22 *	 Actually it's the same code with only minor changes in the
23 *	 way the data is stored; this is to support the abstraction
24 *	 of an optional secure memory allocation which may be used
25 *	 to avoid revealing of sensitive data due to paging etc.
26 *	 The GNU MP Library itself is published under the LGPL;
27 *	 however I decided to publish this code under the plain GPL.
