Hi,

I'm new in OpenSSL, and would appreciate it if someone could help on the following 
questions.

Thank you.


Q1:
We need bignum functions in Linux kernel.  Is it possible to port BN functions to 
kernel?

Q2:
Is "..\openssl-0.9.6b\crypto\bn" the only place containing all bignum lib
related source files?

Q3: 
did any one ever try this (i.e. create bignum functions in Linux kernel 
space) before, and what did you find alone that path?  It may save me 
a lot of time by referencing what you did/found.

Q4: 
- BN lib uses malloc()/free(), and Linux kernel has kmalloc()/kfree().
- BN lib uses printf(), and Linux kernel has printk().
But what about all other functions used by BN lib, does Linux kernel 
provide all similar functions used by BN lib?

Q5:
I'm not a kernel expert.  Could someone please tell me what types 
of math functions Linux kernel provides, and which kernel headers 
have the declarations of those math functions?

Thank you.
