Changes in this release:
Minimized and isolated constructs that do not adhere to C/C++
standards, and added flags NTL_CLEAN_INT and NTL_CLEAN_PTR
which force stricter compliance with these standards
Added functions IsWhiteSpace, CharToIntVal,
and IntValToChar to the tools module
Added methods allocated, position1 to generic vector classes
Added method allocated to the class vec_GF2
Added conversion routines from unsigned int/long to int, long, float,
and double
Added routines AddPrec, SubPrec, etc., to the RR
module, and declared the practice of directly assigning to the variable
RR::prec obsolete
Fixed a number of minor bugs.
by Victor Shoup. It provides objects and methods for
- arbitrary length integers
- finite fields
- polynomials over fields
- extensions of fields.
NTL's lattice reduction code is also one of the best available anywhere, in
terms of both speed and robustness, and one of the few implementations of block
Korkin-Zolotarev reduction with the Schnorr-Horner pruning heuristic. It has
been used to "crack" several cryptosystems.
