static protected Engine slidingWindow(Engine $x, Engine $e, Engine $n, string $class)

Sliding Window k-ary Modular Exponentiation

Based on {@link http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/about/chap14.pdf#page=27 HAC 14.85} / {@link http://math.libtomcrypt.com/files/tommath.pdf#page=210 MPM 7.7}. In a departure from those algorithims, however, this function performs a modular reduction after every multiplication and squaring operation. As such, this function has the same preconditions that the reductions being used do.

Parameters

Engine $x
Engine $e
Engine $n
string $class

Return Value

Engine

static Engine random(int $size)

Generates a random number of a certain size

Bit length is equal to $size

Parameters

int $size

Return Value

Engine

static Engine randomPrime(int $size)

Generates a random prime number of a certain size

Bit length is equal to $size

Parameters

int $size

Return Value

Engine

static protected bool|Engine randomRangePrimeOuter(Engine $min, Engine $max)

Performs some pre-processing for randomRangePrime

Parameters

Engine $min
Engine $max

Return Value

bool|Engine

static protected Engine randomRangeHelper(Engine $min, Engine $max)

Returns a random number between $min and $max where $min and $max can be defined using one of the two methods:

BigInteger::randomRange($min, $max) BigInteger::randomRange($max, $min)

Parameters

Engine $min
Engine $max

Return Value

Engine

static protected bool|Engine randomRangePrimeInner(Engine $x, Engine $min, Engine $max)

protected int setupIsPrime()

Sets the $t parameter for primality testing

Return Value

int

protected bool testPrimality(int $t)

Tests Primality

Uses the {@link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Rabin_primality_test Miller-Rabin primality test}. See {@link http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/about/chap4.pdf#page=8 HAC 4.24} for more info.

Parameters

int $t

Return Value

bool

bool isPrime(int|bool $t = false)

Checks a numer to see if it's prime

Assuming the $t parameter is not set, this function has an error rate of 2**-80. The main motivation for the $t parameter is distributability. BigInteger::randomPrime() can be distributed across multiple pageloads on a website instead of just one.

Parameters

int|bool $t

Return Value

bool

Parameters

BCMath $x

Return Value

BCMath

BCMath divide(BCMath $y)

Divides two BigIntegers.

Returns an array whose first element contains the quotient and whose second element contains the "common residue". If the remainder would be positive, the "common residue" and the remainder are the same. If the remainder would be negative, the "common residue" is equal to the sum of the remainder and the divisor (basically, the "common residue" is the first positive modulo).

Parameters

BCMath $y

Return Value

BCMath

false|BCMath modInverse(BCMath $n)

Calculates modular inverses.

Say you have (30 mod 17 * x mod 17) mod 17 == 1. x can be found using modular inverses.

Parameters

BCMath $n

Return Value

false|BCMath

BCMath extendedGCD(BCMath $n)

Calculates the greatest common divisor and Bezout's identity.

Say you have 693 and 609. The GCD is 21. Bezout's identity states that there exist integers x and y such that 693x + 609y == 21. In point of fact, there are actually an infinite number of x and y combinations and which combination is returned is dependent upon which mode is in use. See {@link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zout%27s_identity Bezout's identity - Wikipedia} for more information.

Parameters

BCMath $n

Return Value

BCMath

Logical Left Shift

Shifts BigInteger's by $shift bits, effectively multiplying by 2**$shift.

Parameters

int $shift

Return Value

BCMath

int compare(BCMath $y)

Compares two numbers.

Although one might think !$x->compare($y) means $x != $y, it, in fact, means the opposite. The reason for this is demonstrated thusly:

$x > $y: $x->compare($y) > 0 $x < $y: $x->compare($y) < 0 $x == $y: $x->compare($y) == 0

Note how the same comparison operator is used. If you want to test for equality, use $x->equals($y).

{@internal Could return $this->subtract($x), but that's not as fast as what we do do.}

Parameters

BCMath $y

Return Value

int in case < 0 if $this is less than $y; > 0 if $this is greater than $y, and 0 if they are equal.
