=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
An B<RSA_METHOD> specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for RSA
|
|
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations such as
|
|
hardware accelerators may be used. IMPORTANT: See the NOTES section for
|
|
important information about how these RSA API functions are affected by the
|
|
use of B<ENGINE> API calls.
|
|
|
|
Initially, the default RSA_METHOD is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
|
|
as returned by RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay().
|
|
|
|
RSA_set_default_method() makes B<meth> the default method for all RSA
|
|
structures created later. B<NB>: This is true only whilst no ENGINE has
|
|
been set as a default for RSA, so this function is no longer recommended.
|
|
|
|
RSA_get_default_method() returns a pointer to the current default
|
|
RSA_METHOD. However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependant on
|
|
whether the ENGINE API is being used, so this function is no longer
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
RSA_set_method() selects B<meth> to perform all operations using the key
|
|
B<rsa>. This will replace the RSA_METHOD used by the RSA key and if the
|
|
previous method was supplied by an ENGINE, the handle to that ENGINE will
|
|
be released during the change. It is possible to have RSA keys that only
|
|
work with certain RSA_METHOD implementations (eg. from an ENGINE module
|
|
that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
|
|
attempting to change the RSA_METHOD for the key can have unexpected
|
|
results.
|
|
|
|
RSA_get_method() returns a pointer to the RSA_METHOD being used by B<rsa>.
|
|
This method may or may not be supplied by an ENGINE implementation, but if
|
|
it is, the return value can only be guaranteed to be valid as long as the
|
|
RSA key itself is valid and does not have its implementation changed by
|
|
RSA_set_method().
|
|
|
|
RSA_flags() returns the B<flags> that are set for B<rsa>'s current
|
|
RSA_METHOD. See the BUGS section.
|
|
|
|
RSA_new_method() allocates and initializes an RSA structure so that
|
|
B<engine> will be used for the RSA operations. If B<engine> is NULL, the
|
|
default ENGINE for RSA operations is used, and if no default ENGINE is set,
|
|
the RSA_METHOD controlled by RSA_set_default_method() is used.
|
|
|
|
RSA_flags() returns the B<flags> that are set for B<rsa>'s current method.
|
|
|
|
RSA_new_method() allocates and initializes an B<RSA> structure so that
|
|
B<method> will be used for the RSA operations. If B<method> is B<NULL>,
|
|
the default method is used.

} RSA_METHOD;
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay(), RSA_PKCS1_null_method(), RSA_get_default_method()
|
|
and RSA_get_method() return pointers to the respective RSA_METHODs.
|
|
|
|
RSA_set_default_method() returns no value.
|
|
|
|
RSA_set_method() returns a pointer to the old RSA_METHOD implementation
|
|
that was replaced. However, this return value should probably be ignored
|
|
because if it was supplied by an ENGINE, the pointer could be invalidated
|
|
at any time if the ENGINE is unloaded (in fact it could be unloaded as a
|
|
result of the RSA_set_method() function releasing its handle to the
|
|
ENGINE). For this reason, the return type may be replaced with a B<void>
|
|
declaration in a future release.
|
|
|
|
RSA_new_method() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained
|
|
by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)> if the allocation fails. Otherwise
|
|
it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
As of version 0.9.7, RSA_METHOD implementations are grouped together with
|
|
other algorithmic APIs (eg. DSA_METHOD, EVP_CIPHER, etc) into B<ENGINE>
|
|
modules. If a default ENGINE is specified for RSA functionality using an
|
|
ENGINE API function, that will override any RSA defaults set using the RSA
|
|
API (ie. RSA_set_default_method()). For this reason, the ENGINE API is the
|
|
recommended way to control default implementations for use in RSA and other
|
|
cryptographic algorithms.
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
The behaviour of RSA_flags() is a mis-feature that is left as-is for now
|
|
to avoid creating compatibility problems. RSA functionality, such as the
|
|
encryption functions, are controlled by the B<flags> value in the RSA key
|
|
itself, not by the B<flags> value in the RSA_METHOD attached to the RSA key
|
|
(which is what this function returns). If the flags element of an RSA key
|
|
is changed, the changes will be honoured by RSA functionality but will not
|
|
be reflected in the return value of the RSA_flags() function - in effect
|
|
RSA_flags() behaves more like an RSA_default_flags() function (which does
|
|
not currently exist).

|
=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
RSA_new_method() and RSA_set_default_method() appeared in SSLeay 0.8.
|
|
RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and RSA_get_method() as
|
|
well as the rsa_sign and rsa_verify components of RSA_METHOD were
|
|
added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
|
|
|
|
RSA_set_default_openssl_method() and RSA_get_default_openssl_method()
|
|
replaced RSA_set_default_method() and RSA_get_default_method()
|
|
respectively, and RSA_set_method() and RSA_new_method() were altered to use
|
|
B<ENGINE>s rather than B<RSA_METHOD>s during development of the engine
|
|
version of OpenSSL 0.9.6. For 0.9.7, the handling of defaults in the ENGINE
|
|
API was restructured so that this change was reversed, and behaviour of the
|
|
other functions resembled more closely the previous behaviour. The
|
|
behaviour of defaults in the ENGINE API now transparently overrides the
|
|
behaviour of defaults in the RSA API without requiring changing these
|
|
function prototypes.
