rough draft.

New page

OpenSSL includes an implementation of multiprecision arithmetic,
used for dealing with the large numbers used in public-key cryptography and a few other cryptographic algorithms.

[http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/bn.html "bn(3) overview"]

[http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/bn_internal.html "bn_internal(3)"],
BIGNUM library internal functions "to facilitate debugging and extending the library.
They are not to be used by applications."

Other popular [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic multiprecision libraries and tools] that perhaps might be useful for testing OpenSSL's multiprecision implementation include:
[http://gmplib.org/ GMP],
the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bc_(programming_language) bc programming language],
etc.
