DESCRIPTION
The Big Number library is part of libcrypto. It performs arithmetic operations on integers of
arbitrary size. It was written for use in public key cryptography, such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman.
It uses dynamic memory allocation for storing its data structures. That means that there is no limit
on the size of the numbers manipulated by these functions, but return values must always be checked
in case a memory allocation error has occurred.
The basic object in this library is a BIGNUM. It is used to hold a single large integer. This type
should be considered opaque and fields should not be modified or accessed directly.
The creation of BIGNUM objects is described in BN_new(3); BN_add(3) describes most of the arithmetic
operations. Comparison is described in BN_cmp(3); BN_zero(3) describes certain assignments,
BN_rand(3) the generation of random numbers, BN_generate_prime(3) deals with prime numbers and
BN_set_bit(3) with bit operations. The conversion of BIGNUMs to external formats is described in
BN_bn2bin(3).
