.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIRSA_check_key_ex()\fR function validates \s-1RSA\s0 keys.
It checks that \fBp\fR and \fBq\fR are
in fact prime, and that \fBn = p*q\fR.
.PP
It does not work on \s-1RSA\s0 public keys that have only the modulus
and public exponent elements populated.
It also checks that \fBd*e = 1 mod (p\-1*q\-1)\fR,
and that \fBdmp1\fR, \fBdmq1\fR and \fBiqmp\fR are set correctly or are \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
It performs integrity checks on all
the \s-1RSA\s0 key material, so the \s-1RSA\s0 key structure must contain all the private
key data too.
Therefore, it cannot be used with any arbitrary \s-1RSA\s0 key object,
even if it is otherwise fit for regular \s-1RSA\s0 operation.
.PP
The \fBcb\fR parameter is a callback that will be invoked in the same
manner as \fIBN_is_prime_ex\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fIRSA_check_key()\fR is equivalent to \fIRSA_check_key_ex()\fR with a \s-1NULL \s0\fBcb\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIRSA_check_key_ex()\fR and \fIRSA_check_key()\fR
return 1 if \fBrsa\fR is a valid \s-1RSA\s0 key, and 0 otherwise.
They return \-1 if an error occurs while checking the key.
.PP
If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
obtained using \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
Unlike most other \s-1RSA\s0 functions, this function does \fBnot\fR work
transparently with any underlying \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementation because it uses the
key data in the \s-1RSA\s0 structure directly. An \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementation can
override the way key data is stored and handled, and can even provide
support for \s-1HSM\s0 keys \- in which case the \s-1RSA\s0 structure may contain \fBno\fR
key data at all! If the \s-1ENGINE\s0 in question is only being used for
acceleration or analysis purposes, then in all likelihood the \s-1RSA\s0 key data
is complete and untouched, but this can't be assumed in the general case.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
A method of verifying the \s-1RSA\s0 key using opaque \s-1RSA API\s0 functions might need
to be considered. Right now \fIRSA_check_key()\fR simply uses the \s-1RSA\s0 structure
elements directly, bypassing the \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 table altogether (and
completely violating encapsulation and object-orientation in the process).
The best fix will probably be to introduce a \*(L"\fIcheck_key()\fR\*(R" handler to the
\&\s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 function table so that alternative implementations can also
provide their own verifiers.
