GFPMontEncode

Converts an element of the GF(p) field to a Montgomery residue number system.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsGFPMontEncode(const IppsGFPElement *pGFpElementA, IppsGFPElement *pGFpElementR, IppsGFPState *pGFp);

Parameters

pGFpElementA	Pointer to the context of the given element of the GF(`p`) field.
pGFpElementR	Pointer to the context of the resulting element of the GF(`p`) field.
pGFp	Pointer to the context of the GF(`p`) field.

Description

This function is declared in the ippcp.h file. The function converts the given element of the GF(p) field to the Montgomery residue number system. The following pseudocode represents this operation: R = MontMul(A, M²), where M > p and gcd(M,p) = 1 (here MontMul denotes the Montgomery multiplication and gcd denotes the greatest common divisor).

Return Values

ippStsNoErr	Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.
ippStsNullPtrErr	Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL.
ippContextMatchErr	Indicates an error condition if any of the IppsGFPState or IppsGFPElement context parameters does not match the operation.
