Bit::Vector implements all of these methods except for bmodexp. Here is my stab at modular exponentiation using bit vectors:
sub _VectorModExp($$$) { my $baseV = shift; my $expV = shift; my $modV = shift; my $resultV; my $trashV; # Bruteforcing this takes way too much time when expV is huge (whi +ch is usually). # Instead, we'll compute using powers of 2. my $i; my $powerV = $baseV->Clone(); # for $i = 0, or baseV^(2^0) = ba +seV^1 = baseV if ($expV->contains($i)) { $resultV->Copy($powerV); } else { $resultV->Empty(); } for ($i = 1; $i < ($expV->Size()/2); ++$i) { return $resultV if (!$expV->Interval_Scan_inc($i)); $powerV->Multiply($powerV, $powerV); $trashV->Divide($powerV, $modV, $powerV); if ($expV->contains($i)) { if ($resultV->is_empty()) { $resultV->Copy($powerV); } else { $resultV->Multiply($resultV, $powerV); } $trashV->Divide($resultV, $modV, $resultV); } } return $resultV; }
