      * RSA blinding relies on the fact that (xy)^d mod n is equal
      * to (x^d mod n) * (y^d mod n) mod n. We invent a random pair
-     * y and y^d; then we multiply x by y, raise to the power e mod
-     * n as usual, and divide by y^d to recover x^d. Thus the
-     * timing of the modpow does not reveal information about x,
-     * but only about xy, which is unpredictable to an attacker.

      * 
      * The clever bit is that we don't have to do a huge modpow to
