Description

LibTomMath is a free open source portable number theoretic multiple-precision integer library written entirely in C. The library is designed to provide a simple to work with API to fairly efficient routines from various branches of number theory: * Simple Algebraic - Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Squaring - Division * Digit Manipulation - Shift left/right whole digits (mult by 2b by moving digits) - Fast multiplication/division by 2 and 2k for k>1 - Binary AND, OR and XOR gates * Modular Reductions - Barrett Reduction (fast for any p) - Montgomery Reduction (faster for any odd p) - DR Reduction (faster for any restricted p see manual) - 2k Reduction (fast reduction modulo 2p - k for k < MP_MASK and for k > MP_MASK) - The exptmod logic can use any of the five reduction algorithms when appropriate with a single function call. * Number Theoretic - Greatest Common Divisor - Least Common Multiple - Jacobi Symbol Computation (falls back to Legendre for prime moduli) - Multiplicative Inverse - Extended Euclidean Algorithm - Modular Exponentiation - Fermat and Miller-Rabin Primality Tests, utility function such as is_prime and next_prime * Miscellaneous - Root finding over Z - Pseudo-random integers - Signed and Unsigned comparisons * Optimizations - Fast Comba based Multiplier, Squaring and Montgomery routines. - Montgomery, Diminished Radix and Barrett based modular exponentiation. - Karatsuba and Toom-Cook multiplication algorithms. - Many pointer aliasing optimiztions throughout the entire library.
