.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBN_mod_exp_mont()\fR computes \fIa\fR to the \fIp\fR\-th power modulo \fIm\fR (\f(CW\*(C`rr=a^p % m\*(C'\fR)
using Montgomery multiplication. \fIin_mont\fR is a Montgomery context and can be
NULL. In the case \fIin_mont\fR is NULL, it will be initialized within the
function, so you can save time on initialization if you provide it in advance.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_exp_mont_consttime()\fR computes \fIa\fR to the \fIp\fR\-th power modulo \fIm\fR
(\f(CW\*(C`rr=a^p % m\*(C'\fR) using Montgomery multiplication. It is a variant of
\&\fBBN_mod_exp_mont\fR\|(3) that uses fixed windows and the special precomputation
memory layout to limit data-dependency to a minimum to protect secret exponents.
It is called automatically when \fBBN_mod_exp_mont\fR\|(3) is called with parameters
\&\fIa\fR, \fIp\fR, \fIm\fR, any of which have \fBBN_FLG_CONSTTIME\fR flag.
.PP
\&\fBBN_mod_exp_mont_consttime_x2()\fR computes two independent exponentiations \fIa1\fR to
the \fIp1\fR\-th power modulo \fIm1\fR (\f(CW\*(C`rr1=a1^p1 % m1\*(C'\fR) and \fIa2\fR to the \fIp2\fR\-th
power modulo \fIm2\fR (\f(CW\*(C`rr2=a2^p2 % m2\*(C'\fR) using Montgomery multiplication. For some
fixed and equal modulus sizes \fIm1\fR and \fIm2\fR it uses optimizations that allow
to speedup two exponentiations. In all other cases the function reduces to two
calls of \fBBN_mod_exp_mont_consttime\fR\|(3).

For all functions 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
