=head1 Description

The routines

  msqrt1 ($S,$a*$b)>
  msqrt2 ($S,$a,$b)>

demonstrate the difference in time required to find the modular square
root of a number $S modulo $p when the factorization of $p is
respectively unknown and known. To see this difference, compare the time
required to process test: C with line 11 uncommented with that of
C. The time required to find the modular square root of $S
modulo $p grows exponentially with the length $l in characters of the
number $p. For well chosen:

  $p=$a*$b

the difference in times required to recover the square root can be made
very large for small $l. The difference can be made so large that the
unfactored version takes more than a year's effort by all the computers
on planet Earth to solve, whilst the factored version can be solved in a
few seconds on one personal computer.

Ideally $a,$b and should be prime. This prevents alternate
factorizarizations of $p being present which would lower the difference
in time to find the modular square root.


=head2 msqrt1() msqrt2()

C finds the square roots of $S modulo $a where $S,$a are
integers. There are normally either zero or two roots for a given pair
of numbers if gcd($S,$a) == 1 although in the case that $S==0 and $a is
prime, zero will have just one square root: zero. If gcd($S,$a) != 1
there will be more pairs of square roots. The square roots are returned
as a list. C will croak if its arguments are not
integers, or if $a is zero.

C finds the square roots of $S modulo $a*$b where
$S,$a,$b are integers. There are normally either zero or four roots for
a given triple of numbers if gcd($S,$a) == 1 and gcd($S,$b) == 1. If
this is not so there will be more pairs of square roots. The square
roots are returned as a list. C will croak if its
arguments are not integers, or if $a or $b are zero.


=head2 gcd() gcd2()

C finds the greatest common divisor of a list of numbers @_,
with error checks to validate the parameter list. C will croak
unless all of its arguments are integers. At least one of these integers
must be non zero.

C finds the greatest common divisor of two integers $a,$b
as quickly as possible with no error checks to validate the parameter
list. C can always be used as a plug in replacement for
C but not vice versa.

C solves the equation:

 $a*$m+$b*$n == 1

for $m,$n given $a,$b where $a,$b,$m,$n are integers and

 gcd($a,$b) == 1

The returned value is the list:

 ($m, $n)

A check is made that the solution does solve the above equation, a croak
is issued if this test fails. C will also croak unless
supplied with two non zero integers as parameters.


=head2 prime()

C checks that $p is prime, returning 1 if it is, 0 if it is
not. C will croak unless it is supplied with one integer
parameter greater than zero.

C checks that $p is prime by trying the first $N =
10**$n integers as divisors, while at the same time, finding the
greatest common divisor of $p and a number at chosen at random between
$N and the square root of $p $N times. If neither of these techniques
finds a divisor, it is possible that $p is prime and the
function retuerns 1, else 0.


=head2 factorial()

C finds the product of the integers from 1 to $n.
C will croak unless $n is a positive integer.


=head1 Export

C are
exported upon request. Alternatively the tag B<:all> exports all these
functions, while the tag B<:sqrt> exports just C.


=head1 Installation

Standard Module::Build process for building and installing modules:

  perl Build.PL
  ./Build
  ./Build test
  ./Build install

Or, if you're on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesn't require
the "./" notation, you can do this:

  perl Build.PL
  Build
  Build test
  Build install
