<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>BN_new, BN_secure_new, BN_clear, BN_free, BN_clear_free - allocate and free BIGNUMs</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/bn.h&gt;

 BIGNUM *BN_new(void);

 BIGNUM *BN_secure_new(void);

 void BN_clear(BIGNUM *a);

 void BN_free(BIGNUM *a);

 void BN_clear_free(BIGNUM *a);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>BN_new() allocates and initializes a <b>BIGNUM</b> structure. BN_secure_new() does the same except that the secure heap <a href="../man3/OPENSSL_secure_malloc.html">OPENSSL_secure_malloc(3)</a> is used to store the value.</p>

<p>BN_clear() is used to destroy sensitive data such as keys when they are no longer needed. It erases the memory used by <b>a</b> and sets it to the value 0. If <b>a</b> is NULL, nothing is done.</p>

<p>BN_free() frees the components of the <b>BIGNUM</b>, and if it was created by BN_new(), also the structure itself. BN_clear_free() additionally overwrites the data before the memory is returned to the system. If <b>a</b> is NULL, nothing is done.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>BN_new() and BN_secure_new() return a pointer to the <b>BIGNUM</b> initialised to the value 0. If the allocation fails, they return <b>NULL</b> and set an error code that can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>

<p>BN_clear(), BN_free() and BN_clear_free() have no return values.</p>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

<p>BN_init() was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0; use BN_new() instead.</p>
