I guess the main reason is that the environments where these libraries
are supposed to be used are believed to be immune to the attacks
these checks are trying to prevent: the
Schneier mentions whooping values (whoops? I don't know the precise
term) in doing modular arithmetic. I was wondering what people
thought of this.
Basically if you've got a huge finite field, and do arithmetic on it,
the whoop values are the residues in a much smaller field that is
unknown to t
