Functions Documentation

function wolfSSL_BN_mod_exp

int wolfSSL_BN_mod_exp(
    WOLFSSL_BIGNUM * r,
    const WOLFSSL_BIGNUM * a,
    const WOLFSSL_BIGNUM * p,
    const WOLFSSL_BIGNUM * m,
    WOLFSSL_BN_CTX * ctx
)

This function performs the following math “r = (a^p) % m”.

Parameters:

  • r structure to hold result.
  • a value to be raised by a power.
  • p power to raise a by.
  • m modulus to use.
  • ctx currently not used with wolfSSL can be NULL.

See:

  • wolfSSL_BN_new
  • wolfSSL_BN_free

Return:

  • SSL_SUCCESS On successfully performing math operation.
  • SSL_FAILURE If an error case was encountered.

Example

WOLFSSL_BIGNUM r,a,p,m;
int ret;
// set big number values
ret  = wolfSSL_BN_mod_exp(r, a, p, m, NULL);
// check ret value
