                                 const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx, BN_MONT_CTX *m_ctx),

DESCRIPTION
       BN_BLINDING_new() allocates a new BN_BLINDING structure and copies the A and Ai values
       into the newly created BN_BLINDING object.

       BN_BLINDING_free() frees the BN_BLINDING structure.

       BN_BLINDING_update() updates the BN_BLINDING parameters by squaring the A and Ai or, after
       specific number of uses and if the necessary parameters are set, by re-creating the
       blinding parameters.

       BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() multiplies n with the blinding factor A.  If r is not NULL a copy
       the inverse blinding factor Ai will be returned in r (this is useful if a RSA object is
       shared among several threads). BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() multiplies n with the inverse
       blinding factor Ai. If r is not NULL it will be used as the inverse blinding.

       BN_BLINDING_convert() and BN_BLINDING_invert() are wrapper functions for
       BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() and BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() with r set to NULL.

       BN_BLINDING_thread_id() provides access to the CRYPTO_THREADID object within the
       BN_BLINDING structure. This is to help users provide proper locking if needed for multi-
       threaded use. The "thread id" object of a newly allocated BN_BLINDING structure is
       initialised to the thread id in which BN_BLINDING_new() was called.

       BN_BLINDING_get_flags() returns the BN_BLINDING flags. Currently there are two supported
       flags: BN_BLINDING_NO_UPDATE and BN_BLINDING_NO_RECREATE. BN_BLINDING_NO_UPDATE inhibits
       the automatic update of the BN_BLINDING parameters after each use and
       BN_BLINDING_NO_RECREATE inhibits the automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters
       after a fixed number of uses (currently 32). In newly allocated BN_BLINDING objects no
       flags are set.  BN_BLINDING_set_flags() sets the BN_BLINDING parameters flags.

       BN_BLINDING_create_param() creates new BN_BLINDING parameters using the exponent e and the
       modulus m. bn_mod_exp and m_ctx can be used to pass special functions for exponentiation
       (normally BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_MONT_CTX).

RETURN VALUES
       BN_BLINDING_new() returns the newly allocated BN_BLINDING structure or NULL in case of an
       error.

       BN_BLINDING_update(), BN_BLINDING_convert(), BN_BLINDING_invert(),
       BN_BLINDING_convert_ex() and BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() return 1 on success and 0 if an error
       occured.

       BN_BLINDING_thread_id() returns a pointer to the thread id object within a BN_BLINDING
       object.

       BN_BLINDING_get_flags() returns the currently set BN_BLINDING flags (a unsigned long
       value).

       BN_BLINDING_create_param() returns the newly created BN_BLINDING parameters or NULL on
       error.

HISTORY
       BN_BLINDING_thread_id was first introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.0, and it deprecates
       BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id and BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id.

       BN_BLINDING_convert_ex, BN_BLINDIND_invert_ex, BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id,
       BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id, BN_BLINDING_set_flags, BN_BLINDING_get_flags and
       BN_BLINDING_create_param were first introduced in OpenSSL 0.9.8
