=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
RSA_check_key - validate private RSA keys
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
|
|
|
|
int RSA_check_key(RSA *rsa);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This function validates RSA keys. It checks that B<p> and B<q> are
|
|
in fact prime, and that B<n = p*q>.
|
|
|
|
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>.
|
|
|
|
As such, this function can not be used with any arbitrary RSA key object,
|
|
even if it is otherwise fit for regular RSA operation. See B<NOTES> for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
RSA_check_key() returns 1 if B<rsa> is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise.
|
|
-1 is returned 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)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
This function does not work on RSA public keys that have only the modulus
|
|
and public exponent elements populated. It performs integrity checks on all
|
|
the RSA key material, so the RSA key structure must contain all the private
|
|
key data too.
