mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() function

Swap the contents of two MPIs.

Perform a safe conditional swap which doesn't reveal whether the condition was true or not.

Modify a specific bit in an MPI.

Export an MPI to an ASCII string.

Perform a sliding-window exponentiation: X = A^E mod N

This function performs multiplication and addition of two points by integers: \p R = \p m * \p P + \p n * \p Q It is not thread-safe to use same group in multiple threads.

Miller-Rabin primality test. \warning If \p X is potentially generated by an adversary, for example when validating cryptographic parameters that you didn't generate yourself and that are supposed to be prime, then \p rounds should be at least the half of the security strength of the cryptographic algorithm. On the other hand, if \p X is chosen uniformly or non-adversially (as is the case when mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime calls this function), then \p rounds can be much lower.

Print a MPI variable to the debug output. This function is always used through the MBEDTLS_SSL_DEBUG_MPI() macro, which supplies the ssl context, file and line number parameters. \attention This function is intended for INTERNAL usage within the library only.

This function imports a set of core parameters into an RSA context. Any sequence of calls to this function should be followed by a call to mbedtls_rsa_complete(), which checks and completes the provided information to a ready-for-use public or private RSA key.

This function exports the core parameters of an RSA key. If this function runs successfully, the non-NULL buffers pointed to by \p N, \p P, \p Q, \p D, and \p E are fully written, with additional unused space filled leading by zero Bytes. Possible reasons for returning #MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED: An alternative RSA implementation is in use, which stores the key externally, and either cannot or should not export it into RAM. A SW or HW implementation might not support a certain deduction. For example, \p P, \p Q from \p N, \p D, and \p E if the former are not part of the implementation. If the function fails due to an unsupported operation, the RSA context stays intact and remains usable.

This function exports CRT parameters of a private RSA key.
