- I am working with encryption algorythms which involve
- manipulating large primes (300 digits +). I am looking for a set
- of math routines that will deal with them.
-
- Addition, subtraction and multiplication are easy, division is
- messy but do-able, but exponentation is a real drag!
-
- I have heard the IBM have a mathlib (for use with BCD) that might
- be useful, but I cant find it. Any suggestions or algorithms
- would be appreciated.
