Dear dropbear developers, I was experimenting with the Toom-Cook multiplication algorithm, for large numbers, and I run across LibTomMath. Unfortunately the main project seems dead and forgotten, so I searched for an active project using its code and I've found Dropbear! I patched the 3-way Toom from libtommath with some simple optimizations ( http://ln.bodrato.it/FasterToomConvolution_pdf ), now it is significantly faster: on my laptop it "obsoletes" the Karatsuba code, since it is as fast a Karatsuba for small operands, but faster for bigger ones. Now the question is: are you interested in the patch? (maybe you prefer not to modify an "external and imported" library...) In the case you are interested, how should I submit the new files?
Thank you for any answer, Marco -- http://bodrato.it/
