26=head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28An RSA object contains the components for the public and private key,
29B<n>, B<e>, B<d>, B<p>, B<q>, B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp>. B<n> is
30the modulus common to both public and private key, B<e> is the public
31exponent and B<d> is the private exponent. B<p>, B<q>, B<dmp1>,
32B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> are the factors for the second representation of a
33private key (see PKCS#1 section 3 Key Types), where B<p> and B<q> are
34the first and second factor of B<n> and B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp>
35are the exponents and coefficient for CRT calculations.
36
37The B<n>, B<e> and B<d> parameters can be obtained by calling
38RSA_get0_key(). If they have not been set yet, then B<*n>, B<*e> and
39B<*d> will be set to NULL. Otherwise, they are set to pointers to
40their respective values. These point directly to the internal
41representations of the values and therefore should not be freed
42by the caller.
43
44The B<n>, B<e> and B<d> parameter values can be set by calling
45RSA_set0_key() and passing the new values for B<n>, B<e> and B<d> as
4c5e6b2c

46parameters to the function. The values B<n> and B<e> must be non-NULL
47the first time this function is called on a given RSA object. The
48value B<d> may be NULL. On subsequent calls any of these values may be
49NULL which means the corresponding RSA field is left untouched.
50Calling this function transfers the memory management of the values to
51the RSA object, and therefore the values that have been passed in
52should not be freed by the caller after this function has been called.

53
54In a similar fashion, the B<p> and B<q> parameters can be obtained and
55set with RSA_get0_factors() and RSA_set0_factors(), and the B<dmp1>,
56B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> parameters can be obtained and set with
57RSA_get0_crt_params() and RSA_set0_crt_params().
58
59RSA_set_flags() sets the flags in the B<flags> parameter on the RSA
60object. Multiple flags can be passed in one go (bitwise ORed together).
61Any flags that are already set are left set. RSA_test_flags() tests to
62see whether the flags passed in the B<flags> parameter are currently
63set in the RSA object. Multiple flags can be tested in one go. All
64flags that are currently set are returned, or zero if none of the
65flags are set. RSA_clear_flags() clears the specified flags within the
66RSA object.
67
68RSA_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for
69this RSA object, or NULL if no such ENGINE has been set.

71=head1 NOTES
72
73Values retrieved with RSA_get0_key() are owned by the RSA object used
74in the call and may therefore I<not> be passed to RSA_set0_key(). If
75needed, duplicate the received value using BN_dup() and pass the
76duplicate. The same applies to RSA_get0_factors() and RSA_set0_factors()
77as well as RSA_get0_crt_params() and RSA_set0_crt_params().

79=head1 RETURN VALUES
80
81RSA_set0_key(), RSA_set0_factors and RSA_set0_crt_params() return 1 on
82success or 0 on failure.
83
84RSA_test_flags() returns the current state of the flags in the RSA object.
85
86RSA_get0_engine() returns the ENGINE set for the RSA object or NULL if no
87ENGINE has been set.
