rcpow - REDC powers
SYNOPSIS
rcpow(x, k, m)
TYPES
x integer
k nonnegative integer
m odd positive integer
return integer v, 0 <= v < m.
DESCRIPTION
Let B be the base calc uses for representing integers internally
(B = 2^16 for 32-bit machines, 2^32 for 64-bit machines) and N the
number of words (base-B digits) in the representation of m. Then
rcpow(x,k,m) returns the value of B^-N * (B^N * x)^k % m, w here
the inverse implicit in B^-N is modulo m and the modulus operator %
gives the least nonnegative residue. Note that rcpow(x,0,m) =
rcin(1,m), rcpow(x,1,m) = x % m; rcpow(x,2,m) = rcsq(x,m).
The normal use of rcpow() may be said to be that of finding the
encoded value of the k-th power of an integer modulo m:
rcin(x^k, m) = rcpow(rcin(x,m), k, m),
from which one gets:
x^k % m = rcout(rcpow(rcin(x,m), k, m), m).
If x^k % m is to be evaluated for the same k and m and several
values of x, it may be worth while to first evaluate:
a = minv(rcpow(1, k, m), m);
and use:
x^k % m = a * rcpow(x, k, m) % m.
RUNTIME
If the value of m in rcpow(x,k,m) is being used for the first time
in a REDC function, the information required for the REDC
algorithms is calculated and stored for future use, possibly
replacing an already stored valued, in a table covering up to 5
(i.e. MAXREDC) values of m. The runtime required for this is about
two times that required for multiplying two N-word integers.
Two algorithms are available for evaluating rcpow(x,k,m), the one
which is usually faster for small N is used when N <
config("redc2"); the other is usually faster for larger N. If
config("redc2") is set at about 90 and 0 <= x < m, the runtime
required for rcpow(x,k,m) is at most about f times the runtime
required for ilog2(k) N-word by N-word multiplications, where f
increases from about 1.3 for N = 1 to near 4 for N > 90. More
runtime may be required if x has to be reduced modulo m.
EXAMPLE
Using a 64-bit machine with B = 2^32:
; m = 1234567;
; x = 15;
; print rcout(rcpow((rcin(x,m), m - 1, m), m), pmod(x, m-1, m)
