/* LibTomMath, multiple-precision integer library -- Tom St Denis
 *
 * LibTomMath is a library that provides multiple-precision
 * integer arithmetic as well as number theoretic functionality.
 *
 * The library was designed directly after the MPI library by
 * Michael Fromberger but has been written from scratch with
 * additional optimizations in place.
 *
 * The library is free for all purposes without any express
 * guarantee it works.

/* calculates a = B^n mod b for Montgomery reduction
 * Where B is the base [e.g. 2^DIGIT_BIT].
 * B^n mod b is computed by first computing
 * A = B^(n-1) which doesn't require a reduction but a simple OR.
 * then C = A * B = B^n is computed by performing upto DIGIT_BIT
 * shifts with subtractions when the result is greater than b.
 *
 * The method is slightly modified to shift B unconditionally upto just under
 * the leading bit of b.  This saves alot of multiple precision shifting.
