Detailed Description

An X25519 unsigned 257-bit integer.

This is an unsigned integer N in the finite field of integers modulo the prime p=2^255-19.

In this representation, N is encoded as any big integer that is in the same congruence class as N (i.e that has the same value as N modulo p) and that lies within the 257-bit range [0,4p-1].

This type can be used as an input for addition, subtraction, or multiplication.

Multiplication will produce an output of this type.

oct258

const union x25519_oct258 x25519_quad257::oct258

X25519 unsigned 258-bit integer.

Any value in the range [0,4p-1] is automatically also within the range [0,8p-1] and so may be consumed as an unsigned 258-bit integer.
