=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions implement RSA public key encryption and signatures
as defined in PKCS #1 v2.0 [RFC 2437].
The B<RSA> structure consists of several BIGNUM components. It can
contain public as well as private RSA keys:
struct
{
BIGNUM *n; // public modulus
BIGNUM *e; // public exponent
BIGNUM *d; // private exponent
BIGNUM *p; // secret prime factor
BIGNUM *q; // secret prime factor
BIGNUM *dmp1; // d mod (p-1)
BIGNUM *dmq1; // d mod (q-1)
BIGNUM *iqmp; // q^-1 mod p
// ...
};
RSA
In public keys, the private exponent and the related secret values are
B<NULL>.
B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> may be B<NULL> in private keys, but the
RSA operations are much faster when these values are available.
