| 31 | * |
| 32 | * $Log: mprand.c,v $ |
| 33 | * Revision 1.4 2001/05/07 17:31:19 mdw |
| 34 | * Fix off-by one bug in mprand_range. Probably security critical: the old |
| 35 | * code generated numbers between zero and the highest power of 2 less than |
| 36 | * the given range. |
| 37 | * |
| 38 | * Revision 1.3 2000/06/17 11:45:09 mdw |
| 39 | * Major memory management overhaul. Added arena support. Use the secure |
| 40 | * arena for secret integers. Replace and improve the MP management macros |
| 41 | * (e.g., replace MP_MODIFY by MP_DEST). |
| 42 | * |
| 43 | * Revision 1.2 1999/12/22 15:55:33 mdw |
| 44 | * Modify `mprand' slightly. Add `mprand_range'. |
| 45 | * |
| 46 | * Revision 1.1 1999/12/10 23:23:05 mdw |
| 47 | * Support for generating random large integers. |
| 48 | * |

| 129 | * |
| 130 | * Rather simpler than most. Find the number of bits in the number %$l$% |
| 131 | * (i.e., the integer %$b$% such that %$2^{b - 1} \le l < 2^b$%), and |
| 132 | * generate pseudorandom integers with %$n$% bits (but not, unlike in the |
| 133 | * function above, with the top bit forced to 1). If the integer is |
| 134 | * greater than or equal to %$l$%, try again. |
| 135 | * |
| 136 | * This is similar to the algorithms used in @lcrand_range@ and friends, |
| 137 | * except that I've forced the `raw' range of the random numbers such that |
| 138 | * %$l$% itself is the largest multiple of %$l$% in the range (since, by |
| 139 | * the inequality above, %$2^b \le 2l$%). This removes the need for costly |
| 140 | * division and remainder operations. |
| 141 | * |
| 142 | * As usual, the number of iterations expected is two. |
