BigInt
========================================

``BigInt`` is Botan's implementation of a multiple-precision integer. Thanks to
C++'s operator overloading features, using ``BigInt`` is often quite similar to
using a native integer type. The number of functions related to ``BigInt`` is
quite large, and not all of them are documented here. You can find the complete
declarations in ``botan/bigint.h`` and ``botan/numthry.h``.

   .. cpp:function:: uint32_t to_u32bit() const

      Return value of ``*this`` as a 32-bit integer, if possible.

      bytes are output. If ``len`` is greater than ``bytes()`` then
      the output is padded with leading zeros.

Number Theory
----------------------------------------

Number theoretic functions available include:

.. cpp:function:: BigInt gcd(BigInt x, BigInt y)

  Returns the greatest common divisor of x and y

.. cpp:function:: BigInt lcm(BigInt x, BigInt y)

  Returns an integer z which is the smallest integer such that z % x
  == 0 and z % y == 0

.. cpp:function:: BigInt jacobi(BigInt a, BigInt n)

  Return Jacobi symbol of (a|n).

.. cpp:function:: BigInt inverse_mod(BigInt x, BigInt m)

  Returns the modular inverse of x modulo m, that is, an integer
  y such that (x*y) % m == 1. If no such y exists, returns zero.

.. cpp:function:: BigInt power_mod(BigInt b, BigInt x, BigInt m)

  Returns b to the xth power modulo m. If you are doing many
  exponentiations with a single fixed modulus, it is faster to use a
  ``Power_Mod`` implementation.

.. cpp:function:: BigInt ressol(BigInt x, BigInt p)

  Returns the square root modulo a prime, that is, returns a number y
  such that (y*y) % p == x. Returns -1 if no such integer exists.

.. cpp:function:: bool is_prime(BigInt n, RandomNumberGenerator& rng, \
                                size_t prob = 56, double is_random = false)

  Test *n* for primality using a probabilistic algorithm (Miller-Rabin).  With
  this algorithm, there is some non-zero probability that true will be returned
  even if *n* is actually composite. Modifying *prob* allows you to decrease the
  chance of such a false positive, at the cost of increased runtime. Sufficient
  tests will be run such that the chance *n* is composite is no more than 1 in
  2\ :sup:`prob`. Set *is_random* to true if (and only if) *n* was randomly
  chosen (ie, there is no danger it was chosen maliciously) as far fewer tests
  are needed in that case.

.. cpp:function:: BigInt random_prime(RandomNumberGenerator& rng, \
                                      size_t bits, \
                                      BigInt coprime = 1, \
                                      size_t equiv = 1, \
                                      size_t equiv_mod = 2)

  Return a random prime number of ``bits`` bits long that is
  relatively prime to ``coprime``, and equivalent to ``equiv`` modulo
  ``equiv_mod``.
