DESCRIPTION

BN_BLINDING_new() allocates a new BN_BLINDING structure and copies the A and Ai values into the newly created BN_BLINDING object. BN_BLINDING_free() frees the BN_BLINDING structure. If b is a NULL pointer, no action occurs. BN_BLINDING_update() updates the BN_BLINDING parameters by squaring the A and Ai or, after a specific number of uses and if the necessary parameters are set, by re-creating the blinding parameters. BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() multiplies n with the blinding factor A. If r is not NULL, a copy of the inverse blinding factor Ai will be returned in r (this is useful if an RSA object is shared among several threads). BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() multiplies n with the inverse blinding factor Ai. If r is not NULL, it will be used as the inverse blinding. BN_BLINDING_convert() and BN_BLINDING_invert() are wrapper functions for BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() and BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() with r set to NULL. BN_BLINDING_thread_id() provides access to the CRYPTO_THREADID object within the BN_BLINDING structure. This is to help users provide proper locking if needed for multi-threaded use. The thread ID object of a newly allocated BN_BLINDING structure is initialised to the thread ID in which BN_BLINDING_new() was called. BN_BLINDING_get_flags() returns the BN_BLINDING_* flags. Currently there are two supported flags: BN_BLINDING_NO_UPDATE and BN_BLINDING_NO_RECREATE. BN_BLINDING_NO_UPDATE inhibits the automatic update of the BN_BLINDING parameters after each use and BN_BLINDING_NO_RECREATE inhibits the automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after a fixed number of uses (currently 32). In newly allocated BN_BLINDING objects no flags are set. BN_BLINDING_set_flags() sets the BN_BLINDING_* parameters flags. BN_BLINDING_create_param() creates new BN_BLINDING parameters using the exponent e and the modulus m. bn_mod_exp and m_ctx can be used to pass special functions for exponentiation (normally BN_mod_exp(3) and BN_MONT_CTX).

RETURN VALUES

BN_BLINDING_new() returns the newly allocated BN_BLINDING structure or NULL in case of an error. BN_BLINDING_update(), BN_BLINDING_convert(), BN_BLINDING_invert(), BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() and BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() return 1 on success and 0 if an error occurred. BN_BLINDING_thread_id() returns a pointer to the thread ID object within a BN_BLINDING object. BN_BLINDING_get_flags() returns the currently set BN_BLINDING_* flags (an unsigned long value). BN_BLINDING_create_param() returns the newly created BN_BLINDING parameters or NULL on error.
