MontInit

Initializes the context and partitions the specified buffer space.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsMontInit(IppsExpMethod method, int length, IppsMontState *pCtx);

Include Files

ippcp.h

Parameters

method

Selected exponential method.

length

Data field length for the modulus in Ipp32u chunks.

pCtx

Pointer to the context IppsMontState.

Description

The function initializes the *pCtx buffer as the IppsMontState context. The function then partitions the buffer using the selected modular exponential method in such a way as to carry up to length*sizeof(Ipp32u)-bit big number modulus and execute various Montgomery modulus operations.

Note

For security reasons, the length of the modulus is restricted to 16 kilobits.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.

ippStsNullPtrErr

Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL.

ippStsLengthErr

Indicates an error condition if length is less than or equal to 0 or greater than 512.
