as defined in PKCS #1 v2.0 [RFC 2437]. The 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 NULL. p, q, dmp1, dmq1 and iqmp may
be NULL in private keys, but the RSA operations
are much faster when these values are available. Note that RSA keys may use non-standard RSA_METHOD implementations,
either directly or by the use of ENGINE modules.
In some cases (eg. an ENGINE providing support for hardware-embedded
keys), these BIGNUM values will not be used by the implementation
or may be used for alternative data storage. For this reason, applications
should generally avoid using RSA structure elements directly and
instead use API functions to query or modify keys. CONFORMING TOSSL, PKCS #1 v2.0 PATENTSRSA was covered by a US patent which expired in September
2000. SEE ALSOrsa(1), bn(3), dsa(3), dh(3), rand(3), engine(3), RSA_new(3), RSA_public_encrypt(3), RSA_sign(3), RSA_size(3), RSA_generate_key(3), RSA_check_key(3), RSA_blinding_on(3), RSA_set_method(3), RSA_print(3), RSA_get_ex_new_index(3), RSA_private_encrypt(3),
