If something was "present in all versions" of SSLeay, or if it was added to a version of SSLeay (and therefore predates OpenSSL), remove mention of it. Documentation history now starts with OpenSSL. Remove mention of all history before OpenSSL 0.9.8, inclusive. Remove all AUTHOR sections. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org>

=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 dependent 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.

=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)> if the allocation fails. Otherwise
|
|
it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
|
|
|
|
=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).
