menu "BigInt Options"
depends on !CONFIG_SSL_SKELETON_MODE
choice
prompt "Reduction Algorithm"
default CONFIG_BIGINT_BARRETT
config CONFIG_BIGINT_CLASSICAL
bool "Classical"
help
Classical uses standard division. It has no limitations and is
theoretically the slowest due to the divisions used. For this particular
implementation it is surprisingly quite fast.
config CONFIG_BIGINT_MONTGOMERY
bool "Montgomery"
help
Montgomery uses simple addition and multiplication to achieve its
performance. It has the limitation that 0 <= x, y < m, and so is not
used when CRT is active.
This option will not be normally selected.
config CONFIG_BIGINT_BARRETT
bool "Barrett"
help
Barrett performs expensive precomputation before reduction and partial
multiplies for computational speed.
It is about 40% faster than Classical/Montgomery with the expense of
about 2kB, and so this option is normally selected.
endchoice
config CONFIG_BIGINT_CRT
bool "Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT)"
default y
help
Allow the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) to be used.
Uses a number of extra coefficients from the private key to improve the
performance of a decryption. This feature is one of the most
significant performance improvements (it reduces a decryption time by
over 3 times).
This option should be selected.
config CONFIG_BIGINT_KARATSUBA
bool "Karatsuba Multiplication"
default n
help
Allow Karasuba multiplication to be used.
Uses 3 multiplications (plus a number of additions/subtractions)
instead of 4. Multiplications are O(N^2) but addition/subtraction
is O(N) hence for large numbers is beneficial. For this project, the
effect was only useful for 4096 bit keys (for 32 bit processors). For
8 bit processors this option might be a possibility.
It costs about 2kB to enable it.
config MUL_KARATSUBA_THRESH
int "Karatsuba Multiplication Theshold"
default 20
depends on CONFIG_BIGINT_KARATSUBA
help
The minimum number of components needed before Karasuba muliplication
is used.
This is very dependent on the speed/implementation of bi_add()/
bi_subtract(). There is a bit of trial and error here and will be
at a different point for different architectures.
config SQU_KARATSUBA_THRESH
int "Karatsuba Square Threshold"
default 40
depends on CONFIG_BIGINT_KARATSUBA && CONFIG_BIGINT_SQUARE
help
The minimum number of components needed before Karatsuba squaring
is used.
This is very dependent on the speed/implementation of bi_add()/
bi_subtract(). There is a bit of trial and error here and will be
at a different point for different architectures.
config CONFIG_BIGINT_SLIDING_WINDOW
bool "Sliding Window Exponentiation"
default y
help
Allow Sliding-Window Exponentiation to be used.
Potentially processes more than 1 bit at a time when doing
exponentiation. The sliding-window technique reduces the number of
precomputations compared to other precomputed techniques.
It results in a considerable performance improvement with it enabled
(it halves the decryption time) and so should be selected.
config CONFIG_BIGINT_SQUARE
bool "Square Algorithm"
default y
help
Allow squaring to be used instead of a multiplication. It uses
1/2 of the standard multiplies to obtain its performance.
It gives a 20% speed improvement overall and so should be selected.
config CONFIG_BIGINT_CHECK_ON
bool "BigInt Integrity Checking"
default n if !CONFIG_DEBUG
default y if CONFIG_DEBUG
help
This is used when developing bigint algorithms. It performs a sanity
check on all operations at the expense of speed.
This option is only selected when developing and should normally be
turned off.
choice
prompt "Integer Size"
default CONFIG_INTEGER_32BIT
config CONFIG_INTEGER_32BIT
bool "32"
help
The native integer size is 32 bits or higher.
config CONFIG_INTEGER_16BIT
bool "16"
help
The native integer size is 16 bits.
config CONFIG_INTEGER_8BIT
bool "8"
help
The native integer size is 8 bits.
