I want to use the below equation in one of the code
A = g^a mod p; //g raise to a modulus p.
(something like 2^5 % 3) = 32%3 = 2
(This equation looks like Diffie Hellman algorithm for security)
Where,
^ is (power)
g is fixed number 0x05
a is 128bit(16bytes) randomly generated number,
and p is fixed hex number of 128bit(16bytes)
something like (0x0xD4A283974897234CE908B3478387A3).
I am using,
Qt 4.8.7
Compiler MinGW32
(checked with boost library boost 1.70)
The solutions which I found which didn`t work for me are listed below:
1 one can use __int128 but to support that one should have used latest GCC compiler or MinGW64 bit compiler, neither of that I am using now.
2 I found one latest version of Qt has QSslDiffieHellmanParameters class, but again not supported in our Qt version.
3 I found some libraries like boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp (boost 1.70)) that does have data type such as int128_t and int256_t, but due to our compiler isssue or something else, we are not able to store 128bit number, meaning if i do,
int128_t ptval128 = 0xAB1232423243434343BAE3453345E34B;
cout << "ptval128 = " << std::hex << ptval128 << endl;
//will print only 0xAB12324232434343;//half digits only,4 I tried using Bigint which much more useful, but again 5^(128bit number) is way too big, it takes hours to compute things, (I waited till 1 hour and 16 mins and kill the application).
int myGval = 0x05;
128_bit_data_type myPVal= 0xD4A283974897234CE908B3478387A3;
128_bit_data_type 128_bit_variable = 128_bit_random_data;
myVal = (myGval)^(128_bit_variable) % (myPVal);
