=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
RSA_check_key_ex, RSA_check_key - validate private RSA keys
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
|
|
|
|
int RSA_check_key_ex(RSA *rsa, BN_GENCB *cb);
|
|
|
|
int RSA_check_key(RSA *rsa);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
RSA_check_key_ex() function validates RSA keys.
|
|
It checks that B<p> and B<q> are
|
|
in fact prime, and that B<n = p*q>.
|
|
|
|
It does not work on RSA public keys that have only the modulus
|
|
and public exponent elements populated.
|
|
It also checks that B<d*e = 1 mod (p-1*q-1)>,
|
|
and that B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> are set correctly or are B<NULL>.
|
|
It performs integrity checks on all
|
|
the RSA key material, so the RSA key structure must contain all the private
|
|
key data too.
|
|
Therefore, it cannot be used with any arbitrary RSA key object,
|
|
even if it is otherwise fit for regular RSA operation.
|
|
|
|
The B<cb> parameter is a callback that will be invoked in the same
|
|
manner as L<BN_is_prime_ex(3)>.
|
|
|
|
RSA_check_key() is equivalent to RSA_check_key_ex() with a NULL B<cb>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
RSA_check_key_ex() and RSA_check_key()
|
|
return 1 if B<rsa> is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise.
|
|
They return -1 if an error occurs while checking the key.
|
|
|
|
If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
|
|
obtained using L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Unlike most other RSA functions, this function does B<not> work
|
|
transparently with any underlying ENGINE implementation because it uses the
|
|
key data in the RSA structure directly. An ENGINE implementation can
|
|
override the way key data is stored and handled, and can even provide
|
|
support for HSM keys - in which case the RSA structure may contain B<no>
|
|
key data at all! If the ENGINE in question is only being used for
|
|
acceleration or analysis purposes, then in all likelihood the RSA key data
|
|
is complete and untouched, but this can't be assumed in the general case.
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
A method of verifying the RSA key using opaque RSA API functions might need
|
|
to be considered. Right now RSA_check_key() simply uses the RSA structure
|
|
elements directly, bypassing the RSA_METHOD table altogether (and
|
|
completely violating encapsulation and object-orientation in the process).
|
|
The best fix will probably be to introduce a "check_key()" handler to the
|
|
RSA_METHOD function table so that alternative implementations can also
|
|
provide their own verifiers.
