Fixed. 18 -- [rinick@gmail.com] reported the makefile.bcc was messed up. Fixed. 19 -- [Kevin Kenny] reported some issues with mp_toradix_n(). Now it doesn't require a min of 3 chars of output. 20 -- Made the make command renamable. Wee 21 22August 1st, 2005 23v0.36 -- LTM_PRIME_2MSB_ON was fixed and the "OFF" flag was removed. 24 -- [Peter LaDow] found a typo in the XREALLOC macro 25 -- [Peter LaDow] pointed out that mp_read_(un)signed_bin should have "const" on the input 26 -- Ported LTC patch to fix the prime_random_ex() function to get the bitsize correct [and the maskOR flags] 27 -- Kevin Kenny pointed out a stray // 28 -- David Hulton pointed out a typo in the textbook [mp_montgomery_setup() pseudo-code] 29 -- Neal Hamilton (Elliptic Semiconductor) pointed out that my Karatsuba notation was backwards and that I could use 30 unsigned operations in the routine. 31 -- Paul Schmidt pointed out a linking error in mp_exptmod() when BN_S_MP_EXPTMOD_C is undefined (and another for read_radix) 32 -- Updated makefiles to be way more flexible 33 34March 12th, 2005 35v0.35 -- Stupid XOR function missing line again... oops. 36 -- Fixed bug in invmod not handling negative inputs correctly [Wolfgang Ehrhardt] 37 -- Made exteuclid always give positive u3 output...[ Wolfgang Ehrhardt ] 38 -- [Wolfgang Ehrhardt] Suggested a fix for mp_reduce() which avoided underruns. ;-) 39 -- mp_rand() would emit one too many digits and it was possible to get a 0 out of it ... oops 40 -- Added montgomery to the testing to make sure it handles 1..10 digit moduli correctly 41 -- Fixed bug in comba that would lead to possible erroneous outputs when "pa < digs" 42 -- Fixed bug in mp_toradix_size for "0" [Kevin Kenny] 43 -- Updated chapters 1-5 of the textbook ;-) It now talks about the new comba code! 44 45February 12th, 2005 46v0.34 -- Fixed two more small errors in mp_prime_random_ex() 47 -- Fixed overflow in mp_mul_d() [Kevin Kenny] 48 -- Added mp_to_(un)signed_bin_n() functions which do bounds checking for ya [and report the size] 49 -- Added "large" diminished radix support. Speeds up things like DSA where the moduli is of the form 2^k - P for some P < 2^(k/2) or so 50 Actually is faster than Montgomery on my AMD64 (and probably much faster on a P4) 51 -- Updated the manual a bit 52 -- Ok so I haven't done the textbook work yet... My current freelance gig has landed me in France till the 53 end of Feb/05. Once I get back I'll have tons of free time and I plan to go to town on the book. 54 As of this release the API will freeze. At least until the book catches up with all the changes. I welcome 55 bug reports but new algorithms will have to wait. 56 57December 23rd, 2004 58v0.33 -- Fixed "small" variant for mp_div() which would munge with negative dividends... 59 -- Fixed bug in mp_prime_random_ex() which would set the most significant byte to zero when 60 no special flags were set 61 -- Fixed overflow [minor] bug in fast_s_mp_sqr() 62 -- Made the makefiles easier to configure the group/user that ltm will install as 63 -- Fixed "final carry" bug in comba multipliers. (Volkan Ceylan) 64 -- Matt Johnston pointed out a missing semi-colon in mp_exptmod 65 66October 29th, 2004 67v0.32 -- Added "makefile.shared" for shared object support 68 -- Added more to the build options/configs in the manual 69 -- Started the Depends framework, wrote dep.pl to scan deps and 70 produce "callgraph.txt" ;-) 71 -- Wrote SC_RSA_1 which will enable close to the minimum required to perform 72 RSA on 32-bit [or 64-bit] platforms with LibTomCrypt 73 -- Merged in the small/slower mp_div replacement. You can now toggle which 74 you want to use as your mp_div() at build time. Saves roughly 8KB or so. 75 -- Renamed a few files and changed some comments to make depends system work better. 76 (No changes to function names) 77 -- Merged in new Combas that perform 2 reads per inner loop instead of the older 78 3reads/2writes per inner loop of the old code. Really though if you want speed 79 learn to use TomsFastMath ;-) 80 81August 9th, 2004 82v0.31 -- "profiled" builds now :-) new timings for Intel Northwoods 83 -- Added "pretty" build target 84 -- Update mp_init() to actually assign 0's instead of relying on calloc() 85 -- "Wolfgang Ehrhardt" <Wolfgang.Ehrhardt@munich.netsurf.de> found a bug in mp_mul() where if 86 you multiply a negative by zero you get negative zero as the result. Oops. 87 -- J Harper from PeerSec let me toy with his AMD64 and I got 60-bit digits working properly 88 [this also means that I fixed a bug where if sizeof(int) < sizeof(mp_digit) it would bug] 89 90April 11th, 2004 91v0.30 -- Added "mp_toradix_n" which stores upto "n-1" least significant digits of an mp_int 92 -- Johan Lindh sent a patch so MSVC wouldn't whine about redefining malloc [in weird dll modes] 93 -- Henrik Goldman spotted a missing OPT_CAST in mp_fwrite() 94 -- Tuned tommath.h so that when MP_LOW_MEM is defined MP_PREC shall be reduced. 95 [I also allow MP_PREC to be externally defined now] 96 -- Sped up mp_cnt_lsb() by using a 4x4 table [e.g. 4x speedup] 97 -- Added mp_prime_random_ex() which is a more versatile prime generator accurate to 98 exact bit lengths (unlike the deprecated but still available mp_prime_random() which 99 is only accurate to byte lengths). See the new LTM_PRIME_* flags ;-) 100 -- Alex Polushin contributed an optimized mp_sqrt() as well as mp_get_int() and mp_is_square(). 101 I've cleaned them all up to be a little more consistent [along with one bug fix] for this release. 102 -- Added mp_init_set and mp_init_set_int to initialize and set small constants with one function 103 call. 104 -- Removed /etclib directory [um LibTomPoly deprecates this]. 105 -- Fixed mp_mod() so the sign of the result agrees with the sign of the modulus. 106 ++ N.B. My semester is almost up so expect updates to the textbook to be posted to the libtomcrypt.org 107 website. 108 109Jan 25th, 2004 110v0.29 ++ Note: "Henrik" from the v0.28 changelog refers to Henrik Goldman ;-) 111 -- Added fix to mp_shrink to prevent a realloc when used == 0 [e.g. realloc zero bytes???] 112 -- Made the mp_prime_rabin_miller_trials() function internal table smaller and also 113 set the minimum number of tests to two (sounds a bit safer). 114 -- Added a mp_exteuclid() which computes the extended euclidean algorithm. 115 -- Fixed a memory leak in s_mp_exptmod() [called when Barrett reduction is to be used] which would arise 116 if a multiplication or subsequent reduction failed [would not free the temp result]. 117 -- Made an API change to mp_radix_size(). It now returns an error code and stores the required size 118 through an "int star" passed to it. 119 120Dec 24th, 2003 121v0.28 -- Henrik Goldman suggested I add casts to the montomgery code [stores into mu...] so compilers wouldn't 122 spew [erroneous] diagnostics... fixed. 123 -- Henrik Goldman also spotted two typos. One in mp_radix_size() and another in mp_toradix(). 124 -- Added fix to mp_shrink() to avoid a memory leak. 125 -- Added mp_prime_random() which requires a callback to make truly random primes of a given nature 126 (idea from chat with Niels Ferguson at Crypto'03) 127 -- Picked up a second wind. I'm filled with Gooo. Mission Gooo! 128 -- Removed divisions from mp_reduce_is_2k() 129 -- Sped up mp_div_d() [general case] to use only one division per digit instead of two. 130 -- Added the heap macros from LTC to LTM. Now you can easily [by editing four lines of tommath.h] 131 change the name of the heap functions used in LTM [also compatible with LTC via MPI mode] 132 -- Added bn_prime_rabin_miller_trials() which gives the number of Rabin-Miller trials to achieve 133 a failure rate of less than 2^-96 134 -- fixed bug in fast_mp_invmod(). The initial testing logic was wrong. An invalid input is not when 135 "a" and "b" are even it's when "b" is even [the algo is for odd moduli only]. 136 -- Started a new manual [finally]. It is incomplete and will be finished as time goes on. I had to stop 137 adding full demos around half way in chapter three so I could at least get a good portion of the 138 manual done. If you really need help using the library you can always email me! 139 -- My Textbook is now included as part of the package [all Public Domain] 140 141Sept 19th, 2003 142v0.27 -- Removed changes.txt~ which was made by accident since "kate" decided it was 143 a good time to re-enable backups... [kde is fun!] 144 -- In mp_grow() "a->dp" is not overwritten by realloc call [re: memory leak] 145 Now if mp_grow() fails the mp_int is still valid and can be cleared via 146 mp_clear() to reclaim the memory. 147 -- Henrik Goldman found a buffer overflow bug in mp_add_d(). Fixed. 148 -- Cleaned up mp_mul_d() to be much easier to read and follow. 149 150Aug 29th, 2003 151v0.26 -- Fixed typo that caused warning with GCC 3.2 152 -- Martin Marcel noticed a bug in mp_neg() that allowed negative zeroes. 153 Also, Martin is the fellow who noted the bugs in mp_gcd() of 0.24/0.25. 154 -- Martin Marcel noticed an optimization [and slight bug] in mp_lcm(). 155 -- Added fix to mp_read_unsigned_bin to prevent a buffer overflow. 156 -- Beefed up the comments in the baseline multipliers [and montgomery] 157 -- Added "mont" demo to the makefile.msvc in etc/ 158 -- Optimized sign compares in mp_cmp from 4 to 2 cases. 159 160Aug 4th, 2003 161v0.25 -- Fix to mp_gcd again... oops (0,-a) == (-a, 0) == a 162 -- Fix to mp_clear which didn't reset the sign [Greg Rose] 163 -- Added mp_error_to_string() to convert return codes to strings. [Greg Rose] 164 -- Optimized fast_mp_invmod() to do the test for invalid inputs [both even] 165 first so temps don't have to be initialized if it's going to fail. 166 -- Optimized mp_gcd() by removing mp_div_2d calls for when one of the inputs 167 is odd. 168 -- Tons of new comments, some indentation fixups, etc. 169 -- mp_jacobi() returns MP_VAL if the modulus is less than or equal to zero. 170 -- fixed two typos in the header of each file :-) 171 -- LibTomMath is officially Public Domain [see LICENSE] 172 173July 15th, 2003 174v0.24 -- Optimized mp_add_d and mp_sub_d to not allocate temporary variables 175 -- Fixed mp_gcd() so the gcd of 0,0 is 0. Allows the gcd operation to be chained 176 e.g. (0,0,a) == a [instead of 1] 177 -- Should be one of the last release for a while. Working on LibTomMath book now. 178 -- optimized the pprime demo [/etc/pprime.c] to first make a huge table of single 179 digit primes then it reads them randomly instead of randomly choosing/testing single 180 digit primes. 181 182July 12th, 2003 183v0.23 -- Optimized mp_prime_next_prime() to not use mp_mod [via is_divisible()] in each 184 iteration. Instead now a smaller table is kept of the residues which can be updated 185 without division. 186 -- Fixed a bug in next_prime() where an input of zero would be treated as odd and 187 have two added to it [to move to the next odd]. 188 -- fixed a bug in prime_fermat() and prime_miller_rabin() which allowed the base 189 to be negative, zero or one. Normally the test is only valid if the base is 190 greater than one. 191 -- changed the next_prime() prototype to accept a new parameter "bbs_style" which 192 will find the next prime congruent to 3 mod 4. The default [bbs_style==0] will 193 make primes which are either congruent to 1 or 3 mod 4. 194 -- fixed mp_read_unsigned_bin() so that it doesn't include both code for 195 the case DIGIT_BIT < 8 and >= 8 196 -- optimized div_d() to easy out on division by 1 [or if a == 0] and use 197 logical shifts if the divisor is a power of two. 198 -- the default DIGIT_BIT type was not int for non-default builds. Fixed. 199 200July 2nd, 2003 201v0.22 -- Fixed up mp_invmod so the result is properly in range now [was always congruent to the inverse...] 202 -- Fixed up s_mp_exptmod and mp_exptmod_fast so the lower half of the pre-computed table isn't allocated 203 which makes the algorithm use half as much ram. 204 -- Fixed the install script not to make the book :-) [which isn't included anyways] 205 -- added mp_cnt_lsb() which counts how many of the lsbs are zero 206 -- optimized mp_gcd() to use the new mp_cnt_lsb() to replace multiple divisions by two by a single division. 207 -- applied similar optimization to mp_prime_miller_rabin(). 208 -- Fixed a bug in both mp_invmod() and fast_mp_invmod() which tested for odd 209 via "mp_iseven() == 0" which is not valid [since zero is not even either]. 210 211June 19th, 2003 212v0.21 -- Fixed bug in mp_mul_d which would not handle sign correctly [would not always forward it] 213 -- Removed the #line lines from gen.pl [was in violation of ISO C] 214 215June 8th, 2003 216v0.20 -- Removed the book from the package. Added the TDCAL license document. 217 -- This release is officially pure-bred TDCAL again [last officially TDCAL based release was v0.16] 218 219June 6th, 2003 220v0.19 -- Fixed a bug in mp_montgomery_reduce() which was introduced when I tweaked mp_rshd() in the previous release. 221 Essentially the digits were not trimmed before the compare which cause a subtraction to occur all the time. 222 -- Fixed up etc/tune.c a bit to stop testing new cutoffs after 16 failures [to find more optimal points]. 223 Brute force ho! 224 225 226May 29th, 2003 227v0.18 -- Fixed a bug in s_mp_sqr which would handle carries properly just not very elegantly. 228 (e.g. correct result, just bad looking code) 229 -- Fixed bug in mp_sqr which still had a 512 constant instead of MP_WARRAY 230 -- Added Toom-Cook multipliers [needs tuning!] 231 -- Added efficient divide by 3 algorithm mp_div_3 232 -- Re-wrote mp_div_d to be faster than calling mp_div 233 -- Added in a donated BCC makefile and a single page LTM poster (ahalhabsi@sbcglobal.net) 234 -- Added mp_reduce_2k which reduces an input modulo n = 2**p - k for any single digit k 235 -- Made the exptmod system be aware of the 2k reduction algorithms. 236 -- Rewrote mp_dr_reduce to be smaller, simpler and easier to understand. 237 238May 17th, 2003 239v0.17 -- Benjamin Goldberg submitted optimized mp_add and mp_sub routines. A new gen.pl as well 240 as several smaller suggestions. Thanks! 241 -- removed call to mp_cmp in inner loop of mp_div and put mp_cmp_mag in its place :-) 242 -- Fixed bug in mp_exptmod that would cause it to fail for odd moduli when DIGIT_BIT != 28 243 -- mp_exptmod now also returns errors if the modulus is negative and will handle negative exponents 244 -- mp_prime_is_prime will now return true if the input is one of the primes in the prime table 245 -- Damian M Gryski (dgryski@uwaterloo.ca) found a index out of bounds error in the 246 mp_fast_s_mp_mul_high_digs function which didn't come up before. (fixed) 247 -- Refactored the DR reduction code so there is only one function per file. 248 -- Fixed bug in the mp_mul() which would erroneously avoid the faster multiplier [comba] when it was 249 allowed. The bug would not cause the incorrect value to be produced just less efficient (fixed) 250 -- Fixed similar bug in the Montgomery reduction code. 251 -- Added tons of (mp_digit) casts so the 7/15/28/31 bit digit code will work flawlessly out of the box. 252 Also added limited support for 64-bit machines with a 60-bit digit. Both thanks to Tom Wu (tom@arcot.com) 253 -- Added new comments here and there, cleaned up some code [style stuff] 254 -- Fixed a lingering typo in mp_exptmod* that would set bitcnt to zero then one. Very silly stuff :-) 255 -- Fixed up mp_exptmod_fast so it would set "redux" to the comba Montgomery reduction if allowed. This 256 saves quite a few calls and if statements. 257 -- Added etc/mont.c a test of the Montgomery reduction [assuming all else works :-| ] 258 -- Fixed up etc/tune.c to use a wider test range [more appropriate] also added a x86 based addition which 259 uses RDTSC for high precision timing. 260 -- Updated demo/demo.c to remove MPI stuff [won't work anyways], made the tests run for 2 seconds each so its 261 not so insanely slow. Also made the output space delimited [and fixed up various errors] 262 -- Added logs directory, logs/graph.dem which will use gnuplot to make a series of PNG files 263 that go with the pre-made index.html. You have to build [via make timing] and run ltmtest first in the 264 root of the package. 265 -- Fixed a bug in mp_sub and mp_add where "-a - -a" or "-a + a" would produce -0 as the result [obviously invalid]. 266 -- Fixed a bug in mp_rshd. If the count == a.used it should zero/return [instead of shifting] 267 -- Fixed a "off-by-one" bug in mp_mul2d. The initial size check on alloc would be off by one if the residue 268 shifting caused a carry. 269 -- Fixed a bug where s_mp_mul_digs() would not call the Comba based routine if allowed. This made Barrett reduction 270 slower than it had to be. 271 272Mar 29th, 2003 273v0.16 -- Sped up mp_div by making normalization one shift call 274 -- Sped up mp_mul_2d/mp_div_2d by aliasing pointers :-) 275 -- Cleaned up mp_gcd to use the macros for odd/even detection 276 -- Added comments here and there, mostly there but occasionally here too. 277 278Mar 22nd, 2003 279v0.15 -- Added series of prime testing routines to lib 280 -- Fixed up etc/tune.c 281 -- Added DR reduction algorithm 282 -- Beefed up the manual more. 283 -- Fixed up demo/demo.c so it doesn't have so many warnings and it does the full series of 284 tests 285 -- Added "pre-gen" directory which will hold a "gen.pl"'ed copy of the entire lib [done at 286 zipup time so its always the latest] 287 -- Added conditional casts for C++ users [boo!] 288 289Mar 15th, 2003 290v0.14 -- Tons of manual updates 291 -- cleaned up the directory 292 -- added MSVC makefiles 293 -- source changes [that I don't recall] 294 -- Fixed up the lshd/rshd code to use pointer aliasing 295 -- Fixed up the mul_2d and div_2d to not call rshd/lshd unless needed 296 -- Fixed up etc/tune.c a tad 297 -- fixed up demo/demo.c to output comma-delimited results of timing 298 also fixed up timing demo to use a finer granularity for various functions 299 -- fixed up demo/demo.c testing to pause during testing so my Duron won't catch on fire 300 [stays around 31-35C during testing :-)] 301 302Feb 13th, 2003 303v0.13 -- tons of minor speed-ups in low level add, sub, mul_2 and div_2 which propagate 304 to other functions like mp_invmod, mp_div, etc... 305 -- Sped up mp_exptmod_fast by using new code to find R mod m [e.g. B^n mod m] 306 -- minor fixes 307 308Jan 17th, 2003 309v0.12 -- re-wrote the majority of the makefile so its more portable and will 310 install via "make install" on most *nix platforms 311 -- Re-packaged all the source as seperate files. Means the library a single 312 file packagage any more. Instead of just adding "bn.c" you have to add 313 libtommath.a 314 -- Renamed "bn.h" to "tommath.h" 315 -- Changes to the manual to reflect all of this 316 -- Used GNU Indent to clean up the source 317 318Jan 15th, 2003 319v0.11 -- More subtle fixes 320 -- Moved to gentoo linux [hurrah!] so made *nix specific fixes to the make process 321 -- Sped up the montgomery reduction code quite a bit 322 -- fixed up demo so when building timing for the x86 it assumes ELF format now 323 324Jan 9th, 2003 325v0.10 -- Pekka Riikonen suggested fixes to the radix conversion code. 326 -- Added baseline montgomery and comba montgomery reductions, sped up exptmods 327 [to a point, see bn.h for MONTGOMERY_EXPT_CUTOFF] 328 329Jan 6th, 2003 330v0.09 -- Updated the manual to reflect recent changes. :-) 331 -- Added Jacobi function (mp_jacobi) to supplement the number theory side of the lib 332 -- Added a Mersenne prime finder demo in ./etc/mersenne.c 333 334Jan 2nd, 2003 335v0.08 -- Sped up the multipliers by moving the inner loop variables into a smaller scope 336 -- Corrected a bunch of small "warnings" 337 -- Added more comments 338 -- Made "mtest" be able to use /dev/random, /dev/urandom or stdin for RNG data 339 -- Corrected some bugs where error messages were potentially ignored 340 -- add etc/pprime.c program which makes numbers which are provably prime. 341 342Jan 1st, 2003 343v0.07 -- Removed alot of heap operations from core functions to speed them up 344 -- Added a root finding function [and mp_sqrt macro like from MPI] 345 -- Added more to manual 346 347Dec 31st, 2002 348v0.06 -- Sped up the s_mp_add, s_mp_sub which inturn sped up mp_invmod, mp_exptmod, etc... 349 -- Cleaned up the header a bit more 350 351Dec 30th, 2002 352v0.05 -- Builds with MSVC out of the box 353 -- Fixed a bug in mp_invmod w.r.t. even moduli 354 -- Made mp_toradix and mp_read_radix use char instead of unsigned char arrays 355 -- Fixed up exptmod to use fewer multiplications 356 -- Fixed up mp_init_size to use only one heap operation 357 -- Note there is a slight "off-by-one" bug in the library somewhere 358 without the padding (see the source for comment) the library 359 crashes in libtomcrypt. Anyways a reasonable workaround is to pad the 360 numbers which will always correct it since as the numbers grow the padding 361 will still be beyond the end of the number 362 -- Added more to the manual 363 364Dec 29th, 2002 365v0.04 -- Fixed a memory leak in mp_to_unsigned_bin 366 -- optimized invmod code 367 -- Fixed bug in mp_div 368 -- use exchange instead of copy for results 369 -- added a bit more to the manual 370 371Dec 27th, 2002 372v0.03 -- Sped up s_mp_mul_high_digs by not computing the carries of the lower digits 373 -- Fixed a bug where mp_set_int wouldn't zero the value first and set the used member. 374 -- fixed a bug in s_mp_mul_high_digs where the limit placed on the result digits was not calculated properly 375 -- fixed bugs in add/sub/mul/sqr_mod functions where if the modulus and dest were the same it wouldn't work 376 -- fixed a bug in mp_mod and mp_mod_d concerning negative inputs 377 -- mp_mul_d didn't preserve sign 378 -- Many many many many fixes 379 -- Works in LibTomCrypt now :-) 380 -- Added iterations to the timing demos... more accurate. 381 -- Tom needs a job. 382 383Dec 26th, 2002 384v0.02 -- Fixed a few "slips" in the manual. This is "LibTomMath" afterall :-) 385 -- Added mp_cmp_mag, mp_neg, mp_abs and mp_radix_size that were missing. 386 -- Sped up the fast [comba] multipliers more [yahoo!] 387 388Dec 25th,2002 389v0.01 -- Initial release. Gimme a break. 390 -- Todo list, 391 add details to manual [e.g. algorithms] 392 more comments in code 393 example programs 394
