=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/bn.h>

 int BN_mod_exp_mont(BIGNUM *rr, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *p,
                     const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx, BN_MONT_CTX *in_mont);

 int BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime(BIGNUM *rr, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *p,
                               const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx,
                               BN_MONT_CTX *in_mont);

 int BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime_x2(BIGNUM *rr1, const BIGNUM *a1,
                                  const BIGNUM *p1, const BIGNUM *m1,
                                  BN_MONT_CTX *in_mont1, BIGNUM *rr2,
                                  const BIGNUM *a2, const BIGNUM *p2,
                                  const BIGNUM *m2, BN_MONT_CTX *in_mont2,
                                  BN_CTX *ctx);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

BN_mod_exp_mont() computes I<a> to the I<p>-th power modulo I<m> (C<rr=a^p % m>)
using Montgomery multiplication. I<in_mont> is a Montgomery context and can be
NULL. In the case I<in_mont> is NULL, it will be initialized within the
function, so you can save time on initialization if you provide it in advance.

BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() computes I<a> to the I<p>-th power modulo I<m>
(C<rr=a^p % m>) using Montgomery multiplication. It is a variant of
L<BN_mod_exp_mont(3)> that uses fixed windows and the special precomputation
memory layout to limit data-dependency to a minimum to protect secret exponents.
It is called automatically when L<BN_mod_exp_mont(3)> is called with parameters
I<a>, I<p>, I<m>, any of which have B<BN_FLG_CONSTTIME> flag.

BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime_x2() computes two independent exponentiations I<a1> to
the I<p1>-th power modulo I<m1> (C<rr1=a1^p1 % m1>) and I<a2> to the I<p2>-th
power modulo I<m2> (C<rr2=a2^p2 % m2>) using Montgomery multiplication. For some
fixed and equal modulus sizes I<m1> and I<m2> it uses optimizations that allow
to speedup two exponentiations. In all other cases the function reduces to two
calls of L<BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

For all functions 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
