New function `bn_mult_3_2` that multiplies by 3/2.
This function is used in point_double and point_jacobian_double.
Cleaned up point_add and point_double, more comments.
Use a similar algorithm for `point_multiply` as for
`scalar_multiply` but with less precomputation.
Added double for points in Jacobian coordinates.
Simplified `point_jacobian_add` a little.
This could lead to a buffer overrun if the final 0 byte is
written to current_word[j] after the loop.
Also document the limit of passphrase in mnemonic_to_seed.
This version of scalar_mult should be faster and much better
against side-channel attacks. Except bn_inverse and bn_mod
all functions are constant time. bn_inverse is only used
in the last step and its input is randomized. The function
bn_mod is only taking extra time in 2^32/2^256 cases, so
in practise it should not occur at all. The input to bn_mod
is also depending on the random value.
There is secret dependent array access in scalar_multiply,
so cache may be an issue.
This should make side-channel attacks much more difficult. However,
1. Timing of bn_inverse, which is used in point_add depends on input.
2. Timing of reading secp256k1_cp may depend on input due to cache.
3. The conditions in point_add are not timing attack safe.
However point_add is always a straight addition, never double or some
other special case.
In the long run, I would like to use a specialized point_add using Jacobian
representation plus a randomization when converting the first point to
Jacobian representation. The Jacobian representation would also make
the procedure a bit faster.
The new method needs about 30 % less time for prime256k1 and is about
twice as fast for other moduli. The base algorithm is the same.
The code is also a bit smaller and doesn't need the 8 kb precomputed
table.
Important canges:
1. even/odd distinction so that we need to test only one of the numbers
for being even. This also leads to less duplicated code.
2. Allow for shifting by 32 bits at a time in the even test.
3. Pack u,s and v,r into the same array, which saves a bit of stack memory.
4. Don't divide by two after subtraction; this simplifies code.
5. Abort as soon as u,v are equal, instead of subtracting them.
6. Use s instead of r after the loop; no negation needed.
7. New code that divides by 2^k fast without any precomputed values.
