With the forthcoming `cpubits` crate we may be able to select the 32-bit backend for 8-bit platforms, if that works: https://github.com/RustCrypto/utils/issues/824

`getrandom` is only under `dev-dependencies`. Did you add `default-features = false` to disable the `std` feature? We ensure all of the crates in this repo build on `no_std` targets that...

I just need to finish and merge https://github.com/RustCrypto/utils/pull/826, which I plan to do soon

Just generally, per the `crypto-bigint` name, this crate assumes cryptographic applications of all operations. What's the use case where e.g. `ChaCha8Rng` is insufficient?

> there is nothing inherently cryptographic about just generating a random integer When are you generating a random integer with this library where it’s a nonsecret value? I suppose there...

Yes indeed, it's listed as a TODO and we'd be happy to switch to Karatsuba (see also #1). There are a few other algorithms I've seen that also may be...

As of #649 we support Karatsuba. Closing.

Sorry for taking awhile to review this. The implementation is somewhat complex which makes it difficult, but I also have some initial thoughts. The existing support for hex encoding is...

No, the `Pow` trait is not currently implemented for those wrappers
