$'th power of $x$.  This is equivalent to multiplying by $\beta^b$.  The algorithm differs
-from the other algorithms presented so far as it performs the operation in place instead storing the result in a separate location.  The
-motivation behind this change is due to the way this function is typically used.  Algorithms such as mp\_add store the result in an optionally
-different third mp\_int because the original inputs are often still required.  Algorithm mp\_lshd (\textit{and similarly algorithm mp\_rshd}) is
-typically used on values where the original value is no longer required.  The algorithm will return success immediately if
-$b \le 0$ since the rest of algorithm is only valid when $b > 0$.
-
-First the destination $a$ is grown as required to accomodate the result.  The counters $i$ and $j$ are used to form a \textit{sliding window} over
-the digits of $a$ of length $b$.  The head of the sliding window is at $i$ (\textit{the leading digit}) and the tail at $j$ (\textit{the trailing digit}).
-The loop on step 7 copies the digit from the tail to the head.  In each iteration the window is moved down one digit.   The last loop on
-step 8 sets the lower $b$ digits to zero.

-EXAM,bn_mp_lshd.c
-
-The if statement (line @24,if@) ensures that the $b$ variable is greater than zero since we do not interpret negative
-shift counts properly.  The \textbf{used} count is incremented by $b$ before the copy loop begins.  This elminates
-the need for an additional variable in the for loop.  The variable $top$ (line @42,top@) is an alias
-for the leading digit while $bottom$ (line @45,bottom@) is an alias for the trailing edge.  The aliases form a
-window of exactly $b$ digits over the input.

-\subsection{Division by $x$}

-Division by powers of $x$ is easily achieved by shifting the digits right and removing any that will end up to the right of the zero'th digit.

-After the trivial cases of inputs have been handled the sliding window is setup.  Much like the case of algorithm mp\_lshd a sliding window that
-is $b$ digits wide is used to copy the digits.  Unlike mp\_lshd the window slides in the opposite direction from the trailing to the leading digit.
-Also the digits are copied from the leading to the trailing edge.
-
-Once the window copy is complete the upper digits must be zeroed and the \textbf{used} count decremented.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_rshd.c
-
-The only noteworthy element of this routine is the lack of a return type since it cannot fail.  Like mp\_lshd() we
-form a sliding window except we copy in the other direction.  After the window (line @59,for (;@) we then zero
-the upper digits of the input to make sure the result is correct.
-
-\section{Powers of Two}
-
-Now that algorithms for moving single bits as well as whole digits exist algorithms for moving the ``in between'' distances are required.  For
-example, to quickly multiply by $2^k$ for any $k$ without using a full multiplier algorithm would prove useful.  Instead of performing single
-shifts $k$ times to achieve a multiplication by $2^{\pm k}$ a mixture of whole digit shifting and partial digit shifting is employed.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_mul\_2d.}
-This algorithm multiplies $a$ by $2^b$ and stores the result in $c$.  The algorithm uses algorithm mp\_lshd and a derivative of algorithm mp\_mul\_2 to
-quickly compute the product.
-
-First the algorithm will multiply $a$ by $x^{\lfloor b / lg(\beta) \rfloor}$ which will ensure that the remainder multiplicand is less than
-$\beta$.  For example, if $b = 37$ and $\beta = 2^{28}$ then this step will multiply by $x$ leaving a multiplication by $2^{37 - 28} = 2^{9}$
-left.
-
-After the digits have been shifted appropriately at most $lg(\beta) - 1$ shifts are left to perform.  Step 5 calculates the number of remaining shifts
-required.  If it is non-zero a modified shift loop is used to calculate the remaining product.
-Essentially the loop is a generic version of algorithm mp\_mul\_2 designed to handle any shift count in the range $1 \le x < lg(\beta)$.  The $mask$
-variable is used to extract the upper $d$ bits to form the carry for the next iteration.
-
-This algorithm is loosely measured as a $O(2n)$ algorithm which means that if the input is $n$-digits that it takes $2n$ ``time'' to
-complete.  It is possible to optimize this algorithm down to a $O(n)$ algorithm at a cost of making the algorithm slightly harder to follow.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_mul_2d.c
-
-The shifting is performed in--place which means the first step (line @24,a != c@) is to copy the input to the
-destination.  We avoid calling mp\_copy() by making sure the mp\_ints are different.  The destination then
-has to be grown (line @31,grow@) to accomodate the result.
-
-If the shift count $b$ is larger than $lg(\beta)$ then a call to mp\_lshd() is used to handle all of the multiples
-of $lg(\beta)$.  Leaving only a remaining shift of $lg(\beta) - 1$ or fewer bits left.  Inside the actual shift
-loop (lines @45,if@ to @76,}@) we make use of pre--computed values $shift$ and $mask$.   These are used to
-extract the carry bit(s) to pass into the next iteration of the loop.  The $r$ and $rr$ variables form a
-chain between consecutive iterations to propagate the carry.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_div\_2d.}
-This algorithm will divide an input $a$ by $2^b$ and produce the quotient and remainder.  The algorithm is designed much like algorithm
-mp\_mul\_2d by first using whole digit shifts then single precision shifts.  This algorithm will also produce the remainder of the division
-by using algorithm mp\_mod\_2d.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_div_2d.c
-
-The implementation of algorithm mp\_div\_2d is slightly different than the algorithm specifies.  The remainder $d$ may be optionally
-ignored by passing \textbf{NULL} as the pointer to the mp\_int variable.    The temporary mp\_int variable $t$ is used to hold the
-result of the remainder operation until the end.  This allows $d$ and $a$ to represent the same mp\_int without modifying $a$ before
-the quotient is obtained.
-
-The remainder of the source code is essentially the same as the source code for mp\_mul\_2d.  The only significant difference is
-the direction of the shifts.

-\subsection{Remainder of Division by Power of Two}
-
-The last algorithm in the series of polynomial basis power of two algorithms is calculating the remainder of division by $2^b$.  This

-\chapter{Multiplication and Squaring}
-\section{The Multipliers}
-For most number theoretic problems including certain public key cryptographic algorithms, the ``multipliers'' form the most important subset of
-algorithms of any multiple precision integer package.  The set of multiplier algorithms include integer multiplication, squaring and modular reduction
-where in each of the algorithms single precision multiplication is the dominant operation performed.  This chapter will discuss integer multiplication
-and squaring, leaving modular reductions for the subsequent chapter.
-
-The importance of the multiplier algorithms is for the most part driven by the fact that certain popular public key algorithms are based on modular
-exponentiation, that is computing $d \equiv a^b \mbox{ (mod }c\mbox{)}$ for some arbitrary choice of $a$, $b$, $c$ and $d$.  During a modular
-exponentiation the majority\footnote{Roughly speaking a modular exponentiation will spend about 40\% of the time performing modular reductions,
-35\% of the time performing squaring and 25\% of the time performing multiplications.} of the processor time is spent performing single precision
-multiplications.
-
-For centuries general purpose multiplication has required a lengthly $O(n^2)$ process, whereby each digit of one multiplicand has to be multiplied
-against every digit of the other multiplicand.  Traditional long-hand multiplication is based on this process;  while the techniques can differ the
-overall algorithm used is essentially the same.  Only ``recently'' have faster algorithms been studied.  First Karatsuba multiplication was discovered in
-1962.  This algorithm can multiply two numbers with considerably fewer single precision multiplications when compared to the long-hand approach.
-This technique led to the discovery of polynomial basis algorithms (\textit{good reference?}) and subquently Fourier Transform based solutions.
-
-\section{Multiplication}
-\subsection{The Baseline Multiplication}
-\label{sec:basemult}
-\index{baseline multiplication}
-Computing the product of two integers in software can be achieved using a trivial adaptation of the standard $O(n^2)$ long-hand multiplication
-algorithm that school children are taught.  The algorithm is considered an $O(n^2)$ algorithm since for two $n$-digit inputs $n^2$ single precision
-multiplications are required.  More specifically for a $m$ and $n$ digit input $m \cdot n$ single precision multiplications are required.  To
-simplify most discussions, it will be assumed that the inputs have comparable number of digits.
-
-The ``baseline multiplication'' algorithm is designed to act as the ``catch-all'' algorithm, only to be used when the faster algorithms cannot be
-used.  This algorithm does not use any particularly interesting optimizations and should ideally be avoided if possible.    One important
-facet of this algorithm, is that it has been modified to only produce a certain amount of output digits as resolution.  The importance of this
-modification will become evident during the discussion of Barrett modular reduction.  Recall that for a $n$ and $m$ digit input the product
-will be at most $n + m$ digits.  Therefore, this algorithm can be reduced to a full multiplier by having it produce $n + m$ digits of the product.
-
-Recall from ~GAMMA~ the definition of $\gamma$ as the number of bits in the type \textbf{mp\_digit}.  We shall now extend the variable set to
-include $\alpha$ which shall represent the number of bits in the type \textbf{mp\_word}.  This implies that $2^{\alpha} > 2 \cdot \beta^2$.  The
-constant $\delta = 2^{\alpha - 2lg(\beta)}$ will represent the maximal weight of any column in a product (\textit{see ~COMBA~ for more information}).

-\textbf{Algorithm s\_mp\_mul\_digs.}
-This algorithm computes the unsigned product of two inputs $a$ and $b$, limited to an output precision of $digs$ digits.  While it may seem
-a bit awkward to modify the function from its simple $O(n^2)$ description, the usefulness of partial multipliers will arise in a subsequent
-algorithm.  The algorithm is loosely based on algorithm 14.12 from \cite[pp. 595]{HAC} and is similar to Algorithm M of Knuth \cite[pp. 268]{TAOCPV2}.
-Algorithm s\_mp\_mul\_digs differs from these cited references since it can produce a variable output precision regardless of the precision of the
-inputs.
-
-The first thing this algorithm checks for is whether a Comba multiplier can be used instead.   If the minimum digit count of either
-input is less than $\delta$, then the Comba method may be used instead.    After the Comba method is ruled out, the baseline algorithm begins.  A
-temporary mp\_int variable $t$ is used to hold the intermediate result of the product.  This allows the algorithm to be used to
-compute products when either $a = c$ or $b = c$ without overwriting the inputs.
-
-All of step 5 is the infamous $O(n^2)$ multiplication loop slightly modified to only produce upto $digs$ digits of output.  The $pb$ variable
-is given the count of digits to read from $b$ inside the nested loop.  If $pb \le 1$ then no more output digits can be produced and the algorithm
-will exit the loop.  The best way to think of the loops are as a series of $pb \times 1$ multiplications.    That is, in each pass of the
-innermost loop $a_{ix}$ is multiplied against $b$ and the result is added (\textit{with an appropriate shift}) to $t$.
-
-For example, consider multiplying $576$ by $241$.  That is equivalent to computing $10^0(1)(576) + 10^1(4)(576) + 10^2(2)(576)$ which is best
-visualized in the following table.

-\caption{Long-Hand Multiplication Diagram}
-\end{figure}
-
-Each row of the product is added to the result after being shifted to the left (\textit{multiplied by a power of the radix}) by the appropriate
-count.  That is in pass $ix$ of the inner loop the product is added starting at the $ix$'th digit of the reult.
-
-Step 5.4.1 introduces the hat symbol (\textit{e.g. $\hat r$}) which represents a double precision variable.  The multiplication on that step
-is assumed to be a double wide output single precision multiplication.  That is, two single precision variables are multiplied to produce a
-double precision result.  The step is somewhat optimized from a long-hand multiplication algorithm because the carry from the addition in step
-5.4.1 is propagated through the nested loop.  If the carry was not propagated immediately it would overflow the single precision digit
-$t_{ix+iy}$ and the result would be lost.
-
-At step 5.5 the nested loop is finished and any carry that was left over should be forwarded.  The carry does not have to be added to the $ix+pb$'th
-digit since that digit is assumed to be zero at this point.  However, if $ix + pb \ge digs$ the carry is not set as it would make the result
-exceed the precision requested.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_mul_digs.c
-
-First we determine (line @30,if@) if the Comba method can be used first since it's faster.  The conditions for
-sing the Comba routine are that min$(a.used, b.used) < \delta$ and the number of digits of output is less than
-\textbf{MP\_WARRAY}.  This new constant is used to control the stack usage in the Comba routines.  By default it is
-set to $\delta$ but can be reduced when memory is at a premium.
-
-If we cannot use the Comba method we proceed to setup the baseline routine.  We allocate the the destination mp\_int
-$t$ (line @36,init@) to the exact size of the output to avoid further re--allocations.  At this point we now
-begin the $O(n^2)$ loop.
-
-This implementation of multiplication has the caveat that it can be trimmed to only produce a variable number of
-digits as output.  In each iteration of the outer loop the $pb$ variable is set (line @48,MIN@) to the maximum
-number of inner loop iterations.
-
-Inside the inner loop we calculate $\hat r$ as the mp\_word product of the two mp\_digits and the addition of the
-carry from the previous iteration.  A particularly important observation is that most modern optimizing
-C compilers (GCC for instance) can recognize that a $N \times N \rightarrow 2N$ multiplication is all that
-is required for the product.  In x86 terms for example, this means using the MUL instruction.
-
-Each digit of the product is stored in turn (line @68,tmpt@) and the carry propagated (line @71,>>@) to the
-next iteration.
-
-\subsection{Faster Multiplication by the ``Comba'' Method}
-MARK,COMBA
-
-One of the huge drawbacks of the ``baseline'' algorithms is that at the $O(n^2)$ level the carry must be
-computed and propagated upwards.  This makes the nested loop very sequential and hard to unroll and implement
-in parallel.  The ``Comba'' \cite{COMBA} method is named after little known (\textit{in cryptographic venues}) Paul G.
-Comba who described a method of implementing fast multipliers that do not require nested carry fixup operations.  As an
-interesting aside it seems that Paul Barrett describes a similar technique in his 1986 paper \cite{BARRETT} written
-five years before.
-
-At the heart of the Comba technique is once again the long-hand algorithm.  Except in this case a slight
-twist is placed on how the columns of the result are produced.  In the standard long-hand algorithm rows of products
-are produced then added together to form the final result.  In the baseline algorithm the columns are added together
-after each iteration to get the result instantaneously.
-
-In the Comba algorithm the columns of the result are produced entirely independently of each other.  That is at
-the $O(n^2)$ level a simple multiplication and addition step is performed.  The carries of the columns are propagated
-after the nested loop to reduce the amount of work requiored. Succintly the first step of the algorithm is to compute
-the product vector $\vec x$ as follows.
-
-\begin{equation}
-\vec x_n = \sum_{i+j = n} a_ib_j, \forall n \in \lbrace 0, 1, 2, \ldots, i + j \rbrace
-\end{equation}
-
-Where $\vec x_n$ is the $n'th$ column of the output vector.  Consider the following example which computes the vector $\vec x$ for the multiplication
-of $576$ and $241$.

-At this point the vector $x = \left < 10, 34, 45, 31, 6 \right >$ is the result of the first step of the Comba multipler.
-Now the columns must be fixed by propagating the carry upwards.  The resultant vector will have one extra dimension over the input vector which is
-congruent to adding a leading zero digit.

-With that algorithm and $k = 5$ and $\beta = 10$ the following vector is produced $\vec x= \left < 1, 3, 8, 8, 1, 6 \right >$.  In this case
-$241 \cdot 576$ is in fact $138816$ and the procedure succeeded.  If the algorithm is correct and as will be demonstrated shortly more
-efficient than the baseline algorithm why not simply always use this algorithm?
-
-\subsubsection{Column Weight.}
-At the nested $O(n^2)$ level the Comba method adds the product of two single precision variables to each column of the output
-independently.  A serious obstacle is if the carry is lost, due to lack of precision before the algorithm has a chance to fix
-the carries.  For example, in the multiplication of two three-digit numbers the third column of output will be the sum of
-three single precision multiplications.  If the precision of the accumulator for the output digits is less then $3 \cdot (\beta - 1)^2$ then
-an overflow can occur and the carry information will be lost.  For any $m$ and $n$ digit inputs the maximum weight of any column is
-min$(m, n)$ which is fairly obvious.
-
-The maximum number of terms in any column of a product is known as the ``column weight'' and strictly governs when the algorithm can be used.  Recall
-from earlier that a double precision type has $\alpha$ bits of resolution and a single precision digit has $lg(\beta)$ bits of precision.  Given these
-two quantities we must not violate the following
-
-\begin{equation}
-k \cdot \left (\beta - 1 \right )^2 < 2^{\alpha}
-\end{equation}
-
-Which reduces to
-
-\begin{equation}
-k \cdot \left ( \beta^2 - 2\beta + 1 \right ) < 2^{\alpha}
-\end{equation}
-
-Let $\rho = lg(\beta)$ represent the number of bits in a single precision digit.  By further re-arrangement of the equation the final solution is
-found.
-
-\begin{equation}
-k  < {{2^{\alpha}} \over {\left (2^{2\rho} - 2^{\rho + 1} + 1 \right )}}
-\end{equation}
-
-The defaults for LibTomMath are $\beta = 2^{28}$ and $\alpha = 2^{64}$ which means that $k$ is bounded by $k < 257$.  In this configuration
-the smaller input may not have more than $256$ digits if the Comba method is to be used.  This is quite satisfactory for most applications since
-$256$ digits would allow for numbers in the range of $0 \le x < 2^{7168}$ which, is much larger than most public key cryptographic algorithms require.

-\end{figure}

-\textbf{Algorithm fast\_s\_mp\_mul\_digs.}
-This algorithm performs the unsigned multiplication of $a$ and $b$ using the Comba method limited to $digs$ digits of precision.
-
-The outer loop of this algorithm is more complicated than that of the baseline multiplier.  This is because on the inside of the
-loop we want to produce one column per pass.  This allows the accumulator $\_ \hat W$ to be placed in CPU registers and
-reduce the memory bandwidth to two \textbf{mp\_digit} reads per iteration.
-
-The $ty$ variable is set to the minimum count of $ix$ or the number of digits in $b$.  That way if $a$ has more digits than
-$b$ this will be limited to $b.used - 1$.  The $tx$ variable is set to the to the distance past $b.used$ the variable
-$ix$ is.  This is used for the immediately subsequent statement where we find $iy$.
-
-The variable $iy$ is the minimum digits we can read from either $a$ or $b$ before running out.  Computing one column at a time
-means we have to scan one integer upwards and the other downwards.  $a$ starts at $tx$ and $b$ starts at $ty$.  In each
-pass we are producing the $ix$'th output column and we note that $tx + ty = ix$.  As we move $tx$ upwards we have to
-move $ty$ downards so the equality remains valid.  The $iy$ variable is the number of iterations until
-$tx \ge a.used$ or $ty < 0$ occurs.
-
-After every inner pass we store the lower half of the accumulator into $W_{ix}$ and then propagate the carry of the accumulator
-into the next round by dividing $\_ \hat W$ by $\beta$.
-
-To measure the benefits of the Comba method over the baseline method consider the number of operations that are required.  If the
-cost in terms of time of a multiply and addition is $p$ and the cost of a carry propagation is $q$ then a baseline multiplication would require
-$O \left ((p + q)n^2 \right )$ time to multiply two $n$-digit numbers.  The Comba method requires only $O(pn^2 + qn)$ time, however in practice,
-the speed increase is actually much more.  With $O(n)$ space the algorithm can be reduced to $O(pn + qn)$ time by implementing the $n$ multiply
-and addition operations in the nested loop in parallel.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_mul_digs_fast.c
-
-As per the pseudo--code we first calculate $pa$ (line @47,MIN@) as the number of digits to output.  Next we begin the outer loop
-to produce the individual columns of the product.  We use the two aliases $tmpx$ and $tmpy$ (lines @61,tmpx@, @62,tmpy@) to point
-inside the two multiplicands quickly.
-
-The inner loop (lines @70,for@ to @72,}@) of this implementation is where the tradeoff come into play.  Originally this comba
-implementation was ``row--major'' which means it adds to each of the columns in each pass.  After the outer loop it would then fix
-the carries.  This was very fast except it had an annoying drawback.  You had to read a mp\_word and two mp\_digits and write
-one mp\_word per iteration.  On processors such as the Athlon XP and P4 this did not matter much since the cache bandwidth
-is very high and it can keep the ALU fed with data.  It did, however, matter on older and embedded cpus where cache is often
-slower and also often doesn't exist.  This new algorithm only performs two reads per iteration under the assumption that the
-compiler has aliased $\_ \hat W$ to a CPU register.
-
-After the inner loop we store the current accumulator in $W$ and shift $\_ \hat W$ (lines @75,W[ix]@, @78,>>@) to forward it as
-a carry for the next pass.  After the outer loop we use the final carry (line @82,W[ix]@) as the last digit of the product.
-
-\subsection{Polynomial Basis Multiplication}
-To break the $O(n^2)$ barrier in multiplication requires a completely different look at integer multiplication.  In the following algorithms
-the use of polynomial basis representation for two integers $a$ and $b$ as $f(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{n} a_i x^i$ and
-$g(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{n} b_i x^i$ respectively, is required.  In this system both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ have $n + 1$ terms and are of the $n$'th degree.
-
-The product $a \cdot b \equiv f(x)g(x)$ is the polynomial $W(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{2n} w_i x^i$.  The coefficients $w_i$ will
-directly yield the desired product when $\beta$ is substituted for $x$.  The direct solution to solve for the $2n + 1$ coefficients
-requires $O(n^2)$ time and would in practice be slower than the Comba technique.
-
-However, numerical analysis theory indicates that only $2n + 1$ distinct points in $W(x)$ are required to determine the values of the $2n + 1$ unknown
-coefficients.   This means by finding $\zeta_y = W(y)$ for $2n + 1$ small values of $y$ the coefficients of $W(x)$ can be found with
-Gaussian elimination.  This technique is also occasionally refered to as the \textit{interpolation technique} (\textit{references please...}) since in
-effect an interpolation based on $2n + 1$ points will yield a polynomial equivalent to $W(x)$.
-
-The coefficients of the polynomial $W(x)$ are unknown which makes finding $W(y)$ for any value of $y$ impossible.  However, since
-$W(x) = f(x)g(x)$ the equivalent $\zeta_y = f(y) g(y)$ can be used in its place.  The benefit of this technique stems from the
-fact that $f(y)$ and $g(y)$ are much smaller than either $a$ or $b$ respectively.  As a result finding the $2n + 1$ relations required
-by multiplying $f(y)g(y)$ involves multiplying integers that are much smaller than either of the inputs.
-
-When picking points to gather relations there are always three obvious points to choose, $y = 0, 1$ and $ \infty$.  The $\zeta_0$ term
-is simply the product $W(0) = w_0 = a_0 \cdot b_0$.  The $\zeta_1$ term is the product
-$W(1) = \left (\sum_{i = 0}^{n} a_i \right ) \left (\sum_{i = 0}^{n} b_i \right )$.  The third point $\zeta_{\infty}$ is less obvious but rather
-simple to explain.  The $2n + 1$'th coefficient of $W(x)$ is numerically equivalent to the most significant column in an integer multiplication.
-The point at $\infty$ is used symbolically to represent the most significant column, that is $W(\infty) = w_{2n} = a_nb_n$.  Note that the
-points at $y = 0$ and $\infty$ yield the coefficients $w_0$ and $w_{2n}$ directly.
-
-If more points are required they should be of small values and powers of two such as $2^q$ and the related \textit{mirror points}
-$\left (2^q \right )^{2n}  \cdot \zeta_{2^{-q}}$ for small values of $q$.  The term ``mirror point'' stems from the fact that
-$\left (2^q \right )^{2n}  \cdot \zeta_{2^{-q}}$ can be calculated in the exact opposite fashion as $\zeta_{2^q}$.  For
-example, when $n = 2$ and $q = 1$ then following two equations are equivalent to the point $\zeta_{2}$ and its mirror.
-
-\begin{eqnarray}
-\zeta_{2}                  = f(2)g(2) = (4a_2 + 2a_1 + a_0)(4b_2 + 2b_1 + b_0) \nonumber \\
-16 \cdot \zeta_{1 \over 2} = 4f({1\over 2}) \cdot 4g({1 \over 2}) = (a_2 + 2a_1 + 4a_0)(b_2 + 2b_1 + 4b_0)
-\end{eqnarray}
-
-Using such points will allow the values of $f(y)$ and $g(y)$ to be independently calculated using only left shifts.  For example, when $n = 2$ the
-polynomial $f(2^q)$ is equal to $2^q((2^qa_2) + a_1) + a_0$.  This technique of polynomial representation is known as Horner's method.
-
-As a general rule of the algorithm when the inputs are split into $n$ parts each there are $2n - 1$ multiplications.  Each multiplication is of
-multiplicands that have $n$ times fewer digits than the inputs.  The asymptotic running time of this algorithm is
-$O \left ( k^{lg_n(2n - 1)} \right )$ for $k$ digit inputs (\textit{assuming they have the same number of digits}).  Figure~\ref{fig:exponent}
-summarizes the exponents for various values of $n$.

-
-At first it may seem like a good idea to choose $n = 1000$ since the exponent is approximately $1.1$.  However, the overhead
-of solving for the 2001 terms of $W(x)$ will certainly consume any savings the algorithm could offer for all but exceedingly large
-numbers.
-
-\subsubsection{Cutoff Point}
-The polynomial basis multiplication algorithms all require fewer single precision multiplications than a straight Comba approach.  However,
-the algorithms incur an overhead (\textit{at the $O(n)$ work level}) since they require a system of equations to be solved.  This makes the
-polynomial basis approach more costly to use with small inputs.
-
-Let $m$ represent the number of digits in the multiplicands (\textit{assume both multiplicands have the same number of digits}).  There exists a
-point $y$ such that when $m < y$ the polynomial basis algorithms are more costly than Comba, when $m = y$ they are roughly the same cost and
-when $m > y$ the Comba methods are slower than the polynomial basis algorithms.
-
-The exact location of $y$ depends on several key architectural elements of the computer platform in question.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item  The ratio of clock cycles for single precision multiplication versus other simpler operations such as addition, shifting, etc.  For example
-on the AMD Athlon the ratio is roughly $17 : 1$ while on the Intel P4 it is $29 : 1$.  The higher the ratio in favour of multiplication the lower
-the cutoff point $y$ will be.
-
-\item  The complexity of the linear system of equations (\textit{for the coefficients of $W(x)$}) is.  Generally speaking as the number of splits
-grows the complexity grows substantially.  Ideally solving the system will only involve addition, subtraction and shifting of integers.  This
-directly reflects on the ratio previous mentioned.
-
-\item  To a lesser extent memory bandwidth and function call overheads.  Provided the values are in the processor cache this is less of an
-influence over the cutoff point.
-
-\end{enumerate}
-
-A clean cutoff point separation occurs when a point $y$ is found such that all of the cutoff point conditions are met.  For example, if the point
-is too low then there will be values of $m$ such that $m > y$ and the Comba method is still faster.  Finding the cutoff points is fairly simple when
-a high resolution timer is available.
-
-\subsection{Karatsuba Multiplication}
-Karatsuba \cite{KARA} multiplication when originally proposed in 1962 was among the first set of algorithms to break the $O(n^2)$ barrier for
-general purpose multiplication.  Given two polynomial basis representations $f(x) = ax + b$ and $g(x) = cx + d$, Karatsuba proved with
-light algebra \cite{KARAP} that the following polynomial is equivalent to multiplication of the two integers the polynomials represent.
-
-\begin{equation}
-f(x) \cdot g(x) = acx^2 + ((a + b)(c + d) - (ac + bd))x + bd
-\end{equation}
-
-Using the observation that $ac$ and $bd$ could be re-used only three half sized multiplications would be required to produce the product.  Applying
-this algorithm recursively, the work factor becomes $O(n^{lg(3)})$ which is substantially better than the work factor $O(n^2)$ of the Comba technique.  It turns
-out what Karatsuba did not know or at least did not publish was that this is simply polynomial basis multiplication with the points
-$\zeta_0$, $\zeta_{\infty}$ and $\zeta_{1}$.  Consider the resultant system of equations.
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{rcrcrcrc}
-$\zeta_{0}$ &      $=$ &  &  &  & & $w_0$ \\
-$\zeta_{1}$ &      $=$ & $w_2$ & $+$ & $w_1$ & $+$ & $w_0$ \\
-$\zeta_{\infty}$ & $=$ & $w_2$ &  & &  & \\
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-By adding the first and last equation to the equation in the middle the term $w_1$ can be isolated and all three coefficients solved for.  The simplicity
-of this system of equations has made Karatsuba fairly popular.  In fact the cutoff point is often fairly low\footnote{With LibTomMath 0.18 it is 70 and 109 digits for the Intel P4 and AMD Athlon respectively.}
-making it an ideal algorithm to speed up certain public key cryptosystems such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_karatsuba\_mul.}
-This algorithm computes the unsigned product of two inputs using the Karatsuba multiplication algorithm.  It is loosely based on the description
-from Knuth \cite[pp. 294-295]{TAOCPV2}.
-
-\index{radix point}
-In order to split the two inputs into their respective halves, a suitable \textit{radix point} must be chosen.  The radix point chosen must
-be used for both of the inputs meaning that it must be smaller than the smallest input.  Step 3 chooses the radix point $B$ as half of the
-smallest input \textbf{used} count.  After the radix point is chosen the inputs are split into lower and upper halves.  Step 4 and 5
-compute the lower halves.  Step 6 and 7 computer the upper halves.
-
-After the halves have been computed the three intermediate half-size products must be computed.  Step 8 and 9 compute the trivial products
-$x0 \cdot y0$ and $x1 \cdot y1$.  The mp\_int $x0$ is used as a temporary variable after $x1 + x0$ has been computed.  By using $x0$ instead
-of an additional temporary variable, the algorithm can avoid an addition memory allocation operation.
-
-The remaining steps 13 through 18 compute the Karatsuba polynomial through a variety of digit shifting and addition operations.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_karatsuba_mul.c
-
-The new coding element in this routine, not  seen in previous routines, is the usage of goto statements.  The conventional
-wisdom is that goto statements should be avoided.  This is generally true, however when every single function call can fail, it makes sense
-to handle error recovery with a single piece of code.  Lines @61,if@ to @75,if@ handle initializing all of the temporary variables
-required.  Note how each of the if statements goes to a different label in case of failure.  This allows the routine to correctly free only
-the temporaries that have been successfully allocated so far.
-
-The temporary variables are all initialized using the mp\_init\_size routine since they are expected to be large.  This saves the
-additional reallocation that would have been necessary.  Also $x0$, $x1$, $y0$ and $y1$ have to be able to hold at least their respective
-number of digits for the next section of code.
-
-The first algebraic portion of the algorithm is to split the two inputs into their halves.  However, instead of using mp\_mod\_2d and mp\_rshd
-to extract the halves, the respective code has been placed inline within the body of the function.  To initialize the halves, the \textbf{used} and
-\textbf{sign} members are copied first.  The first for loop on line @98,for@ copies the lower halves.  Since they are both the same magnitude it
-is simpler to calculate both lower halves in a single loop.  The for loop on lines @104,for@ and @109,for@ calculate the upper halves $x1$ and
-$y1$ respectively.
-
-By inlining the calculation of the halves, the Karatsuba multiplier has a slightly lower overhead and can be used for smaller magnitude inputs.
-
-When line @152,err@ is reached, the algorithm has completed succesfully.  The ``error status'' variable $err$ is set to \textbf{MP\_OKAY} so that
-the same code that handles errors can be used to clear the temporary variables and return.
-
-\subsection{Toom-Cook $3$-Way Multiplication}
-Toom-Cook $3$-Way \cite{TOOM} multiplication is essentially the polynomial basis algorithm for $n = 2$ except that the points  are
-chosen such that $\zeta$ is easy to compute and the resulting system of equations easy to reduce.  Here, the points $\zeta_{0}$,
-$16 \cdot \zeta_{1 \over 2}$, $\zeta_1$, $\zeta_2$ and $\zeta_{\infty}$ make up the five required points to solve for the coefficients
-of the $W(x)$.
-
-With the five relations that Toom-Cook specifies, the following system of equations is formed.

-A trivial solution to this matrix requires $12$ subtractions, two multiplications by a small power of two, two divisions by a small power

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_toom\_mul.}
-This algorithm computes the product of two mp\_int variables $a$ and $b$ using the Toom-Cook approach.  Compared to the Karatsuba multiplication, this
-algorithm has a lower asymptotic running time of approximately $O(n^{1.464})$ but at an obvious cost in overhead.  In this
-description, several statements have been compounded to save space.  The intention is that the statements are executed from left to right across
-any given step.
-
-The two inputs $a$ and $b$ are first split into three $k$-digit integers $a_0, a_1, a_2$ and $b_0, b_1, b_2$ respectively.  From these smaller
-integers the coefficients of the polynomial basis representations $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are known and can be used to find the relations required.
-
-The first two relations $w_0$ and $w_4$ are the points $\zeta_{0}$ and $\zeta_{\infty}$ respectively.  The relation $w_1, w_2$ and $w_3$ correspond
-to the points $16 \cdot \zeta_{1 \over 2}, \zeta_{2}$ and $\zeta_{1}$ respectively.  These are found using logical shifts to independently find
-$f(y)$ and $g(y)$ which significantly speeds up the algorithm.
-
-After the five relations $w_0, w_1, \ldots, w_4$ have been computed, the system they represent must be solved in order for the unknown coefficients
-$w_1, w_2$ and $w_3$ to be isolated.  The steps 18 through 25 perform the system reduction required as previously described.  Each step of
-the reduction represents the comparable matrix operation that would be performed had this been performed by pencil.  For example, step 18 indicates
-that row $1$ must be subtracted from row $4$ and simultaneously row $0$ subtracted from row $3$.
-
-Once the coeffients have been isolated, the polynomial $W(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{2n} w_i x^i$ is known.  By substituting $\beta^{k}$ for $x$, the integer
-result $a \cdot b$ is produced.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_toom_mul.c
-
-The first obvious thing to note is that this algorithm is complicated.  The complexity is worth it if you are multiplying very
-large numbers.  For example, a 10,000 digit multiplication takes approximaly 99,282,205 fewer single precision multiplications with
-Toom--Cook than a Comba or baseline approach (this is a savings of more than 99$\%$).  For most ``crypto'' sized numbers this
-algorithm is not practical as Karatsuba has a much lower cutoff point.
-
-First we split $a$ and $b$ into three roughly equal portions.  This has been accomplished (lines @40,mod@ to @69,rshd@) with
-combinations of mp\_rshd() and mp\_mod\_2d() function calls.  At this point $a = a2 \cdot \beta^2 + a1 \cdot \beta + a0$ and similiarly
-for $b$.
-
-Next we compute the five points $w0, w1, w2, w3$ and $w4$.  Recall that $w0$ and $w4$ can be computed directly from the portions so
-we get those out of the way first (lines @72,mul@ and @77,mul@).  Next we compute $w1, w2$ and $w3$ using Horners method.
-
-After this point we solve for the actual values of $w1, w2$ and $w3$ by reducing the $5 \times 5$ system which is relatively
-straight forward.
-
-\subsection{Signed Multiplication}
-Now that algorithms to handle multiplications of every useful dimensions have been developed, a rather simple finishing touch is required.  So far all
-of the multiplication algorithms have been unsigned multiplications which leaves only a signed multiplication algorithm to be established.

-\section{Squaring}
-\label{sec:basesquare}
-
-Squaring is a special case of multiplication where both multiplicands are equal.  At first it may seem like there is no significant optimization
-available but in fact there is.  Consider the multiplication of $576$ against $241$.  In total there will be nine single precision multiplications
-performed which are $1\cdot 6$, $1 \cdot 7$, $1 \cdot 5$, $4 \cdot 6$, $4 \cdot 7$, $4 \cdot 5$, $2 \cdot  6$, $2 \cdot 7$ and $2 \cdot 5$.  Now consider
-the multiplication of $123$ against $123$.  The nine products are $3 \cdot 3$, $3 \cdot 2$, $3 \cdot 1$, $2 \cdot 3$, $2 \cdot 2$, $2 \cdot 1$,
-$1 \cdot 3$, $1 \cdot 2$ and $1 \cdot 1$.  On closer inspection some of the products are equivalent.  For example, $3 \cdot 2 = 2 \cdot 3$
-and $3 \cdot 1 = 1 \cdot 3$.
-
-For any $n$-digit input, there are ${{\left (n^2 + n \right)}\over 2}$ possible unique single precision multiplications required compared to the $n^2$
-required for multiplication.  The following diagram gives an example of the operations required.

-MARK,SQUARE
-Starting from zero and numbering the columns from right to left a very simple pattern becomes obvious.  For the purposes of this discussion let $x$
-represent the number being squared.  The first observation is that in row $k$ the $2k$'th column of the product has a $\left (x_k \right)^2$ term in it.
-
-The second observation is that every column $j$ in row $k$ where $j \ne 2k$ is part of a double product.  Every non-square term of a column will
-appear twice hence the name ``double product''.  Every odd column is made up entirely of double products.  In fact every column is made up of double
-products and at most one square (\textit{see the exercise section}).
-
-The third and final observation is that for row $k$ the first unique non-square term, that is, one that hasn't already appeared in an earlier row,
-occurs at column $2k + 1$.  For example, on row $1$ of the previous squaring, column one is part of the double product with column one from row zero.
-Column two of row one is a square and column three is the first unique column.
-
-\subsection{The Baseline Squaring Algorithm}
-The baseline squaring algorithm is meant to be a catch-all squaring algorithm.  It will handle any of the input sizes that the faster routines
-will not handle.

-\end{figure}
-
-\textbf{Algorithm s\_mp\_sqr.}
-This algorithm computes the square of an input using the three observations on squaring.  It is based fairly faithfully on  algorithm 14.16 of HAC
-\cite[pp.596-597]{HAC}.  Similar to algorithm s\_mp\_mul\_digs, a temporary mp\_int is allocated to hold the result of the squaring.  This allows the
-destination mp\_int to be the same as the source mp\_int.
-
-The outer loop of this algorithm begins on step 4. It is best to think of the outer loop as walking down the rows of the partial results, while
-the inner loop computes the columns of the partial result.  Step 4.1 and 4.2 compute the square term for each row, and step 4.3 and 4.4 propagate
-the carry and compute the double products.
-
-The requirement that a mp\_word be able to represent the range $0 \le x < 2 \beta^2$ arises from this
-very algorithm.  The product $a_{ix}a_{iy}$ will lie in the range $0 \le x \le \beta^2 - 2\beta + 1$ which is obviously less than $\beta^2$ meaning that
-when it is multiplied by two, it can be properly represented by a mp\_word.
-
-Similar to algorithm s\_mp\_mul\_digs, after every pass of the inner loop, the destination is correctly set to the sum of all of the partial
-results calculated so far.  This involves expensive carry propagation which will be eliminated in the next algorithm.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_sqr.c
-
-Inside the outer loop (line @32,for@) the square term is calculated on line @35,r =@.  The carry (line @42,>>@) has been
-extracted from the mp\_word accumulator using a right shift.  Aliases for $a_{ix}$ and $t_{ix+iy}$ are initialized
-(lines @45,tmpx@ and @48,tmpt@) to simplify the inner loop.  The doubling is performed using two
-additions (line @57,r + r@) since it is usually faster than shifting, if not at least as fast.
-
-The important observation is that the inner loop does not begin at $iy = 0$ like for multiplication.  As such the inner loops
-get progressively shorter as the algorithm proceeds.  This is what leads to the savings compared to using a multiplication to
-square a number.
-
-\subsection{Faster Squaring by the ``Comba'' Method}
-A major drawback to the baseline method is the requirement for single precision shifting inside the $O(n^2)$ nested loop.  Squaring has an additional
-drawback that it must double the product inside the inner loop as well.  As for multiplication, the Comba technique can be used to eliminate these
-performance hazards.
-
-The first obvious solution is to make an array of mp\_words which will hold all of the columns.  This will indeed eliminate all of the carry
-propagation operations from the inner loop.  However, the inner product must still be doubled $O(n^2)$ times.  The solution stems from the simple fact
-that $2a + 2b + 2c = 2(a + b + c)$.  That is the sum of all of the double products is equal to double the sum of all the products.  For example,
-$ab + ba + ac + ca = 2ab + 2ac = 2(ab + ac)$.
-
-However, we cannot simply double all of the columns, since the squares appear only once per row.  The most practical solution is to have two
-mp\_word arrays.  One array will hold the squares and the other array will hold the double products.  With both arrays the doubling and
-carry propagation can be moved to a $O(n)$ work level outside the $O(n^2)$ level.  In this case, we have an even simpler solution in mind.

-\textbf{Algorithm fast\_s\_mp\_sqr.}
-This algorithm computes the square of an input using the Comba technique.  It is designed to be a replacement for algorithm
-s\_mp\_sqr when the number of input digits is less than \textbf{MP\_WARRAY} and less than $\delta \over 2$.
-This algorithm is very similar to the Comba multiplier except with a few key differences we shall make note of.
-
-First, we have an accumulator and carry variables $\_ \hat W$ and $\hat W1$ respectively.  This is because the inner loop
-products are to be doubled.  If we had added the previous carry in we would be doubling too much.  Next we perform an
-addition MIN condition on $iy$ (step 5.5) to prevent overlapping digits.  For example, $a_3 \cdot a_5$ is equal
-$a_5 \cdot a_3$.  Whereas in the multiplication case we would have $5 < a.used$ and $3 \ge 0$ is maintained since we double the sum
-of the products just outside the inner loop we have to avoid doing this.  This is also a good thing since we perform
-fewer multiplications and the routine ends up being faster.
-
-Finally the last difference is the addition of the ``square'' term outside the inner loop (step 5.8).  We add in the square
-only to even outputs and it is the square of the term at the $\lfloor ix / 2 \rfloor$ position.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_sqr_fast.c
-
-This implementation is essentially a copy of Comba multiplication with the appropriate changes added to make it faster for
-the special case of squaring.
-
-\subsection{Polynomial Basis Squaring}
-The same algorithm that performs optimal polynomial basis multiplication can be used to perform polynomial basis squaring.  The minor exception
-is that $\zeta_y = f(y)g(y)$ is actually equivalent to $\zeta_y = f(y)^2$ since $f(y) = g(y)$.  Instead of performing $2n + 1$
-multiplications to find the $\zeta$ relations, squaring operations are performed instead.
-
-\subsection{Karatsuba Squaring}
-Let $f(x) = ax + b$ represent the polynomial basis representation of a number to square.
-Let $h(x) = \left ( f(x) \right )^2$ represent the square of the polynomial.  The Karatsuba equation can be modified to square a
-number with the following equation.
-
-\begin{equation}
-h(x) = a^2x^2 + \left ((a + b)^2 - (a^2 + b^2) \right )x + b^2
-\end{equation}
-
-Upon closer inspection this equation only requires the calculation of three half-sized squares: $a^2$, $b^2$ and $(a + b)^2$.  As in
-Karatsuba multiplication, this algorithm can be applied recursively on the input and will achieve an asymptotic running time of
-$O \left ( n^{lg(3)} \right )$.
-
-If the asymptotic times of Karatsuba squaring and multiplication are the same, why not simply use the multiplication algorithm
-instead?  The answer to this arises from the cutoff point for squaring.  As in multiplication there exists a cutoff point, at which the
-time required for a Comba based squaring and a Karatsuba based squaring meet.  Due to the overhead inherent in the Karatsuba method, the cutoff
-point is fairly high.  For example, on an AMD Athlon XP processor with $\beta = 2^{28}$, the cutoff point is around 127 digits.
-
-Consider squaring a 200 digit number with this technique.  It will be split into two 100 digit halves which are subsequently squared.
-The 100 digit halves will not be squared using Karatsuba, but instead using the faster Comba based squaring algorithm.  If Karatsuba multiplication
-were used instead, the 100 digit numbers would be squared with a slower Comba based multiplication.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_karatsuba\_sqr.}
-This algorithm computes the square of an input $a$ using the Karatsuba technique.  This algorithm is very similar to the Karatsuba based
-multiplication algorithm with the exception that the three half-size multiplications have been replaced with three half-size squarings.
-
-The radix point for squaring is simply placed exactly in the middle of the digits when the input has an odd number of digits, otherwise it is
-placed just below the middle.  Step 3, 4 and 5 compute the two halves required using $B$
-as the radix point.  The first two squares in steps 6 and 7 are rather straightforward while the last square is of a more compact form.
-
-By expanding $\left (x1 + x0 \right )^2$, the $x1^2$ and $x0^2$ terms in the middle disappear, that is $(x0 - x1)^2 - (x1^2 + x0^2)  = 2 \cdot x0 \cdot x1$.
-Now if $5n$ single precision additions and a squaring of $n$-digits is faster than multiplying two $n$-digit numbers and doubling then
-this method is faster.  Assuming no further recursions occur, the difference can be estimated with the following inequality.
-
-Let $p$ represent the cost of a single precision addition and $q$ the cost of a single precision multiplication both in terms of time\footnote{Or
-machine clock cycles.}.
-
-\begin{equation}
-5pn +{{q(n^2 + n)} \over 2} \le pn + qn^2
-\end{equation}
-
-For example, on an AMD Athlon XP processor $p = {1 \over 3}$ and $q = 6$.  This implies that the following inequality should hold.
-\begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{rcl}
-${5n \over 3} + 3n^2 + 3n$     & $<$ & ${n \over 3} + 6n^2$ \\
-${5 \over 3} + 3n + 3$     & $<$ & ${1 \over 3} + 6n$ \\
-${13 \over 9}$     & $<$ & $n$ \\
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-This results in a cutoff point around $n = 2$.  As a consequence it is actually faster to compute the middle term the ``long way'' on processors
-where multiplication is substantially slower\footnote{On the Athlon there is a 1:17 ratio between clock cycles for addition and multiplication.  On
-the Intel P4 processor this ratio is 1:29 making this method even more beneficial.  The only common exception is the ARMv4 processor which has a
-ratio of 1:7.  } than simpler operations such as addition.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_karatsuba_sqr.c
-
-This implementation is largely based on the implementation of algorithm mp\_karatsuba\_mul.  It uses the same inline style to copy and
-shift the input into the two halves.  The loop from line @54,{@ to line @70,}@ has been modified since only one input exists.  The \textbf{used}
-count of both $x0$ and $x1$ is fixed up and $x0$ is clamped before the calculations begin.  At this point $x1$ and $x0$ are valid equivalents
-to the respective halves as if mp\_rshd and mp\_mod\_2d had been used.
-
-By inlining the copy and shift operations the cutoff point for Karatsuba multiplication can be lowered.  On the Athlon the cutoff point
-is exactly at the point where Comba squaring can no longer be used (\textit{128 digits}).  On slower processors such as the Intel P4
-it is actually below the Comba limit (\textit{at 110 digits}).
-
-This routine uses the same error trap coding style as mp\_karatsuba\_sqr.  As the temporary variables are initialized errors are
-redirected to the error trap higher up.  If the algorithm completes without error the error code is set to \textbf{MP\_OKAY} and
-mp\_clears are executed normally.
-
-\subsection{Toom-Cook Squaring}
-The Toom-Cook squaring algorithm mp\_toom\_sqr is heavily based on the algorithm mp\_toom\_mul with the exception that squarings are used
-instead of multiplication to find the five relations.  The reader is encouraged to read the description of the latter algorithm and try to
-derive their own Toom-Cook squaring algorithm.

-\chapter{Modular Reduction}
-MARK,REDUCTION
-\section{Basics of Modular Reduction}
-\index{modular residue}
-Modular reduction is an operation that arises quite often within public key cryptography algorithms and various number theoretic algorithms,
-such as factoring.  Modular reduction algorithms are the third class of algorithms of the ``multipliers'' set.  A number $a$ is said to be \textit{reduced}
-modulo another number $b$ by finding the remainder of the division $a/b$.  Full integer division with remainder is a topic to be covered
-in~\ref{sec:division}.
-
-Modular reduction is equivalent to solving for $r$ in the following equation.  $a = bq + r$ where $q = \lfloor a/b \rfloor$.  The result
-$r$ is said to be ``congruent to $a$ modulo $b$'' which is also written as $r \equiv a \mbox{ (mod }b\mbox{)}$.  In other vernacular $r$ is known as the
-``modular residue'' which leads to ``quadratic residue''\footnote{That's fancy talk for $b \equiv a^2 \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}$.} and
-other forms of residues.
-
-Modular reductions are normally used to create either finite groups, rings or fields.  The most common usage for performance driven modular reductions
-is in modular exponentiation algorithms.  That is to compute $d = a^b \mbox{ (mod }c\mbox{)}$ as fast as possible.  This operation is used in the
-RSA and Diffie-Hellman public key algorithms, for example.  Modular multiplication and squaring also appears as a fundamental operation in
-elliptic curve cryptographic algorithms.  As will be discussed in the subsequent chapter there exist fast algorithms for computing modular
-exponentiations without having to perform (\textit{in this example}) $b - 1$ multiplications.  These algorithms will produce partial results in the
-range $0 \le x < c^2$ which can be taken advantage of to create several efficient algorithms.   They have also been used to create redundancy check
-algorithms known as CRCs, error correction codes such as Reed-Solomon and solve a variety of number theoeretic problems.
-
-\section{The Barrett Reduction}
-The Barrett reduction algorithm \cite{BARRETT} was inspired by fast division algorithms which multiply by the reciprocal to emulate
-division.  Barretts observation was that the residue $c$ of $a$ modulo $b$ is equal to
-
-\begin{equation}
-c = a - b \cdot \lfloor a/b \rfloor
-\end{equation}
-
-Since algorithms such as modular exponentiation would be using the same modulus extensively, typical DSP\footnote{It is worth noting that Barrett's paper
-targeted the DSP56K processor.}  intuition would indicate the next step would be to replace $a/b$ by a multiplication by the reciprocal.  However,
-DSP intuition on its own will not work as these numbers are considerably larger than the precision of common DSP floating point data types.
-It would take another common optimization to optimize the algorithm.
-
-\subsection{Fixed Point Arithmetic}
-The trick used to optimize the above equation is based on a technique of emulating floating point data types with fixed precision integers.  Fixed
-point arithmetic would become very popular as it greatly optimize the ``3d-shooter'' genre of games in the mid 1990s when floating point units were
-fairly slow if not unavailable.   The idea behind fixed point arithmetic is to take a normal $k$-bit integer data type and break it into $p$-bit
-integer and a $q$-bit fraction part (\textit{where $p+q = k$}).
-
-In this system a $k$-bit integer $n$ would actually represent $n/2^q$.  For example, with $q = 4$ the integer $n = 37$ would actually represent the
-value $2.3125$.  To multiply two fixed point numbers the integers are multiplied using traditional arithmetic and subsequently normalized by
-moving the implied decimal point back to where it should be.  For example, with $q = 4$ to multiply the integers $9$ and $5$ they must be converted
-to fixed point first by multiplying by $2^q$.  Let $a = 9(2^q)$ represent the fixed point representation of $9$ and $b = 5(2^q)$ represent the
-fixed point representation of $5$.  The product $ab$ is equal to $45(2^{2q})$ which when normalized by dividing by $2^q$ produces $45(2^q)$.
-
-This technique became popular since a normal integer multiplication and logical shift right are the only required operations to perform a multiplication
-of two fixed point numbers.  Using fixed point arithmetic, division can be easily approximated by multiplying by the reciprocal.  If $2^q$ is
-equivalent to one than $2^q/b$ is equivalent to the fixed point approximation of $1/b$ using real arithmetic.  Using this fact dividing an integer
-$a$ by another integer $b$ can be achieved with the following expression.
-
-\begin{equation}
-\lfloor a / b \rfloor \mbox{ }\approx\mbox{ } \lfloor (a \cdot \lfloor 2^q / b \rfloor)/2^q \rfloor
-\end{equation}
-
-The precision of the division is proportional to the value of $q$.  If the divisor $b$ is used frequently as is the case with
-modular exponentiation pre-computing $2^q/b$ will allow a division to be performed with a multiplication and a right shift.  Both operations
-are considerably faster than division on most processors.
-
-Consider dividing $19$ by $5$.  The correct result is $\lfloor 19/5 \rfloor = 3$.  With $q = 3$ the reciprocal is $\lfloor 2^q/5 \rfloor = 1$ which
-leads to a product of $19$ which when divided by $2^q$ produces $2$.  However, with $q = 4$ the reciprocal is $\lfloor 2^q/5 \rfloor = 3$ and
-the result of the emulated division is $\lfloor 3 \cdot 19 / 2^q \rfloor = 3$ which is correct.  The value of $2^q$ must be close to or ideally
-larger than the dividend.  In effect if $a$ is the dividend then $q$ should allow $0 \le \lfloor a/2^q \rfloor \le 1$ in order for this approach
-to work correctly.  Plugging this form of divison into the original equation the following modular residue equation arises.
-
-\begin{equation}
-c = a - b \cdot \lfloor (a \cdot \lfloor 2^q / b \rfloor)/2^q \rfloor
-\end{equation}
-
-Using the notation from \cite{BARRETT} the value of $\lfloor 2^q / b \rfloor$ will be represented by the $\mu$ symbol.  Using the $\mu$
-variable also helps re-inforce the idea that it is meant to be computed once and re-used.
-
-\begin{equation}
-c = a - b \cdot \lfloor (a \cdot \mu)/2^q \rfloor
-\end{equation}
-
-Provided that $2^q \ge a$ this algorithm will produce a quotient that is either exactly correct or off by a value of one.  In the context of Barrett
-reduction the value of $a$ is bound by $0 \le a \le (b - 1)^2$ meaning that $2^q \ge b^2$ is sufficient to ensure the reciprocal will have enough
-precision.
-
-Let $n$ represent the number of digits in $b$.  This algorithm requires approximately $2n^2$ single precision multiplications to produce the quotient and
-another $n^2$ single precision multiplications to find the residue.  In total $3n^2$ single precision multiplications are required to
-reduce the number.
-
-For example, if $b = 1179677$ and $q = 41$ ($2^q > b^2$), then the reciprocal $\mu$ is equal to $\lfloor 2^q / b \rfloor = 1864089$.  Consider reducing
-$a = 180388626447$ modulo $b$ using the above reduction equation.  The quotient using the new formula is $\lfloor (a \cdot \mu) / 2^q \rfloor = 152913$.
-By subtracting $152913b$ from $a$ the correct residue $a \equiv 677346 \mbox{ (mod }b\mbox{)}$ is found.
-
-\subsection{Choosing a Radix Point}
-Using the fixed point representation a modular reduction can be performed with $3n^2$ single precision multiplications.  If that were the best
-that could be achieved a full division\footnote{A division requires approximately $O(2cn^2)$ single precision multiplications for a small value of $c$.
-See~\ref{sec:division} for further details.} might as well be used in its place.  The key to optimizing the reduction is to reduce the precision of
-the initial multiplication that finds the quotient.
-
-Let $a$ represent the number of which the residue is sought.  Let $b$ represent the modulus used to find the residue.  Let $m$ represent
-the number of digits in $b$.  For the purposes of this discussion we will assume that the number of digits in $a$ is $2m$, which is generally true if
-two $m$-digit numbers have been multiplied.  Dividing $a$ by $b$ is the same as dividing a $2m$ digit integer by a $m$ digit integer.  Digits below the
-$m - 1$'th digit of $a$ will contribute at most a value of $1$ to the quotient because $\beta^k < b$ for any $0 \le k \le m - 1$.  Another way to
-express this is by re-writing $a$ as two parts.  If $a' \equiv a \mbox{ (mod }b^m\mbox{)}$ and $a'' = a - a'$ then
-${a \over b} \equiv {{a' + a''} \over b}$ which is equivalent to ${a' \over b} + {a'' \over b}$.  Since $a'$ is bound to be less than $b$ the quotient
-is bound by $0 \le {a' \over b} < 1$.
-
-Since the digits of $a'$ do not contribute much to the quotient the observation is that they might as well be zero.  However, if the digits
-``might as well be zero'' they might as well not be there in the first place.  Let $q_0 = \lfloor a/\beta^{m-1} \rfloor$ represent the input
-with the irrelevant digits trimmed.  Now the modular reduction is trimmed to the almost equivalent equation
-
-\begin{equation}
-c = a - b \cdot \lfloor (q_0 \cdot \mu) / \beta^{m+1} \rfloor
-\end{equation}
-
-Note that the original divisor $2^q$ has been replaced with $\beta^{m+1}$ where in this case $q$ is a multiple of $lg(\beta)$. Also note that the
-exponent on the divisor when added to the amount $q_0$ was shifted by equals $2m$.  If the optimization had not been performed the divisor
-would have the exponent $2m$ so in the end the exponents do ``add up''. Using the above equation the quotient
-$\lfloor (q_0 \cdot \mu) / \beta^{m+1} \rfloor$ can be off from the true quotient by at most two.  The original fixed point quotient can be off
-by as much as one (\textit{provided the radix point is chosen suitably}) and now that the lower irrelevent digits have been trimmed the quotient
-can be off by an additional value of one for a total of at most two.  This implies that
-$0 \le a - b \cdot \lfloor (q_0 \cdot \mu) / \beta^{m+1} \rfloor < 3b$.  By first subtracting $b$ times the quotient and then conditionally subtracting
-$b$ once or twice the residue is found.
-
-The quotient is now found using $(m + 1)(m) = m^2 + m$ single precision multiplications and the residue with an additional $m^2$ single
-precision multiplications, ignoring the subtractions required.  In total $2m^2 + m$ single precision multiplications are required to find the residue.
-This is considerably faster than the original attempt.
-
-For example, let $\beta = 10$ represent the radix of the digits.  Let $b = 9999$ represent the modulus which implies $m = 4$. Let $a = 99929878$
-represent the value of which the residue is desired.  In this case $q = 8$ since $10^7 < 9999^2$ meaning that $\mu = \lfloor \beta^{q}/b \rfloor = 10001$.
-With the new observation the multiplicand for the quotient is equal to $q_0 = \lfloor a / \beta^{m - 1} \rfloor = 99929$.  The quotient is then
-$\lfloor (q_0 \cdot \mu) / \beta^{m+1} \rfloor = 9993$.  Subtracting $9993b$ from $a$ and the correct residue $a \equiv 9871 \mbox{ (mod }b\mbox{)}$
-is found.
-
-\subsection{Trimming the Quotient}
-So far the reduction algorithm has been optimized from $3m^2$ single precision multiplications down to $2m^2 + m$ single precision multiplications.  As
-it stands now the algorithm is already fairly fast compared to a full integer division algorithm.  However, there is still room for
-optimization.
-
-After the first multiplication inside the quotient ($q_0 \cdot \mu$) the value is shifted right by $m + 1$ places effectively nullifying the lower
-half of the product.  It would be nice to be able to remove those digits from the product to effectively cut down the number of single precision
-multiplications.  If the number of digits in the modulus $m$ is far less than $\beta$ a full product is not required for the algorithm to work properly.
-In fact the lower $m - 2$ digits will not affect the upper half of the product at all and do not need to be computed.
-
-The value of $\mu$ is a $m$-digit number and $q_0$ is a $m + 1$ digit number.  Using a full multiplier $(m + 1)(m) = m^2 + m$ single precision
-multiplications would be required.  Using a multiplier that will only produce digits at and above the $m - 1$'th digit reduces the number
-of single precision multiplications to ${m^2 + m} \over 2$ single precision multiplications.
-
-\subsection{Trimming the Residue}
-After the quotient has been calculated it is used to reduce the input.  As previously noted the algorithm is not exact and it can be off by a small
-multiple of the modulus, that is $0 \le a - b \cdot \lfloor (q_0 \cdot \mu) / \beta^{m+1} \rfloor < 3b$.  If $b$ is $m$ digits than the
-result of reduction equation is a value of at most $m + 1$ digits (\textit{provided $3 < \beta$}) implying that the upper $m - 1$ digits are
-implicitly zero.
-
-The next optimization arises from this very fact.  Instead of computing $b \cdot \lfloor (q_0 \cdot \mu) / \beta^{m+1} \rfloor$ using a full
-$O(m^2)$ multiplication algorithm only the lower $m+1$ digits of the product have to be computed.  Similarly the value of $a$ can
-be reduced modulo $\beta^{m+1}$ before the multiple of $b$ is subtracted which simplifes the subtraction as well.  A multiplication that produces
-only the lower $m+1$ digits requires ${m^2 + 3m - 2} \over 2$ single precision multiplications.
-
-With both optimizations in place the algorithm is the algorithm Barrett proposed.  It requires $m^2 + 2m - 1$ single precision multiplications which
-is considerably faster than the straightforward $3m^2$ method.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_reduce.}
-This algorithm will reduce the input $a$ modulo $b$ in place using the Barrett algorithm.  It is loosely based on algorithm 14.42 of HAC
-\cite[pp.  602]{HAC} which is based on the paper from Paul Barrett \cite{BARRETT}.  The algorithm has several restrictions and assumptions which must
-be adhered to for the algorithm to work.
-
-First the modulus $b$ is assumed to be positive and greater than one.  If the modulus were less than or equal to one than subtracting
-a multiple of it would either accomplish nothing or actually enlarge the input.  The input $a$ must be in the range $0 \le a < b^2$ in order
-for the quotient to have enough precision.  If $a$ is the product of two numbers that were already reduced modulo $b$, this will not be a problem.
-Technically the algorithm will still work if $a \ge b^2$ but it will take much longer to finish.  The value of $\mu$ is passed as an argument to this
-algorithm and is assumed to be calculated and stored before the algorithm is used.
-
-Recall that the multiplication for the quotient on step 3 must only produce digits at or above the $m-1$'th position.  An algorithm called
-$s\_mp\_mul\_high\_digs$ which has not been presented is used to accomplish this task.  The algorithm is based on $s\_mp\_mul\_digs$ except that
-instead of stopping at a given level of precision it starts at a given level of precision.  This optimal algorithm can only be used if the number
-of digits in $b$ is very much smaller than $\beta$.
-
-While it is known that
-$a \ge b \cdot \lfloor (q_0 \cdot \mu) / \beta^{m+1} \rfloor$ only the lower $m+1$ digits are being used to compute the residue, so an implied
-``borrow'' from the higher digits might leave a negative result.  After the multiple of the modulus has been subtracted from $a$ the residue must be
-fixed up in case it is negative.  The invariant $\beta^{m+1}$ must be added to the residue to make it positive again.
-
-The while loop at step 9 will subtract $b$ until the residue is less than $b$.  If the algorithm is performed correctly this step is

-

-
-The first multiplication that determines the quotient can be performed by only producing the digits from $m - 1$ and up.  This essentially halves
-the number of single precision multiplications required.  However, the optimization is only safe if $\beta$ is much larger than the number of digits
-in the modulus.  In the source code this is evaluated on lines @36,if@ to @44,}@ where algorithm s\_mp\_mul\_high\_digs is used when it is
-safe to do so.

-\subsection{The Barrett Setup Algorithm}
-In order to use algorithm mp\_reduce the value of $\mu$ must be calculated in advance.  Ideally this value should be computed once and stored for
-future use so that the Barrett algorithm can be used without delay.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_reduce\_setup.}
-This algorithm computes the reciprocal $\mu$ required for Barrett reduction.  First $\beta^{2m}$ is calculated as $2^{2 \cdot lg(\beta) \cdot  m}$ which
-is equivalent and much faster.  The final value is computed by taking the integer quotient of $\lfloor \mu / b \rfloor$.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_reduce_setup.c
-
-This simple routine calculates the reciprocal $\mu$ required by Barrett reduction.  Note the extended usage of algorithm mp\_div where the variable
-which would received the remainder is passed as NULL.  As will be discussed in~\ref{sec:division} the division routine allows both the quotient and the
-remainder to be passed as NULL meaning to ignore the value.

-\section{The Montgomery Reduction}
-Montgomery reduction\footnote{Thanks to Niels Ferguson for his insightful explanation of the algorithm.} \cite{MONT} is by far the most interesting
-form of reduction in common use.  It computes a modular residue which is not actually equal to the residue of the input yet instead equal to a
-residue times a constant.  However, as perplexing as this may sound the algorithm is relatively simple and very efficient.
-
-Throughout this entire section the variable $n$ will represent the modulus used to form the residue.  As will be discussed shortly the value of
-$n$ must be odd.  The variable $x$ will represent the quantity of which the residue is sought.  Similar to the Barrett algorithm the input
-is restricted to $0 \le x < n^2$.  To begin the description some simple number theory facts must be established.
-
-\textbf{Fact 1.}  Adding $n$ to $x$ does not change the residue since in effect it adds one to the quotient $\lfloor x / n \rfloor$.  Another way
-to explain this is that $n$ is (\textit{or multiples of $n$ are}) congruent to zero modulo $n$.  Adding zero will not change the value of the residue.
-
-\textbf{Fact 2.}  If $x$ is even then performing a division by two in $\Z$ is congruent to $x \cdot 2^{-1} \mbox{ (mod }n\mbox{)}$.  Actually
-this is an application of the fact that if $x$ is evenly divisible by any $k \in \Z$ then division in $\Z$ will be congruent to
-multiplication by $k^{-1}$ modulo $n$.
-
-From these two simple facts the following simple algorithm can be derived.

-
-The algorithm reduces the input one bit at a time using the two congruencies stated previously.  Inside the loop $n$, which is odd, is
-added to $x$ if $x$ is odd.  This forces $x$ to be even which allows the division by two in $\Z$ to be congruent to a modular division by two.  Since
-$x$ is assumed to be initially much larger than $n$ the addition of $n$ will contribute an insignificant magnitude to $x$.  Let $r$ represent the
-final result of the Montgomery algorithm.  If $k > lg(n)$ and $0 \le x < n^2$ then the final result is limited to
-$0 \le r < \lfloor x/2^k \rfloor + n$.  As a result at most a single subtraction is required to get the residue desired.

-
-Consider the example in figure~\ref{fig:MONT1} which reduces $x = 5555$ modulo $n = 257$ when $k = 9$ (note $\beta^k = 512$ which is larger than $n$).  The result of
-the algorithm $r = 178$ is congruent to the value of $2^{-9} \cdot 5555 \mbox{ (mod }257\mbox{)}$.  When $r$ is multiplied by $2^9$ modulo $257$ the correct residue
-$r \equiv 158$ is produced.
-
-Let $k = \lfloor lg(n) \rfloor + 1$ represent the number of bits in $n$.  The current algorithm requires $2k^2$ single precision shifts
-and $k^2$ single precision additions.  At this rate the algorithm is most certainly slower than Barrett reduction and not terribly useful.
-Fortunately there exists an alternative representation of the algorithm.

-\subsection{Digit Based Montgomery Reduction}
-Instead of computing the reduction on a bit-by-bit basis it is actually much faster to compute it on digit-by-digit basis.  Consider the
-previous algorithm re-written to compute the Montgomery reduction in this new fashion.

-The value $\mu n \beta^t$ is a multiple of the modulus $n$ meaning that it will not change the residue.  If the first digit of
-the value $\mu n \beta^t$ equals the negative (modulo $\beta$) of the $t$'th digit of $x$ then the addition will result in a zero digit.  This
-problem breaks down to solving the following congruency.
-

-\end{tabular}

-
-In each iteration of the loop on step 1 a new value of $\mu$ must be calculated.  The value of $-1/n_0 \mbox{ (mod }\beta\mbox{)}$ is used
-extensively in this algorithm and should be precomputed.  Let $\rho$ represent the negative of the modular inverse of $n_0$ modulo $\beta$.
-
-For example, let $\beta = 10$ represent the radix.  Let $n = 17$ represent the modulus which implies $k = 2$ and $\rho \equiv 7$.  Let $x = 33$
-represent the value to reduce.

-
-The final result $900$ is then divided by $\beta^k$ to produce the final result $9$.  The first observation is that $9 \nequiv x \mbox{ (mod }n\mbox{)}$
-which implies the result is not the modular residue of $x$ modulo $n$.  However, recall that the residue is actually multiplied by $\beta^{-k}$ in
-the algorithm.  To get the true residue the value must be multiplied by $\beta^k$.  In this case $\beta^k \equiv 15 \mbox{ (mod }n\mbox{)}$ and
-the correct residue is $9 \cdot 15 \equiv 16 \mbox{ (mod }n\mbox{)}$.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_montgomery\_reduce.}
-This algorithm reduces the input $x$ modulo $n$ in place using the Montgomery reduction algorithm.  The algorithm is loosely based
-on algorithm 14.32 of \cite[pp.601]{HAC} except it merges the multiplication of $\mu n \beta^t$ with the addition in the inner loop.  The
-restrictions on this algorithm are fairly easy to adapt to.  First $0 \le x < n^2$ bounds the input to numbers in the same range as
-for the Barrett algorithm.  Additionally if $n > 1$ and $n$ is odd there will exist a modular inverse $\rho$.  $\rho$ must be calculated in
-advance of this algorithm.  Finally the variable $k$ is fixed and a pseudonym for $n.used$.
-
-Step 2 decides whether a faster Montgomery algorithm can be used.  It is based on the Comba technique meaning that there are limits on
-the size of the input.  This algorithm is discussed in ~COMBARED~.
-
-Step 5 is the main reduction loop of the algorithm.  The value of $\mu$ is calculated once per iteration in the outer loop.  The inner loop
-calculates $x + \mu n \beta^{ix}$ by multiplying $\mu n$ and adding the result to $x$ shifted by $ix$ digits.  Both the addition and
-multiplication are performed in the same loop to save time and memory.  Step 5.4 will handle any additional carries that escape the inner loop.
-
-Using a quick inspection this algorithm requires $n$ single precision multiplications for the outer loop and $n^2$ single precision multiplications
-in the inner loop.  In total $n^2 + n$ single precision multiplications which compares favourably to Barrett at $n^2 + 2n - 1$ single precision
-multiplications.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_montgomery_reduce.c
-
-This is the baseline implementation of the Montgomery reduction algorithm.  Lines @30,digs@ to @35,}@ determine if the Comba based
-routine can be used instead.  Line @47,mu@ computes the value of $\mu$ for that particular iteration of the outer loop.
-
-The multiplication $\mu n \beta^{ix}$ is performed in one step in the inner loop.  The alias $tmpx$ refers to the $ix$'th digit of $x$ and
-the alias $tmpn$ refers to the modulus $n$.
-
-\subsection{Faster ``Comba'' Montgomery Reduction}
-MARK,COMBARED
-
-The Montgomery reduction requires fewer single precision multiplications than a Barrett reduction, however it is much slower due to the serial
-nature of the inner loop.  The Barrett reduction algorithm requires two slightly modified multipliers which can be implemented with the Comba
-technique.  The Montgomery reduction algorithm cannot directly use the Comba technique to any significant advantage since the inner loop calculates
-a $k \times 1$ product $k$ times.
-
-The biggest obstacle is that at the $ix$'th iteration of the outer loop the value of $x_{ix}$ is required to calculate $\mu$.  This means the
-carries from $0$ to $ix - 1$ must have been propagated upwards to form a valid $ix$'th digit.  The solution as it turns out is very simple.
-Perform a Comba like multiplier and inside the outer loop just after the inner loop fix up the $ix + 1$'th digit by forwarding the carry.
-
-With this change in place the Montgomery reduction algorithm can be performed with a Comba style multiplication loop which substantially increases
-the speed of the algorithm.

-\textbf{Algorithm fast\_mp\_montgomery\_reduce.}
-This algorithm will compute the Montgomery reduction of $x$ modulo $n$ using the Comba technique.  It is on most computer platforms significantly
-faster than algorithm mp\_montgomery\_reduce and algorithm mp\_reduce (\textit{Barrett reduction}).  The algorithm has the same restrictions
-on the input as the baseline reduction algorithm.  An additional two restrictions are imposed on this algorithm.  The number of digits $k$ in the
-the modulus $n$ must not violate $MP\_WARRAY > 2k +1$ and $n < \delta$.   When $\beta = 2^{28}$ this algorithm can be used to reduce modulo
-a modulus of at most $3,556$ bits in length.
-
-As in the other Comba reduction algorithms there is a $\hat W$ array which stores the columns of the product.  It is initially filled with the
-contents of $x$ with the excess digits zeroed.  The reduction loop is very similar the to the baseline loop at heart.  The multiplication on step
-4.1 can be single precision only since $ab \mbox{ (mod }\beta\mbox{)} \equiv (a \mbox{ mod }\beta)(b \mbox{ mod }\beta)$.  Some multipliers such
-as those on the ARM processors take a variable length time to complete depending on the number of bytes of result it must produce.  By performing
-a single precision multiplication instead half the amount of time is spent.
-
-Also note that digit $\hat W_{ix}$ must have the carry from the $ix - 1$'th digit propagated upwards in order for this to work.  That is what step
-4.3 will do.  In effect over the $n.used$ iterations of the outer loop the $n.used$'th lower columns all have the their carries propagated forwards.  Note
-how the upper bits of those same words are not reduced modulo $\beta$.  This is because those values will be discarded shortly and there is no
-point.
-
-Step 5 will propagate the remainder of the carries upwards.  On step 6 the columns are reduced modulo $\beta$ and shifted simultaneously as they are
-stored in the destination $x$.
-
-EXAM,bn_s_mp_montgomery_reduce_fast.c
-
-The $\hat W$ array is first filled with digits of $x$ on line @49,for@ then the rest of the digits are zeroed on line @54,for@.  Both loops share
-the same alias variables to make the code easier to read.
-
-The value of $\mu$ is calculated in an interesting fashion.  First the value $\hat W_{ix}$ is reduced modulo $\beta$ and cast to a mp\_digit.  This
-forces the compiler to use a single precision multiplication and prevents any concerns about loss of precision.   Line @101,>>@ fixes the carry
-for the next iteration of the loop by propagating the carry from $\hat W_{ix}$ to $\hat W_{ix+1}$.
-
-The for loop on line @113,for@ propagates the rest of the carries upwards through the columns.  The for loop on line @126,for@ reduces the columns
-modulo $\beta$ and shifts them $k$ places at the same time.  The alias $\_ \hat W$ actually refers to the array $\hat W$ starting at the $n.used$'th
-digit, that is $\_ \hat W_{t} = \hat W_{n.used + t}$.

-or Montgomery methods for certain forms of moduli.  The technique is based on the following simple congruence.
-
-\begin{equation}
-(x \mbox{ mod } n) + k \lfloor x / n \rfloor \equiv x \mbox{ (mod }(n - k)\mbox{)}
-\end{equation}
-
-This observation was used in the MMB \cite{MMB} block cipher to create a diffusion primitive.  It used the fact that if $n = 2^{31}$ and $k=1$ that
-then a x86 multiplier could produce the 62-bit product and use  the ``shrd'' instruction to perform a double-precision right shift.  The proof
-of the above equation is very simple.  First write $x$ in the product form.
-
-\begin{equation}
-x = qn + r
-\end{equation}
-
-Now reduce both sides modulo $(n - k)$.
-
-\begin{equation}
-x \equiv qk + r  \mbox{ (mod }(n-k)\mbox{)}
-\end{equation}
-
-The variable $n$ reduces modulo $n - k$ to $k$.  By putting $q = \lfloor x/n \rfloor$ and $r = x \mbox{ mod } n$
-into the equation the original congruence is reproduced, thus concluding the proof.  The following algorithm is based on this observation.

-\label{fig:DR}
-\end{figure}
-
-This algorithm will reduce $x$ modulo $n - k$ and return the residue.  If $0 \le x < (n - k)^2$ then the algorithm will loop almost always
-once or twice and occasionally three times.  For simplicity sake the value of $x$ is bounded by the following simple polynomial.
-
-\begin{equation}
-0 \le x < n^2 + k^2 - 2nk
-\end{equation}
-
-The true bound is  $0 \le x < (n - k - 1)^2$ but this has quite a few more terms.  The value of $q$ after step 1 is bounded by the following.
-
-\begin{equation}
-q < n - 2k - k^2/n
-\end{equation}
-
-Since $k^2$ is going to be considerably smaller than $n$ that term will always be zero.  The value of $x$ after step 3 is bounded trivially as
-$0 \le x < n$.  By step four the sum $x + q$ is bounded by
-
-\begin{equation}
-0 \le q + x < (k + 1)n - 2k^2 - 1
-\end{equation}
-
-With a second pass $q$ will be loosely bounded by $0 \le q < k^2$ after step 2 while $x$ will still be loosely bounded by $0 \le x < n$ after step 3.  After the second pass it is highly unlike that the
-sum in step 4 will exceed $n - k$.  In practice fewer than three passes of the algorithm are required to reduce virtually every input in the
-range $0 \le x < (n - k - 1)^2$.

-\caption{Example Diminished Radix Reduction}
-\label{fig:EXDR}
-\end{figure}
-
-Figure~\ref{fig:EXDR} demonstrates the reduction of $x = 123456789$ modulo $n - k = 253$ when $n = 256$ and $k = 3$.  Note that even while $x$
-is considerably larger than $(n - k - 1)^2 = 63504$ the algorithm still converges on the modular residue exceedingly fast.  In this case only
-three passes were required to find the residue $x \equiv 126$.
-
-
-\subsection{Choice of Moduli}
-On the surface this algorithm looks like a very expensive algorithm.  It requires a couple of subtractions followed by multiplication and other
-modular reductions.  The usefulness of this algorithm becomes exceedingly clear when an appropriate modulus is chosen.
-
-Division in general is a very expensive operation to perform.  The one exception is when the division is by a power of the radix of representation used.
-Division by ten for example is simple for pencil and paper mathematics since it amounts to shifting the decimal place to the right.  Similarly division
-by two (\textit{or powers of two}) is very simple for binary computers to perform.  It would therefore seem logical to choose $n$ of the form $2^p$
-which would imply that $\lfloor x / n \rfloor$ is a simple shift of $x$ right $p$ bits.
-
-However, there is one operation related to division of power of twos that is even faster than this.  If $n = \beta^p$ then the division may be
-performed by moving whole digits to the right $p$ places.  In practice division by $\beta^p$ is much faster than division by $2^p$ for any $p$.
-Also with the choice of $n = \beta^p$ reducing $x$ modulo $n$ merely requires zeroing the digits above the $p-1$'th digit of $x$.
-
-Throughout the next section the term ``restricted modulus'' will refer to a modulus of the form $\beta^p - k$ whereas the term ``unrestricted
-modulus'' will refer to a modulus of the form $2^p - k$.  The word ``restricted'' in this case refers to the fact that it is based on the
-$2^p$ logic except $p$ must be a multiple of $lg(\beta)$.
-
-\subsection{Choice of $k$}
-Now that division and reduction (\textit{step 1 and 3 of figure~\ref{fig:DR}}) have been optimized to simple digit operations the multiplication by $k$
-in step 2 is the most expensive operation.  Fortunately the choice of $k$ is not terribly limited.  For all intents and purposes it might
-as well be a single digit.  The smaller the value of $k$ is the faster the algorithm will be.
-
-\subsection{Restricted Diminished Radix Reduction}
-The restricted Diminished Radix algorithm can quickly reduce an input modulo a modulus of the form $n = \beta^p - k$.  This algorithm can reduce
-an input $x$ within the range $0 \le x < n^2$ using only a couple passes of the algorithm demonstrated in figure~\ref{fig:DR}.  The implementation
-of this algorithm has been optimized to avoid additional overhead associated with a division by $\beta^p$, the multiplication by $k$ or the addition
-of $x$ and $q$.  The resulting algorithm is very efficient and can lead to substantial improvements over Barrett and Montgomery reduction when modular
-exponentiations are performed.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_dr\_reduce.}
-This algorithm will perform the Dimished Radix reduction of $x$ modulo $n$.  It has similar restrictions to that of the Barrett reduction
-with the addition that $n$ must be of the form $n = \beta^m - k$ where $0 < k <\beta$.
-
-This algorithm essentially implements the pseudo-code in figure~\ref{fig:DR} except with a slight optimization.  The division by $\beta^m$, multiplication by $k$
-and addition of $x \mbox{ mod }\beta^m$ are all performed simultaneously inside the loop on step 4.  The division by $\beta^m$ is emulated by accessing
-the term at the $m+i$'th position which is subsequently multiplied by $k$ and added to the term at the $i$'th position.  After the loop the $m$'th
-digit is set to the carry and the upper digits are zeroed.  Steps 5 and 6 emulate the reduction modulo $\beta^m$ that should have happend to
-$x$ before the addition of the multiple of the upper half.
-
-At step 8 if $x$ is still larger than $n$ another pass of the algorithm is required.  First $n$ is subtracted from $x$ and then the algorithm resumes
-at step 3.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_dr_reduce.c
-
-The first step is to grow $x$ as required to $2m$ digits since the reduction is performed in place on $x$.  The label on line @49,top:@ is where
-the algorithm will resume if further reduction passes are required.  In theory it could be placed at the top of the function however, the size of
-the modulus and question of whether $x$ is large enough are invariant after the first pass meaning that it would be a waste of time.
-
-The aliases $tmpx1$ and $tmpx2$ refer to the digits of $x$ where the latter is offset by $m$ digits.  By reading digits from $x$ offset by $m$ digits
-a division by $\beta^m$ can be simulated virtually for free.  The loop on line @61,for@ performs the bulk of the work (\textit{corresponds to step 4 of algorithm 7.11})
-in this algorithm.
-
-By line @68,mu@ the pointer $tmpx1$ points to the $m$'th digit of $x$ which is where the final carry will be placed.  Similarly by line @71,for@ the
-same pointer will point to the $m+1$'th digit where the zeroes will be placed.
-
-Since the algorithm is only valid if both $x$ and $n$ are greater than zero an unsigned comparison suffices to determine if another pass is required.
-With the same logic at line @82,sub@ the value of $x$ is known to be greater than or equal to $n$ meaning that an unsigned subtraction can be used
-as well.  Since the destination of the subtraction is the larger of the inputs the call to algorithm s\_mp\_sub cannot fail and the return code
-does not need to be checked.
-
-\subsubsection{Setup}
-To setup the restricted Diminished Radix algorithm the value $k = \beta - n_0$ is required.  This algorithm is not really complicated but provided for
-completeness.

-\subsubsection{Modulus Detection}
-Another algorithm which will be useful is the ability to detect a restricted Diminished Radix modulus.  An integer is said to be
-of restricted Diminished Radix form if all of the digits are equal to $\beta - 1$ except the trailing digit which may be any value.

-step 3 then $n$ must be of Diminished Radix form.

-\subsection{Unrestricted Diminished Radix Reduction}
-The unrestricted Diminished Radix algorithm allows modular reductions to be performed when the modulus is of the form $2^p - k$.  This algorithm
-is a straightforward adaptation of algorithm~\ref{fig:DR}.
-
-In general the restricted Diminished Radix reduction algorithm is much faster since it has considerably lower overhead.  However, this new
-algorithm is much faster than either Montgomery or Barrett reduction when the moduli are of the appropriate form.

-This algorithm quickly reduces an input $a$ modulo an unrestricted Diminished Radix modulus $n$.  Division by $2^p$ is emulated with a right

-
-EXAM,bn_mp_reduce_2k.c
-
-The algorithm mp\_count\_bits calculates the number of bits in an mp\_int which is used to find the initial value of $p$.  The call to mp\_div\_2d

-is kept fairly small.  The multiplication by $k$ is only performed if $k > 1$. This allows reductions modulo $2^p - 1$ to be performed without
-any multiplications.
-
-The unsigned s\_mp\_add, mp\_cmp\_mag and s\_mp\_sub are used in place of their full sign counterparts since the inputs are only valid if they are
-positive.  By using the unsigned versions the overhead is kept to a minimum.
-
-\subsubsection{Unrestricted Setup}
-To setup this reduction algorithm the value of $k = 2^p - n$ is required.

-is sufficient to solve for $k$.  Alternatively if $n$ has more than one digit the value of $k$ is simply $\beta - n_0$.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_reduce_2k_setup.c
-
-\subsubsection{Unrestricted Detection}
-An integer $n$ is a valid unrestricted Diminished Radix modulus if either of the following are true.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item  The number has only one digit.
-\item  The number has more than one digit and every bit from the $\beta$'th to the most significant is one.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-If either condition is true than there is a power of two $2^p$ such that $0 < 2^p - n < \beta$.   If the input is only
-one digit than it will always be of the correct form.  Otherwise all of the bits above the first digit must be one.  This arises from the fact
-that there will be value of $k$ that when added to the modulus causes a carry in the first digit which propagates all the way to the most
-significant bit.  The resulting sum will be a power of two.

-\section{Algorithm Comparison}
-So far three very different algorithms for modular reduction have been discussed.  Each of the algorithms have their own strengths and weaknesses
-that makes having such a selection very useful.  The following table sumarizes the three algorithms along with comparisons of work factors.  Since
-all three algorithms have the restriction that $0 \le x < n^2$ and $n > 1$ those limitations are not included in the table.

-In theory Montgomery and Barrett reductions would require roughly the same amount of time to complete.  However, in practice since Montgomery
-reduction can be written as a single function with the Comba technique it is much faster.  Barrett reduction suffers from the overhead of
-calling the half precision multipliers, addition and division by $\beta$ algorithms.
-
-For almost every cryptographic algorithm Montgomery reduction is the algorithm of choice.  The one set of algorithms where Diminished Radix reduction truly
-shines are based on the discrete logarithm problem such as Diffie-Hellman \cite{DHREF} and ElGamal \cite{ELGAMALREF}.  In these algorithms
-primes of the form $\beta^m - k$ can be found and shared amongst users.  These primes will allow the Diminished Radix algorithm to be used in
-modular exponentiation to greatly speed up the operation.

-\chapter{Exponentiation}
-Exponentiation is the operation of raising one variable to the power of another, for example, $a^b$.  A variant of exponentiation, computed
-in a finite field or ring, is called modular exponentiation.  This latter style of operation is typically used in public key
-cryptosystems such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman.  The ability to quickly compute modular exponentiations is of great benefit to any
-such cryptosystem and many methods have been sought to speed it up.
-
-\section{Exponentiation Basics}
-A trivial algorithm would simply multiply $a$ against itself $b - 1$ times to compute the exponentiation desired.  However, as $b$ grows in size
-the number of multiplications becomes prohibitive.  Imagine what would happen if $b$ $\approx$ $2^{1024}$ as is the case when computing an RSA signature
-with a $1024$-bit key.  Such a calculation could never be completed as it would take simply far too long.
-
-Fortunately there is a very simple algorithm based on the laws of exponents.  Recall that $lg_a(a^b) = b$ and that $lg_a(a^ba^c) = b + c$ which
-are two trivial relationships between the base and the exponent.  Let $b_i$ represent the $i$'th bit of $b$ starting from the least
-significant bit.  If $b$ is a $k$-bit integer than the following equation is true.
-
-\begin{equation}
-a^b = \prod_{i=0}^{k-1} a^{2^i \cdot b_i}
-\end{equation}
-
-By taking the base $a$ logarithm of both sides of the equation the following equation is the result.
-
-\begin{equation}
-b = \sum_{i=0}^{k-1}2^i \cdot b_i
-\end{equation}
-
-The term $a^{2^i}$ can be found from the $i - 1$'th term by squaring the term since $\left ( a^{2^i} \right )^2$ is equal to
-$a^{2^{i+1}}$.  This observation forms the basis of essentially all fast exponentiation algorithms.  It requires $k$ squarings and on average
-$k \over 2$ multiplications to compute the result.  This is indeed quite an improvement over simply multiplying by $a$ a total of $b-1$ times.
-
-While this current method is a considerable speed up there are further improvements to be made.  For example, the $a^{2^i}$ term does not need to
-be computed in an auxilary variable.  Consider the following equivalent algorithm.

-This algorithm starts from the most significant bit and works towards the least significant bit.  When the $i$'th bit of $b$ is set $a$ is
-multiplied against the current product.  In each iteration the product is squared which doubles the exponent of the individual terms of the
-product.

-
-When the product $a^{32} \cdot a^8 \cdot a^4$ is simplified it is equal $a^{44}$ which is the desired exponentiation.  This particular algorithm is
-called ``Left to Right'' because it reads the exponent in that order.  All of the exponentiation algorithms that will be presented are of this nature.
-
-\subsection{Single Digit Exponentiation}
-The first algorithm in the series of exponentiation algorithms will be an unbounded algorithm where the exponent is a single digit.  It is intended
-to be used when a small power of an input is required (\textit{e.g. $a^5$}).  It is faster than simply multiplying $b - 1$ times for all values of
-$b$ that are greater than three.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_expt\_d.}
-This algorithm computes the value of $a$ raised to the power of a single digit $b$.  It uses the left to right exponentiation algorithm to
-quickly compute the exponentiation.  It is loosely based on algorithm 14.79 of HAC \cite[pp. 615]{HAC} with the difference that the
-exponent is a fixed width.
-
-A copy of $a$ is made first to allow destination variable $c$ be the same as the source variable $a$.  The result is set to the initial value of
-$1$ in the subsequent step.
-
-Inside the loop the exponent is read from the most significant bit first down to the least significant bit.  First $c$ is invariably squared
-on step 3.1.  In the following step if the most significant bit of $b$ is one the copy of $a$ is multiplied against $c$.  The value
-of $b$ is shifted left one bit to make the next bit down from the most signficant bit the new most significant bit.  In effect each
-iteration of the loop moves the bits of the exponent $b$ upwards to the most significant location.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_expt_d_ex.c
-
-This describes only the algorithm that is used when the parameter $fast$ is $0$.  Line @31,mp_set@ sets the initial value of the result to $1$.  Next the loop on line @54,for@ steps through each bit of the exponent starting from
-the most significant down towards the least significant. The invariant squaring operation placed on line @333,mp_sqr@ is performed first.  After
-the squaring the result $c$ is multiplied by the base $g$ if and only if the most significant bit of the exponent is set.  The shift on line
-@69,<<@ moves all of the bits of the exponent upwards towards the most significant location.
-
-\section{$k$-ary Exponentiation}
-When calculating an exponentiation the most time consuming bottleneck is the multiplications which are in general a small factor
-slower than squaring.  Recall from the previous algorithm that $b_{i}$ refers to the $i$'th bit of the exponent $b$.  Suppose instead it referred to
-the $i$'th $k$-bit digit of the exponent of $b$.  For $k = 1$ the definitions are synonymous and for $k > 1$ algorithm~\ref{fig:KARY}
-computes the same exponentiation.  A group of $k$ bits from the exponent is called a \textit{window}.  That is it is a small window on only a
-portion of the entire exponent.  Consider the following modification to the basic left to right exponentiation algorithm.
-

-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}

-\caption{$k$-ary Exponentiation}
-\label{fig:KARY}
-\end{figure}
-
-The squaring on step 2.1 can be calculated by squaring the value $c$ successively $k$ times.  If the values of $a^g$ for $0 < g < 2^k$ have been
-precomputed this algorithm requires only $t$ multiplications and $tk$ squarings.  The table can be generated with $2^{k - 1} - 1$ squarings and
-$2^{k - 1} + 1$ multiplications.  This algorithm assumes that the number of bits in the exponent is evenly divisible by $k$.
-However, when it is not the remaining $0 < x \le k - 1$ bits can be handled with algorithm~\ref{fig:LTOR}.
-
-Suppose $k = 4$ and $t = 100$.  This modified algorithm will require $109$ multiplications and $408$ squarings to compute the exponentiation.  The
-original algorithm would on average have required $200$ multiplications and $400$ squrings to compute the same value.  The total number of squarings
-has increased slightly but the number of multiplications has nearly halved.
-
-\subsection{Optimal Values of $k$}
-An optimal value of $k$ will minimize $2^{k} + \lceil n / k \rceil + n - 1$ for a fixed number of bits in the exponent $n$.  The simplest
-approach is to brute force search amongst the values $k = 2, 3, \ldots, 8$ for the lowest result.  Table~\ref{fig:OPTK} lists optimal values of $k$
-for various exponent sizes and compares the number of multiplication and squarings required against algorithm~\ref{fig:LTOR}.

-A simple modification to the previous algorithm is only generate the upper half of the table in the range $2^{k-1} \le g < 2^k$.  Essentially
-this is a table for all values of $g$ where the most significant bit of $g$ is a one.  However, in order for this to be allowed in the
-algorithm values of $g$ in the range $0 \le g < 2^{k-1}$ must be avoided.

-Similar to the previous algorithm this algorithm must have a special handler when fewer than $k$ bits are left in the exponent.  While this
-algorithm requires the same number of squarings it can potentially have fewer multiplications.  The pre-computed table $a^g$ is also half
-the size as the previous table.
-
-Consider the exponent $b = 111101011001000_2 \equiv 31432_{10}$ with $k = 3$ using both algorithms.  The first algorithm will divide the exponent up as
-the following five $3$-bit words $b \equiv \left ( 111, 101, 011, 001, 000 \right )_{2}$.  The second algorithm will break the
-exponent as $b \equiv \left ( 111, 101, 0, 110, 0, 100, 0 \right )_{2}$.  The single digit $0$ in the second representation are where
-a single squaring took place instead of a squaring and multiplication.  In total the first method requires $10$ multiplications and $18$
-squarings.  The second method requires $8$ multiplications and $18$ squarings.
-
-In general the sliding window method is never slower than the generic $k$-ary method and often it is slightly faster.
-
-\section{Modular Exponentiation}
-
-Modular exponentiation is essentially computing the power of a base within a finite field or ring.  For example, computing
-$d \equiv a^b \mbox{ (mod }c\mbox{)}$ is a modular exponentiation.  Instead of first computing $a^b$ and then reducing it
-modulo $c$ the intermediate result is reduced modulo $c$ after every squaring or multiplication operation.
-
-This guarantees that any intermediate result is bounded by $0 \le d \le c^2 - 2c + 1$ and can be reduced modulo $c$ quickly using
-one of the algorithms presented in ~REDUCTION~.
-
-Before the actual modular exponentiation algorithm can be written a wrapper algorithm must be written first.  This algorithm
-will allow the exponent $b$ to be negative which is computed as $c \equiv \left (1 / a \right )^{\vert b \vert} \mbox{(mod }d\mbox{)}$. The
-value of $(1/a) \mbox{ mod }c$ is computed using the modular inverse (\textit{see \ref{sec:modinv}}).  If no inverse exists the algorithm
-terminates with an error.

-
-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_exptmod.}
-The first algorithm which actually performs modular exponentiation is algorithm s\_mp\_exptmod.  It is a sliding window $k$-ary algorithm
-which uses Barrett reduction to reduce the product modulo $p$.  The second algorithm mp\_exptmod\_fast performs the same operation
-except it uses either Montgomery or Diminished Radix reduction.  The two latter reduction algorithms are clumped in the same exponentiation
-algorithm since their arguments are essentially the same (\textit{two mp\_ints and one mp\_digit}).
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_exptmod.c
-
-In order to keep the algorithms in a known state the first step on line @29,if@ is to reject any negative modulus as input.  If the exponent is
-negative the algorithm tries to perform a modular exponentiation with the modular inverse of the base $G$.  The temporary variable $tmpG$ is assigned
-the modular inverse of $G$ and $tmpX$ is assigned the absolute value of $X$.  The algorithm will recuse with these new values with a positive
-exponent.
-
-If the exponent is positive the algorithm resumes the exponentiation.  Line @63,dr_@ determines if the modulus is of the restricted Diminished Radix
-form.  If it is not line @65,reduce@ attempts to determine if it is of a unrestricted Diminished Radix form.  The integer $dr$ will take on one
-of three values.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item $dr = 0$ means that the modulus is not of either restricted or unrestricted Diminished Radix form.
-\item $dr = 1$ means that the modulus is of restricted Diminished Radix form.
-\item $dr = 2$ means that the modulus is of unrestricted Diminished Radix form.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-Line @69,if@ determines if the fast modular exponentiation algorithm can be used.  It is allowed if $dr \ne 0$ or if the modulus is odd.  Otherwise,
-the slower s\_mp\_exptmod algorithm is used which uses Barrett reduction.

-\textbf{Algorithm s\_mp\_exptmod.}
-This algorithm computes the $x$'th power of $g$ modulo $p$ and stores the result in $y$.  It takes advantage of the Barrett reduction
-algorithm to keep the product small throughout the algorithm.
-
-The first two steps determine the optimal window size based on the number of bits in the exponent.  The larger the exponent the
-larger the window size becomes.  After a window size $winsize$ has been chosen an array of $2^{winsize}$ mp\_int variables is allocated.  This
-table will hold the values of $g^x \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}$ for $2^{winsize - 1} \le x < 2^{winsize}$.
-
-After the table is allocated the first power of $g$ is found.  Since $g \ge p$ is allowed it must be first reduced modulo $p$ to make
-the rest of the algorithm more efficient.  The first element of the table at $2^{winsize - 1}$ is found by squaring $M_1$ successively $winsize - 2$
-times.  The rest of the table elements are found by multiplying the previous element by $M_1$ modulo $p$.
-
-Now that the table is available the sliding window may begin.  The following list describes the functions of all the variables in the window.
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item The variable $mode$ dictates how the bits of the exponent are interpreted.
-\begin{enumerate}
-   \item When $mode = 0$ the bits are ignored since no non-zero bit of the exponent has been seen yet.  For example, if the exponent were simply
-         $1$ then there would be $lg(\beta) - 1$ zero bits before the first non-zero bit.  In this case bits are ignored until a non-zero bit is found.
-   \item When $mode = 1$ a non-zero bit has been seen before and a new $winsize$-bit window has not been formed yet.  In this mode leading $0$ bits
-         are read and a single squaring is performed.  If a non-zero bit is read a new window is created.
-   \item When $mode = 2$ the algorithm is in the middle of forming a window and new bits are appended to the window from the most significant bit
-         downwards.
-\end{enumerate}
-\item The variable $bitcnt$ indicates how many bits are left in the current digit of the exponent left to be read.  When it reaches zero a new digit
-      is fetched from the exponent.
-\item The variable $buf$ holds the currently read digit of the exponent.
-\item The variable $digidx$ is an index into the exponents digits.  It starts at the leading digit $x.used - 1$ and moves towards the trailing digit.
-\item The variable $bitcpy$ indicates how many bits are in the currently formed window.  When it reaches $winsize$ the window is flushed and
-      the appropriate operations performed.
-\item The variable $bitbuf$ holds the current bits of the window being formed.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-All of step 12 is the window processing loop.  It will iterate while there are digits available form the exponent to read.  The first step
-inside this loop is to extract a new digit if no more bits are available in the current digit.  If there are no bits left a new digit is
-read and if there are no digits left than the loop terminates.
-
-After a digit is made available step 12.3 will extract the most significant bit of the current digit and move all other bits in the digit
-upwards.  In effect the digit is read from most significant bit to least significant bit and since the digits are read from leading to
-trailing edges the entire exponent is read from most significant bit to least significant bit.
-

-\chapter{Higher Level Algorithms}
-
-This chapter discusses the various higher level algorithms that are required to complete a well rounded multiple precision integer package.  These
-routines are less performance oriented than the algorithms of chapters five, six and seven but are no less important.
-
-The first section describes a method of integer division with remainder that is universally well known.  It provides the signed division logic
-for the package.  The subsequent section discusses a set of algorithms which allow a single digit to be the 2nd operand for a variety of operations.
-These algorithms serve mostly to simplify other algorithms where small constants are required.  The last two sections discuss how to manipulate
-various representations of integers.  For example, converting from an mp\_int to a string of character.

-\section{Integer Division with Remainder}
-\label{sec:division}
-
-Integer division aside from modular exponentiation is the most intensive algorithm to compute.  Like addition, subtraction and multiplication
-the basis of this algorithm is the long-hand division algorithm taught to school children.  Throughout this discussion several common variables
-will be used.  Let $x$ represent the divisor and $y$ represent the dividend.  Let $q$ represent the integer quotient $\lfloor y / x \rfloor$ and
-let $r$ represent the remainder $r = y - x \lfloor y / x \rfloor$.  The following simple algorithm will be used to start the discussion.

-\caption{Algorithm Radix-$\beta$ Integer Division}
-\label{fig:raddiv}
-\end{figure}
-
-As children we are taught this very simple algorithm for the case of $\beta = 10$.  Almost instinctively several optimizations are taught for which
-their reason of existing are never explained.  For this example let $y = 5471$ represent the dividend and $x = 23$ represent the divisor.
-
-To find the first digit of the quotient the value of $k$ must be maximized such that $kx\beta^t$ is less than or equal to $y$ and
-simultaneously $(k + 1)x\beta^t$ is greater than $y$.  Implicitly $k$ is the maximum value the $t$'th digit of the quotient may have.  The habitual method
-used to find the maximum is to ``eyeball'' the two numbers, typically only the leading digits and quickly estimate a quotient.  By only using leading
-digits a much simpler division may be used to form an educated guess at what the value must be.  In this case $k = \lfloor 54/23\rfloor = 2$ quickly
-arises as a possible  solution.  Indeed $2x\beta^2 = 4600$ is less than $y = 5471$ and simultaneously $(k + 1)x\beta^2 = 6900$ is larger than $y$.
-As a  result $k\beta^2$ is added to the quotient which now equals $q = 200$ and $4600$ is subtracted from $y$ to give a remainder of $y = 841$.
-
-Again this process is repeated to produce the quotient digit $k = 3$ which makes the quotient $q = 200 + 3\beta = 230$ and the remainder
-$y = 841 - 3x\beta = 181$.  Finally the last iteration of the loop produces $k = 7$ which leads to the quotient $q = 230 + 7 = 237$ and the
-remainder $y = 181 - 7x = 20$.  The final quotient and remainder found are $q = 237$ and $r = y = 20$ which are indeed correct since
-$237 \cdot 23 + 20 = 5471$ is true.
-
-\subsection{Quotient Estimation}
-\label{sec:divest}
-As alluded to earlier the quotient digit $k$ can be estimated from only the leading digits of both the divisor and dividend.  When $p$ leading
-digits are used from both the divisor and dividend to form an estimation the accuracy of the estimation rises as $p$ grows.  Technically
-speaking the estimation is based on assuming the lower $\vert \vert y \vert \vert - p$ and $\vert \vert x \vert \vert - p$ lower digits of the
-dividend and divisor are zero.
-
-The value of the estimation may off by a few values in either direction and in general is fairly correct.  A simplification \cite[pp. 271]{TAOCPV2}
-of the estimation technique is to use $t + 1$ digits of the dividend and $t$ digits of the divisor, in particularly when $t = 1$.  The estimate
-using this technique is never too small.  For the following proof let $t = \vert \vert y \vert \vert - 1$ and $s = \vert \vert x \vert \vert - 1$
-represent the most significant digits of the dividend and divisor respectively.
-
-\textbf{Proof.}\textit{  The quotient $\hat k = \lfloor (y_t\beta + y_{t-1}) / x_s \rfloor$ is greater than or equal to
-$k = \lfloor y / (x \cdot \beta^{\vert \vert y \vert \vert - \vert \vert x \vert \vert - 1}) \rfloor$. }
-The first obvious case is when $\hat k = \beta - 1$ in which case the proof is concluded since the real quotient cannot be larger.  For all other
-cases $\hat k = \lfloor (y_t\beta + y_{t-1}) / x_s \rfloor$ and $\hat k x_s \ge y_t\beta + y_{t-1} - x_s + 1$.  The latter portion of the inequalility
-$-x_s + 1$ arises from the fact that a truncated integer division will give the same quotient for at most $x_s - 1$ values.  Next a series of
-inequalities will prove the hypothesis.
-
-\begin{equation}
-y - \hat k x \le y - \hat k x_s\beta^s
-\end{equation}
-
-This is trivially true since $x \ge x_s\beta^s$.  Next we replace $\hat kx_s\beta^s$ by the previous inequality for $\hat kx_s$.
-
-\begin{equation}
-y - \hat k x \le y_t\beta^t + \ldots + y_0 - (y_t\beta^t + y_{t-1}\beta^{t-1} - x_s\beta^t + \beta^s)
-\end{equation}
-
-By simplifying the previous inequality the following inequality is formed.
-
-\begin{equation}
-y - \hat k x \le y_{t-2}\beta^{t-2} + \ldots + y_0 + x_s\beta^s - \beta^s
-\end{equation}
-
-Subsequently,
-
-\begin{equation}
-y_{t-2}\beta^{t-2} + \ldots +  y_0  + x_s\beta^s - \beta^s < x_s\beta^s \le x
-\end{equation}
-
-Which proves that $y - \hat kx \le x$ and by consequence $\hat k \ge k$ which concludes the proof.  \textbf{QED}
-
-
-\subsection{Normalized Integers}
-For the purposes of division a normalized input is when the divisors leading digit $x_n$ is greater than or equal to $\beta / 2$.  By multiplying both
-$x$ and $y$ by $j = \lfloor (\beta / 2) / x_n \rfloor$ the quotient remains unchanged and the remainder is simply $j$ times the original
-remainder.  The purpose of normalization is to ensure the leading digit of the divisor is sufficiently large such that the estimated quotient will
-lie in the domain of a single digit.  Consider the maximum dividend $(\beta - 1) \cdot \beta + (\beta - 1)$ and the minimum divisor $\beta / 2$.
-
-\begin{equation}
-{{\beta^2 - 1} \over { \beta / 2}} \le 2\beta - {2 \over \beta}
-\end{equation}
-
-At most the quotient approaches $2\beta$, however, in practice this will not occur since that would imply the previous quotient digit was too small.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_div.}
-This algorithm will calculate quotient and remainder from an integer division given a dividend and divisor.  The algorithm is a signed
-division and will produce a fully qualified quotient and remainder.
-
-First the divisor $b$ must be non-zero which is enforced in step one.  If the divisor is larger than the dividend than the quotient is implicitly
-zero and the remainder is the dividend.
-
-After the first two trivial cases of inputs are handled the variable $q$ is setup to receive the digits of the quotient.  Two unsigned copies of the
-divisor $y$ and dividend $x$ are made as well.  The core of the division algorithm is an unsigned division and will only work if the values are
-positive.  Now the two values $x$ and $y$ must be normalized such that the leading digit of $y$ is greater than or equal to $\beta / 2$.
-This is performed by shifting both to the left by enough bits to get the desired normalization.
-
-At this point the division algorithm can begin producing digits of the quotient.  Recall that maximum value of the estimation used is
-$2\beta - {2 \over \beta}$ which means that a digit of the quotient must be first produced by another means.  In this case $y$ is shifted
-to the left (\textit{step ten}) so that it has the same number of digits as $x$.  The loop on step eleven will subtract multiples of the
-shifted copy of $y$ until $x$ is smaller.  Since the leading digit of $y$ is greater than or equal to $\beta/2$ this loop will iterate at most two
-times to produce the desired leading digit of the quotient.
-
-Now the remainder of the digits can be produced.  The equation $\hat q = \lfloor {{x_i \beta + x_{i-1}}\over y_t} \rfloor$ is used to fairly
-accurately approximate the true quotient digit.  The estimation can in theory produce an estimation as high as $2\beta - {2 \over \beta}$ but by
-induction the upper quotient digit is correct (\textit{as established on step eleven}) and the estimate must be less than $\beta$.
-
-Recall from section~\ref{sec:divest} that the estimation is never too low but may be too high.  The next step of the estimation process is
-to refine the estimation.  The loop on step 13.5 uses $x_i\beta^2 + x_{i-1}\beta + x_{i-2}$ and $q_{i - t - 1}(y_t\beta + y_{t-1})$ as a higher
-order approximation to adjust the quotient digit.
-
-After both phases of estimation the quotient digit may still be off by a value of one\footnote{This is similar to the error introduced
-by optimizing Barrett reduction.}.  Steps 13.6 and 13.7 subtract the multiple of the divisor from the dividend (\textit{Similar to step 3.3 of
-algorithm~\ref{fig:raddiv}} and then subsequently add a multiple of the divisor if the quotient was too large.
-
-Now that the quotient has been determine finializing the result is a matter of clamping the quotient, fixing the sizes and de-normalizing the
-remainder.  An important aspect of this algorithm seemingly overlooked in other descriptions such as that of Algorithm 14.20 HAC \cite[pp. 598]{HAC}
-is that when the estimations are being made (\textit{inside the loop on step 13.5}) that the digits $y_{t-1}$, $x_{i-2}$ and $x_{i-1}$ may lie
-outside their respective boundaries.  For example, if $t = 0$ or $i \le 1$ then the digits would be undefined.  In those cases the digits should
-respectively be replaced with a zero.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_div.c
-
-The implementation of this algorithm differs slightly from the pseudo code presented previously.  In this algorithm either of the quotient $c$ or
-remainder $d$ may be passed as a \textbf{NULL} pointer which indicates their value is not desired.  For example, the C code to call the division
-algorithm with only the quotient is
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-mp_div(&a, &b, &c, NULL);  /* c = [a/b] */
-\end{verbatim}
-
-Lines @108,if@ and @113,if@ handle the two trivial cases of inputs which are division by zero and dividend smaller than the divisor
-respectively.  After the two trivial cases all of the temporary variables are initialized.  Line @147,neg@ determines the sign of
-the quotient and line @148,sign@ ensures that both $x$ and $y$ are positive.
-
-The number of bits in the leading digit is calculated on line @151,norm@.  Implictly an mp\_int with $r$ digits will require $lg(\beta)(r-1) + k$ bits
-of precision which when reduced modulo $lg(\beta)$ produces the value of $k$.  In this case $k$ is the number of bits in the leading digit which is
-exactly what is required.  For the algorithm to operate $k$ must equal $lg(\beta) - 1$ and when it does not the inputs must be normalized by shifting
-them to the left by $lg(\beta) - 1 - k$ bits.
-
-Throughout the variables $n$ and $t$ will represent the highest digit of $x$ and $y$ respectively.  These are first used to produce the
-leading digit of the quotient.  The loop beginning on line @184,for@ will produce the remainder of the quotient digits.
-
-The conditional ``continue'' on line @186,continue@ is used to prevent the algorithm from reading past the leading edge of $x$ which can occur when the
-algorithm eliminates multiple non-zero digits in a single iteration.  This ensures that $x_i$ is always non-zero since by definition the digits
-above the $i$'th position $x$ must be zero in order for the quotient to be precise\footnote{Precise as far as integer division is concerned.}.
-
-Lines @214,t1@, @216,t1@ and @222,t2@ through @225,t2@ manually construct the high accuracy estimations by setting the digits of the two mp\_int
-variables directly.

-\section{Single Digit Helpers}
-
-This section briefly describes a series of single digit helper algorithms which come in handy when working with small constants.  All of
-the helper functions assume the single digit input is positive and will treat them as such.
-
-\subsection{Single Digit Addition and Subtraction}
-
-Both addition and subtraction are performed by ``cheating'' and using mp\_set followed by the higher level addition or subtraction
-algorithms.   As a result these algorithms are subtantially simpler with a slight cost in performance.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_div\_d.}
-This algorithm divides the mp\_int $a$ by the single mp\_digit $b$ using an optimized approach.  Essentially in every iteration of the
-algorithm another digit of the dividend is reduced and another digit of quotient produced.  Provided $b < \beta$ the value of $\hat w$
-after step 7.1 will be limited such that $0 \le \lfloor \hat w / b \rfloor < \beta$.
-
-If the divisor $b$ is equal to three a variant of this algorithm is used which is called mp\_div\_3.  It replaces the division by three with
-a multiplication by $\lfloor \beta / 3 \rfloor$ and the appropriate shift and residual fixup.  In essence it is much like the Barrett reduction
-from chapter seven.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_div_d.c
-
-Like the implementation of algorithm mp\_div this algorithm allows either of the quotient or remainder to be passed as a \textbf{NULL} pointer to
-indicate the respective value is not required.  This allows a trivial single digit modular reduction algorithm, mp\_mod\_d to be created.
-
-The division and remainder on lines @90,/@ and @91,-@ can be replaced often by a single division on most processors.  For example, the 32-bit x86 based
-processors can divide a 64-bit quantity by a 32-bit quantity and produce the quotient and remainder simultaneously.  Unfortunately the GCC
-compiler does not recognize that optimization and will actually produce two function calls to find the quotient and remainder respectively.

-\subsection{Single Digit Root Extraction}
-
-Finding the $n$'th root of an integer is fairly easy as far as numerical analysis is concerned.  Algorithms such as the Newton-Raphson approximation
-(\ref{eqn:newton}) series will converge very quickly to a root for any continuous function $f(x)$.
-
-\begin{equation}
-x_{i+1} = x_i - {f(x_i) \over f'(x_i)}
-\label{eqn:newton}
-\end{equation}
-
-In this case the $n$'th root is desired and $f(x) = x^n - a$ where $a$ is the integer of which the root is desired.  The derivative of $f(x)$ is
-simply $f'(x) = nx^{n - 1}$.  Of particular importance is that this algorithm will be used over the integers not over the a more continuous domain
-such as the real numbers.  As a result the root found can be above the true root by few and must be manually adjusted.  Ideally at the end of the
-algorithm the $n$'th root $b$ of an integer $a$ is desired such that $b^n \le a$.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_n\_root.}
-This algorithm finds the integer $n$'th root of an input using the Newton-Raphson approach.  It is partially optimized based on the observation
-that the numerator of ${f(x) \over f'(x)}$ can be derived from a partial denominator.  That is at first the denominator is calculated by finding
-$x^{b - 1}$.  This value can then be multiplied by $x$ and have $a$ subtracted from it to find the numerator.  This saves a total of $b - 1$
-multiplications by t$1$ inside the loop.
-
-The initial value of the approximation is t$2 = 2$ which allows the algorithm to start with very small values and quickly converge on the

-\section{Formatted Representations}
-The ability to emit a radix-$n$ textual representation of an integer is useful for interacting with human parties.  For example, the ability to
-be given a string of characters such as ``114585'' and turn it into the radix-$\beta$ equivalent would make it easier to enter numbers
-into a program.

-\subsection{Reading Radix-n Input}
-For the purposes of this text we will assume that a simple lower ASCII map (\ref{fig:ASC}) is used for the values of from $0$ to $63$ to
-printable characters.  For example, when the character ``N'' is read it represents the integer $23$.  The first $16$ characters of the
-map are for the common representations up to hexadecimal.  After that they match the ``base64'' encoding scheme which are suitable chosen
-such that they are printable.  While outputting as base64 may not be too helpful for human operators it does allow communication via non binary
-mediums.

-\chapter{Number Theoretic Algorithms}
-This chapter discusses several fundamental number theoretic algorithms such as the greatest common divisor, least common multiple and Jacobi
-symbol computation.  These algorithms arise as essential components in several key cryptographic algorithms such as the RSA public key algorithm and
-various Sieve based factoring algorithms.
-
-\section{Greatest Common Divisor}
-The greatest common divisor of two integers $a$ and $b$, often denoted as $(a, b)$ is the largest integer $k$ that is a proper divisor of
-both $a$ and $b$.  That is, $k$ is the largest integer such that $0 \equiv a \mbox{ (mod }k\mbox{)}$ and $0 \equiv b \mbox{ (mod }k\mbox{)}$ occur
-simultaneously.
-
-The most common approach (cite) is to reduce one input modulo another.  That is if $a$ and $b$ are divisible by some integer $k$ and if $qa + r = b$ then
-$r$ is also divisible by $k$.  The reduction pattern follows $\left < a , b \right > \rightarrow \left < b, a \mbox{ mod } b \right >$.

-This algorithm will quickly converge on the greatest common divisor since the residue $r$ tends diminish rapidly.  However, divisions are
-relatively expensive operations to perform and should ideally be avoided.  There is another approach based on a similar relationship of
-greatest common divisors.  The faster approach is based on the observation that if $k$ divides both $a$ and $b$ it will also divide $a - b$.
-In particular, we would like $a - b$ to decrease in magnitude which implies that $b \ge a$.

-\textbf{Proof} \textit{Algorithm~\ref{fig:gcd2} will return the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$.}
-The algorithm in figure~\ref{fig:gcd2} will eventually terminate since $b \ge a$ the subtraction in step 1.2 will be a value less than $b$.  In other
-words in every iteration that tuple $\left < a, b \right >$ decrease in magnitude until eventually $a = b$.  Since both $a$ and $b$ are always
-divisible by the greatest common divisor (\textit{until the last iteration}) and in the last iteration of the algorithm $b = 0$, therefore, in the
-second to last iteration of the algorithm $b = a$ and clearly $(a, a) = a$ which concludes the proof.  \textbf{QED}.
-
-As a matter of practicality algorithm \ref{fig:gcd1} decreases far too slowly to be useful.  Specially if $b$ is much larger than $a$ such that
-$b - a$ is still very much larger than $a$.  A simple addition to the algorithm is to divide $b - a$ by a power of some integer $p$ which does
-not divide the greatest common divisor but will divide $b - a$.  In this case ${b - a} \over p$ is also an integer and still divisible by
-the greatest common divisor.
-
-However, instead of factoring $b - a$ to find a suitable value of $p$ the powers of $p$ can be removed from $a$ and $b$ that are in common first.
-Then inside the loop whenever $b - a$ is divisible by some power of $p$ it can be safely removed.

-This algorithm is based on the first except it removes powers of $p$ first and inside the main loop to ensure the tuple $\left < a, b \right >$
-decreases more rapidly.  The first loop on step two removes powers of $p$ that are in common.  A count, $k$, is kept which will present a common
-divisor of $p^k$.  After step two the remaining common divisor of $a$ and $b$ cannot be divisible by $p$.  This means that $p$ can be safely
-divided out of the difference $b - a$ so long as the division leaves no remainder.
-
-In particular the value of $p$ should be chosen such that the division on step 5.3.1 occur often.  It also helps that division by $p$ be easy
-to compute.  The ideal choice of $p$ is two since division by two amounts to a right logical shift.  Another important observation is that by
-step five both $a$ and $b$ are odd.  Therefore, the diffrence $b - a$ must be even which means that each iteration removes one bit from the
-largest of the pair.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_gcd.}
-This algorithm will produce the greatest common divisor of two mp\_ints $a$ and $b$.  The algorithm was originally based on Algorithm B of
-Knuth \cite[pp. 338]{TAOCPV2} but has been modified to be simpler to explain.  In theory it achieves the same asymptotic working time as
-Algorithm B and in practice this appears to be true.
-
-The first two steps handle the cases where either one of or both inputs are zero.  If either input is zero the greatest common divisor is the
-largest input or zero if they are both zero.  If the inputs are not trivial than $u$ and $v$ are assigned the absolute values of
-$a$ and $b$ respectively and the algorithm will proceed to reduce the pair.
-
-Step five will divide out any common factors of two and keep track of the count in the variable $k$.  After this step, two is no longer a
-factor of the remaining greatest common divisor between $u$ and $v$ and can be safely evenly divided out of either whenever they are even.  Step
-six and seven ensure that the $u$ and $v$ respectively have no more factors of two.  At most only one of the while--loops will iterate since
-they cannot both be even.
-
-By step eight both of $u$ and $v$ are odd which is required for the inner logic.  First the pair are swapped such that $v$ is equal to
-or greater than $u$.  This ensures that the subtraction on step 8.2 will always produce a positive and even result.  Step 8.3 removes any
-factors of two from the difference $u$ to ensure that in the next iteration of the loop both are once again odd.
-
-After $v = 0$ occurs the variable $u$ has the greatest common divisor of the pair $\left < u, v \right >$ just after step six.  The result
-must be adjusted by multiplying by the common factors of two ($2^k$) removed earlier.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_gcd.c
-
-This function makes use of the macros mp\_iszero and mp\_iseven.  The former evaluates to $1$ if the input mp\_int is equivalent to the
-integer zero otherwise it evaluates to $0$.  The latter evaluates to $1$ if the input mp\_int represents a non-zero even integer otherwise
-it evaluates to $0$.  Note that just because mp\_iseven may evaluate to $0$ does not mean the input is odd, it could also be zero.  The three
-trivial cases of inputs are handled on lines @23,zero@ through @29,}@.  After those lines the inputs are assumed to be non-zero.
-
-Lines @32,if@ and @36,if@ make local copies $u$ and $v$ of the inputs $a$ and $b$ respectively.  At this point the common factors of two
-must be divided out of the two inputs.  The block starting at line @43,common@ removes common factors of two by first counting the number of trailing
-zero bits in both.  The local integer $k$ is used to keep track of how many factors of $2$ are pulled out of both values.  It is assumed that
-the number of factors will not exceed the maximum value of a C ``int'' data type\footnote{Strictly speaking no array in C may have more than
-entries than are accessible by an ``int'' so this is not a limitation.}.
-
-At this point there are no more common factors of two in the two values.  The divisions by a power of two on lines @60,div_2d@ and @67,div_2d@ remove
-any independent factors of two such that both $u$ and $v$ are guaranteed to be an odd integer before hitting the main body of the algorithm.  The while loop
-on line @72, while@ performs the reduction of the pair until $v$ is equal to zero.  The unsigned comparison and subtraction algorithms are used in
-place of the full signed routines since both values are guaranteed to be positive and the result of the subtraction is guaranteed to be non-negative.
-
-\section{Least Common Multiple}
-The least common multiple of a pair of integers is their product divided by their greatest common divisor.  For two integers $a$ and $b$ the
-least common multiple is normally denoted as $[ a, b ]$ and numerically equivalent to ${ab} \over {(a, b)}$.  For example, if $a = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 12$
-and $b = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 7 = 126$ the least common multiple is ${126 \over {(12, 126)}} = {126 \over 6} = 21$.
-
-The least common multiple arises often in coding theory as well as number theory.  If two functions have periods of $a$ and $b$ respectively they will
-collide, that is be in synchronous states, after only $[ a, b ]$ iterations.  This is why, for example, random number generators based on
-Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSR) tend to use registers with periods which are co-prime (\textit{e.g. the greatest common divisor is one.}).
-Similarly in number theory if a composite $n$ has two prime factors $p$ and $q$ then maximal order of any unit of $\Z/n\Z$ will be $[ p - 1, q - 1] $.

-\section{Jacobi Symbol Computation}
-To explain the Jacobi Symbol we shall first discuss the Legendre function\footnote{Arrg.  What is the name of this?} off which the Jacobi symbol is
-defined.  The Legendre function computes whether or not an integer $a$ is a quadratic residue modulo an odd prime $p$.  Numerically it is
-equivalent to equation \ref{eqn:legendre}.
-
-\textit{-- Tom, don't be an ass, cite your source here...!}
-
-\begin{equation}
-a^{(p-1)/2} \equiv \begin{array}{rl}
-                              -1 &  \mbox{if }a\mbox{ is a quadratic non-residue.} \\
-                              0  &  \mbox{if }a\mbox{ divides }p\mbox{.} \\
-                              1  &  \mbox{if }a\mbox{ is a quadratic residue}.
-                              \end{array} \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}
-\label{eqn:legendre}
-\end{equation}
-
-\textbf{Proof.} \textit{Equation \ref{eqn:legendre} correctly identifies the residue status of an integer $a$ modulo a prime $p$.}
-An integer $a$ is a quadratic residue if the following equation has a solution.
-
-\begin{equation}
-x^2 \equiv a \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}
-\label{eqn:root}
-\end{equation}
-
-Consider the following equation.
-
-\begin{equation}
-0 \equiv x^{p-1} - 1 \equiv \left \lbrace \left (x^2 \right )^{(p-1)/2} - a^{(p-1)/2} \right \rbrace + \left ( a^{(p-1)/2} - 1 \right ) \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}
-\label{eqn:rooti}
-\end{equation}
-
-Whether equation \ref{eqn:root} has a solution or not equation \ref{eqn:rooti} is always true.  If $a^{(p-1)/2} - 1 \equiv 0 \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}$
-then the quantity in the braces must be zero.  By reduction,
-
-\begin{eqnarray}
-\left (x^2 \right )^{(p-1)/2} - a^{(p-1)/2} \equiv 0  \nonumber \\
-\left (x^2 \right )^{(p-1)/2} \equiv a^{(p-1)/2} \nonumber \\
-x^2 \equiv a \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}
-\end{eqnarray}
-
-As a result there must be a solution to the quadratic equation and in turn $a$ must be a quadratic residue.  If $a$ does not divide $p$ and $a$
-is not a quadratic residue then the only other value $a^{(p-1)/2}$ may be congruent to is $-1$ since
-\begin{equation}
-0 \equiv a^{p - 1} - 1 \equiv (a^{(p-1)/2} + 1)(a^{(p-1)/2} - 1) \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}
-\end{equation}
-One of the terms on the right hand side must be zero.  \textbf{QED}
-
-\subsection{Jacobi Symbol}
-The Jacobi symbol is a generalization of the Legendre function for any odd non prime moduli $p$ greater than 2.  If $p = \prod_{i=0}^n p_i$ then
-the Jacobi symbol $\left ( { a \over p } \right )$ is equal to the following equation.
-
-\begin{equation}
-\left ( { a \over p } \right ) = \left ( { a \over p_0} \right ) \left ( { a \over p_1} \right ) \ldots \left ( { a \over p_n} \right )
-\end{equation}
-
-By inspection if $p$ is prime the Jacobi symbol is equivalent to the Legendre function.  The following facts\footnote{See HAC \cite[pp. 72-74]{HAC} for
-further details.} will be used to derive an efficient Jacobi symbol algorithm.  Where $p$ is an odd integer greater than two and $a, b \in \Z$ the
-following are true.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item $\left ( { a \over p} \right )$ equals $-1$, $0$ or $1$.
-\item $\left ( { ab \over p} \right ) = \left ( { a \over p} \right )\left ( { b \over p} \right )$.
-\item If $a \equiv b$ then $\left ( { a \over p} \right ) = \left ( { b \over p} \right )$.
-\item $\left ( { 2 \over p} \right )$ equals $1$ if $p \equiv 1$ or $7 \mbox{ (mod }8\mbox{)}$.  Otherwise, it equals $-1$.
-\item $\left ( { a \over p} \right ) \equiv \left ( { p \over a} \right ) \cdot (-1)^{(p-1)(a-1)/4}$.  More specifically
-$\left ( { a \over p} \right ) = \left ( { p \over a} \right )$ if $p \equiv a \equiv 1 \mbox{ (mod }4\mbox{)}$.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-Using these facts if $a = 2^k \cdot a'$ then
-
-\begin{eqnarray}
-\left ( { a \over p } \right ) = \left ( {{2^k} \over p } \right ) \left ( {a' \over p} \right ) \nonumber \\
-                               = \left ( {2 \over p } \right )^k \left ( {a' \over p} \right )
-\label{eqn:jacobi}
-\end{eqnarray}
-
-By fact five,
-
-\begin{equation}
-\left ( { a \over p } \right ) = \left ( { p \over a } \right ) \cdot (-1)^{(p-1)(a-1)/4}
-\end{equation}
-
-Subsequently by fact three since $p \equiv (p \mbox{ mod }a) \mbox{ (mod }a\mbox{)}$ then
-
-\begin{equation}
-\left ( { a \over p } \right ) = \left ( { {p \mbox{ mod } a} \over a } \right ) \cdot (-1)^{(p-1)(a-1)/4}
-\end{equation}
-
-By putting both observations into equation \ref{eqn:jacobi} the following simplified equation is formed.
-
-\begin{equation}
-\left ( { a \over p } \right ) = \left ( {2 \over p } \right )^k \left ( {{p\mbox{ mod }a'} \over a'} \right )  \cdot (-1)^{(p-1)(a'-1)/4}
-\end{equation}
-
-The value of $\left ( {{p \mbox{ mod }a'} \over a'} \right )$ can be found by using the same equation recursively.  The value of
-$\left ( {2 \over p } \right )^k$ equals $1$ if $k$ is even otherwise it equals $\left ( {2 \over p } \right )$.  Using this approach the
-factors of $p$ do not have to be known.  Furthermore, if $(a, p) = 1$ then the algorithm will terminate when the recursion requests the
-Jacobi symbol computation of $\left ( {1 \over a'} \right )$ which is simply $1$.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_jacobi.}
-This algorithm computes the Jacobi symbol for an arbitrary positive integer $a$ with respect to an odd integer $p$ greater than three.  The algorithm
-is based on algorithm 2.149 of HAC \cite[pp. 73]{HAC}.
-
-Step numbers one and two handle the trivial cases of $a = 0$ and $a = 1$ respectively.  Step five determines the number of two factors in the
-input $a$.  If $k$ is even than the term $\left ( { 2 \over p } \right )^k$ must always evaluate to one.  If $k$ is odd than the term evaluates to one
-if $p_0$ is congruent to one or seven modulo eight, otherwise it evaluates to $-1$. After the the $\left ( { 2 \over p } \right )^k$ term is handled
-the $(-1)^{(p-1)(a'-1)/4}$ is computed and multiplied against the current product $s$.  The latter term evaluates to one if both $p$ and $a'$
-are congruent to one modulo four, otherwise it evaluates to negative one.
-
-By step nine if $a'$ does not equal one a recursion is required.  Step 9.1 computes $p' \equiv p \mbox{ (mod }a'\mbox{)}$ and will recurse to compute
-$\left ( {p' \over a'} \right )$ which is multiplied against the current Jacobi product.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_jacobi.c
-
-As a matter of practicality the variable $a'$ as per the pseudo-code is reprensented by the variable $a1$ since the $'$ symbol is not valid for a C
-variable name character.
-
-The two simple cases of $a = 0$ and $a = 1$ are handled at the very beginning to simplify the algorithm.  If the input is non-trivial the algorithm
-has to proceed compute the Jacobi.  The variable $s$ is used to hold the current Jacobi product.  Note that $s$ is merely a C ``int'' data type since
-the values it may obtain are merely $-1$, $0$ and $1$.
-
-After a local copy of $a$ is made all of the factors of two are divided out and the total stored in $k$.  Technically only the least significant
-bit of $k$ is required, however, it makes the algorithm simpler to follow to perform an addition. In practice an exclusive-or and addition have the same
-processor requirements and neither is faster than the other.
-
-Line @59, if@ through @70, }@ determines the value of $\left ( { 2 \over p } \right )^k$.  If the least significant bit of $k$ is zero than
-$k$ is even and the value is one.  Otherwise, the value of $s$ depends on which residue class $p$ belongs to modulo eight.  The value of
-$(-1)^{(p-1)(a'-1)/4}$ is compute and multiplied against $s$ on lines @73, if@ through @75, }@.
-
-Finally, if $a1$ does not equal one the algorithm must recurse and compute $\left ( {p' \over a'} \right )$.

-\section{Modular Inverse}
-\label{sec:modinv}
-The modular inverse of a number actually refers to the modular multiplicative inverse.  Essentially for any integer $a$ such that $(a, p) = 1$ there
-exist another integer $b$ such that $ab \equiv 1 \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}$.  The integer $b$ is called the multiplicative inverse of $a$ which is
-denoted as $b = a^{-1}$.  Technically speaking modular inversion is a well defined operation for any finite ring or field not just for rings and
-fields of integers.  However, the former will be the matter of discussion.
-
-The simplest approach is to compute the algebraic inverse of the input.  That is to compute $b \equiv a^{\Phi(p) - 1}$.  If $\Phi(p)$ is the
-order of the multiplicative subgroup modulo $p$ then $b$ must be the multiplicative inverse of $a$.  The proof of which is trivial.
-
-\begin{equation}
-ab \equiv a \left (a^{\Phi(p) - 1} \right ) \equiv a^{\Phi(p)} \equiv a^0 \equiv 1 \mbox{ (mod }p\mbox{)}
-\end{equation}
-
-However, as simple as this approach may be it has two serious flaws.  It requires that the value of $\Phi(p)$ be known which if $p$ is composite
-requires all of the prime factors.  This approach also is very slow as the size of $p$ grows.
-
-A simpler approach is based on the observation that solving for the multiplicative inverse is equivalent to solving the linear
-Diophantine\footnote{See LeVeque \cite[pp. 40-43]{LeVeque} for more information.} equation.
-
-\begin{equation}
-ab + pq = 1
-\end{equation}
-
-Where $a$, $b$, $p$ and $q$ are all integers.  If such a pair of integers $ \left < b, q \right >$ exist than $b$ is the multiplicative inverse of
-$a$ modulo $p$.  The extended Euclidean algorithm (Knuth \cite[pp. 342]{TAOCPV2}) can be used to solve such equations provided $(a, p) = 1$.
-However, instead of using that algorithm directly a variant known as the binary Extended Euclidean algorithm will be used in its place.  The
-binary approach is very similar to the binary greatest common divisor algorithm except it will produce a full solution to the Diophantine
-equation.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_invmod.}
-This algorithm computes the modular multiplicative inverse of an integer $a$ modulo an integer $b$.  This algorithm is a variation of the
-extended binary Euclidean algorithm from HAC \cite[pp. 608]{HAC}.  It has been modified to only compute the modular inverse and not a complete
-Diophantine solution.
-
-If $b \le 0$ than the modulus is invalid and MP\_VAL is returned.  Similarly if both $a$ and $b$ are even then there cannot be a multiplicative
-inverse for $a$ and the error is reported.
-
-The astute reader will observe that steps seven through nine are very similar to the binary greatest common divisor algorithm mp\_gcd.  In this case
-the other variables to the Diophantine equation are solved.  The algorithm terminates when $u = 0$ in which case the solution is
-
-\begin{equation}
-Ca + Db = v
-\end{equation}
-
-If $v$, the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$ is not equal to one then the algorithm will report an error as no inverse exists.  Otherwise, $C$
-is the modular inverse of $a$.  The actual value of $C$ is congruent to, but not necessarily equal to, the ideal modular inverse which should lie
-within $1 \le a^{-1} < b$.  Step numbers twelve and thirteen adjust the inverse until it is in range.  If the original input $a$ is within $0 < a < p$
-then only a couple of additions or subtractions will be required to adjust the inverse.
-
-EXAM,bn_mp_invmod.c
-
-\subsubsection{Odd Moduli}
-
-When the modulus $b$ is odd the variables $A$ and $C$ are fixed and are not required to compute the inverse.  In particular by attempting to solve
-the Diophantine $Cb + Da = 1$ only $B$ and $D$ are required to find the inverse of $a$.
-
-The algorithm fast\_mp\_invmod is a direct adaptation of algorithm mp\_invmod with all all steps involving either $A$ or $C$ removed.  This
-optimization will halve the time required to compute the modular inverse.
-
-\section{Primality Tests}
-
-A non-zero integer $a$ is said to be prime if it is not divisible by any other integer excluding one and itself.  For example, $a = 7$ is prime
-since the integers $2 \ldots 6$ do not evenly divide $a$.  By contrast, $a = 6$ is not prime since $a = 6 = 2 \cdot 3$.
-
-Prime numbers arise in cryptography considerably as they allow finite fields to be formed.  The ability to determine whether an integer is prime or
-not quickly has been a viable subject in cryptography and number theory for considerable time.  The algorithms that will be presented are all
-probablistic algorithms in that when they report an integer is composite it must be composite.  However, when the algorithms report an integer is
-prime the algorithm may be incorrect.
-
-As will be discussed it is possible to limit the probability of error so well that for practical purposes the probablity of error might as
-well be zero.  For the purposes of these discussions let $n$ represent the candidate integer of which the primality is in question.
-
-\subsection{Trial Division}
-
-Trial division means to attempt to evenly divide a candidate integer by small prime integers.  If the candidate can be evenly divided it obviously
-cannot be prime.  By dividing by all primes $1 < p \le \sqrt{n}$ this test can actually prove whether an integer is prime.  However, such a test
-would require a prohibitive amount of time as $n$ grows.
-
-Instead of dividing by every prime, a smaller, more mangeable set of primes may be used instead.  By performing trial division with only a subset
-of the primes less than $\sqrt{n} + 1$ the algorithm cannot prove if a candidate is prime.  However, often it can prove a candidate is not prime.
-
-The benefit of this test is that trial division by small values is fairly efficient.  Specially compared to the other algorithms that will be
-discussed shortly.  The probability that this approach correctly identifies a composite candidate when tested with all primes upto $q$ is given by
-$1 - {1.12 \over ln(q)}$.  The graph (\ref{pic:primality}) demonstrates the probability of success for the range $3 \le q \le 100$.
-
-FIGU,primality,Probability of successful trial division to detect non-primes
-
-At approximately $q = 30$ the gain of performing further tests diminishes fairly quickly.  At $q = 90$ further testing is generally not going to
-be of any practical use.  In the case of LibTomMath the default limit $q = 256$ was chosen since it is not too high and will eliminate
-approximately $80\%$ of all candidate integers.  The constant \textbf{PRIME\_SIZE} is equal to the number of primes in the test base.  The
-array \_\_prime\_tab is an array of the first \textbf{PRIME\_SIZE} prime numbers.

-
-\subsection{The Fermat Test}
-The Fermat test is probably one the oldest tests to have a non-trivial probability of success.  It is based on the fact that if $n$ is in
-fact prime then $a^{n} \equiv a \mbox{ (mod }n\mbox{)}$ for all $0 < a < n$.  The reason being that if $n$ is prime than the order of
-the multiplicative sub group is $n - 1$.  Any base $a$ must have an order which divides $n - 1$ and as such $a^n$ is equivalent to
-$a^1 = a$.

-If $n$ is composite then any given base $a$ does not have to have a period which divides $n - 1$.  In which case
-it is possible that $a^n \nequiv a \mbox{ (mod }n\mbox{)}$.  However, this test is not absolute as it is possible that the order
-of a base will divide $n - 1$ which would then be reported as prime.  Such a base yields what is known as a Fermat pseudo-prime.  Several
-integers known as Carmichael numbers will be a pseudo-prime to all valid bases.  Fortunately such numbers are extremely rare as $n$ grows
-in size.

-\subsection{The Miller-Rabin Test}
-The Miller-Rabin (citation) test is another primality test which has tighter error bounds than the Fermat test specifically with sequentially chosen
-candidate  integers.  The algorithm is based on the observation that if $n - 1 = 2^kr$ and if $b^r \nequiv \pm 1$ then after upto $k - 1$ squarings the
-value must be equal to $-1$.  The squarings are stopped as soon as $-1$ is observed.  If the value of $1$ is observed first it means that
-some value not congruent to $\pm 1$ when squared equals one which cannot occur if $n$ is prime.

-\textbf{Algorithm mp\_prime\_miller\_rabin.}
-This algorithm performs one trial round of the Miller-Rabin algorithm to the base $b$.  It will set $c = 1$ if the algorithm cannot determine
-if $b$ is composite or $c = 0$ if $b$ is provably composite.  The values of $s$ and $r$ are computed such that $a' = a - 1 = 2^sr$.
-
-If the value $y \equiv b^r$ is congruent to $\pm 1$ then the algorithm cannot prove if $a$ is composite or not.  Otherwise, the algorithm will
-square $y$ upto $s - 1$ times stopping only when $y \equiv -1$.  If $y^2 \equiv 1$ and $y \nequiv \pm 1$ then the algorithm can report that $a$
-is provably composite.  If the algorithm performs $s - 1$ squarings and $y \nequiv -1$ then $a$ is provably composite.  If $a$ is not provably
-composite then it is \textit{probably} prime.
