+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+BN_BLINDING_new() allocates a new B<BN_BLINDING> structure and copies
+the B<A> and B<Ai> values into the newly created B<BN_BLINDING> object.
+
+BN_BLINDING_free() frees the B<BN_BLINDING> structure.
+
+BN_BLINDING_update() updates the B<BN_BLINDING> parameters by squaring
+the B<A> and B<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 B<n> with the blinding factor B<A>.
+If B<r> is not NULL a copy the inverse blinding factor B<Ai> will be
+returned in B<r> (this is useful if a B<RSA> object is shared amoung
+several threads). BN_BLINDING_invert_ex() multiplies B<n> with the
+inverse blinding factor B<Ai>. If B<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 B<r> set to NULL.
+
+BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id() and BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id()
+set and get the "thread id" value of the B<BN_BLINDING> structure,
+a field provided to users of B<BN_BLINDING> structure to help them
+provide proper locking if needed for multi-threaded use. The
+"thread id" of a newly allocated B<BN_BLINDING> structure is zero.
+
+BN_BLINDING_get_flags() returns the BN_BLINDING flags. Currently
+there are two supported flags: B<BN_BLINDING_NO_UPDATE> and
+B<BN_BLINDING_NO_RECREATE>. B<BN_BLINDING_NO_UPDATE> inhibits the
+automatic update of the B<BN_BLINDING> parameters after each use
+and B<BN_BLINDING_NO_RECREATE> inhibits the automatic re-creation
+of the B<BN_BLINDING> parameters after a fixed number of uses (currently
+32). In newly allocated B<BN_BLINDING> objects no flags are set.
+BN_BLINDING_set_flags() sets the B<BN_BLINDING> parameters flags.
+
+BN_BLINDING_create_param() creates new B<BN_BLINDING> parameters
+using the exponent B<e> and the modulus B<m>. B<bn_mod_exp> and
+B<m_ctx> can be used to pass special functions for exponentiation
+(normally BN_mod_exp_mont() and B<BN_MONT_CTX>).
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+BN_BLINDING_new() returns the newly allocated B<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_get_thread_id() returns the thread id (a B<unsigned long>
+value) or 0 if not set.
+
+BN_BLINDING_get_flags() returns the currently set B<BN_BLINDING> flags
+(a B<unsigned long> value).
+
+BN_BLINDING_create_param() returns the newly created B<BN_BLINDING>
+parameters or NULL on error.
