Hi all,

First of all apologies if this is not the right place for this topic. For my master thesis I am using the mbedtls library to analyze it using side channel analysis. My objective was to use it as a starting point to analyze the resistance of different exponentiation algorithms.

With this objective I am trying to set up a environment where I can call the function "mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod" https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/f5b7082f6e8af72868966b6ea99eae228f3... and debug it. I have been trying for at least two weeks but I couldn't be able to succeed.

I believe that when If I can get a debugging environment for that function I will be able to adapt it and use other exponentiation algorithms such as the Left-to-right k-ary (HAC 14.82).

I am using VScode and the code is located in WLS Ubuntu 20.04. So far I been able to compile the full library and run all the tests.

Anyone here could give mean indication on how to set up the environment to debug this function?

Thanks!

Victor.
