Hello, every one.

I met some trouble when I make a program using Miracl under the Linux
evironment. To be honest, I am not familiar with Linux. I wrote an
algorthm named app.cpp. In the file app.cpp I used the functions such
as mr_init_threading(), mr_free(), etc., provided by Miracl. I can
compile the program like this g++ -I. -c -O2 app.cpp there's no
problem. But, when I try to turn it into an executive program, there
are many "undefined reference"errors. I use the order like this: g++ -I
app.cpp ecn.o zzn.o big.o miracl.a -o app. anybody who has the
experience using the miracl under linux please do me a favour. Thanks a
lot!

Especially when you use gcc which does not produce very efficient SPARC
code. The (free) Sun compilers generally generate much better SPARC
code (assemly with the -S switch). The latest compilers even produce
some comments as to what they did and why.

It's still unbroken, at least according to this recent review:

I also didn't find any attacks using a search of Google Scholar.

And to partially answer my own question, apparently the correct terminology
for what I'm looking for is "covering radius". I'm now searching the
literature with the right term...

According to Paul Rubin <http://phr.cx@NOSPAM.invalid>:

Let's be accurate. Java is a specification and there are several vendors
which provide virtual machines. The Java virtual machines provided by
Sun and IBM since 2000 use a pure Java implementation of BigInteger,
which is completely unrelated to OpenSSL. I assume you are talking about
older virtual machines such as the one which was bundled in Microsoft
Internet Explorer until Microsoft removed it, which happened some time
around 2002 if I recall correctly.

I have been using the Outerbridge des.c source code in some old DOS programs
successfully for some time. However, I recently tried using on on AIX
(bigendian) and it fell apart. Does anything special need to be done in
terms of defines or code? For example do the values in SP1, SP2, SP3, etc,
need to be recast as bigendian values? Many thanks for any guidance.

Point multiplication on y^2=x^2+ax+b gives the same result for all b.
For some b [x0,y0] is really on the curve.
