Files like dh.pod, etc., mostly duplicated the API-specific pod files. Removed the duplicated content; that often mean the whole file could be removed. Some of the content about internals got moved into README files in the source tree. Some content (e.g., err.pod) got moved into other pod pages.

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
RSA_blinding_on, RSA_blinding_off - protect the RSA operation from timing attacks
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
|
|
|
|
int RSA_blinding_on(RSA *rsa, BN_CTX *ctx);
|
|
|
|
void RSA_blinding_off(RSA *rsa);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
RSA is vulnerable to timing attacks. In a setup where attackers can
|
|
measure the time of RSA decryption or signature operations, blinding
|
|
must be used to protect the RSA operation from that attack.
|
|
|
|
RSA_blinding_on() turns blinding on for key B<rsa> and generates a
|
|
random blinding factor. B<ctx> is B<NULL> or a pre-allocated and
|
|
initialized B<BN_CTX>. The random number generator must be seeded
|
|
prior to calling RSA_blinding_on().
|
|
|
|
RSA_blinding_off() turns blinding off and frees the memory used for
|
|
the blinding factor.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
RSA_blinding_on() returns 1 on success, and 0 if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
RSA_blinding_off() returns no value.
