63=head1 DESCRIPTION
64
65These functions implement RSA public key encryption and signatures
66as defined in PKCS #1 v2.0 [RFC 2437].
67
68The B<RSA> structure consists of several BIGNUM components. It can
69contain public as well as private RSA keys:
70
71 struct
72        {
73        BIGNUM *n;		// public modulus
74        BIGNUM *e;		// public exponent
75        BIGNUM *d;		// private exponent
76        BIGNUM *p;		// secret prime factor
77        BIGNUM *q;		// secret prime factor
78        BIGNUM *dmp1;		// d mod (p-1)
79        BIGNUM *dmq1;		// d mod (q-1)
80        BIGNUM *iqmp;		// q^-1 mod p
81	// ...
82        };
83 RSA
84
85In public keys, the private exponent and the related secret values are
86B<NULL>.
87
88B<p>, B<q>, B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> may be B<NULL> in private
89keys, but the RSA operations are much faster when these values are
90available.
91
92Note that RSA keys may use non-standard B<RSA_METHOD> implementations,
93either directly or by the use of B<ENGINE> modules. In some cases (eg. an
94ENGINE providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these BIGNUM values
95will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
96storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using RSA
97structure elements directly and instead use API functions to query or
98modify keys.
