D2I_RSAPUBLICKEY(3)          OpenSSL          D2I_RSAPUBLICKEY(3)

NAME

     d2i_RSAPublicKey, i2d_RSAPublicKey, d2i_RSAPrivateKey,
     i2d_RSAPrivateKey, d2i_RSA_PUBKEY, i2d_RSA_PUBKEY,
     i2d_Netscape_RSA, d2i_Netscape_RSA - RSA public and private
     key encoding functions.

SYNOPSIS

      #include <openssl/rsa.h>
      #include <openssl/x509.h>

      RSA * d2i_RSAPublicKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

      int i2d_RSAPublicKey(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

      RSA * d2i_RSA_PUBKEY(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

      int i2d_RSA_PUBKEY(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

      RSA * d2i_RSAPrivateKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

      int i2d_RSAPrivateKey(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

      int i2d_Netscape_RSA(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp, int (*cb)());

      RSA * d2i_Netscape_RSA(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length, int (*cb)());

DESCRIPTION

     d2i_RSAPublicKey() and i2d_RSAPublicKey() decode and encode
     a PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey structure.

     d2i_RSA_PUBKEY() and i2d_RSA_PUBKEY() decode and encode an
     RSA public key using a SubjectPublicKeyInfo (certificate
     public key) structure.

     d2i_RSAPrivateKey(), i2d_RSAPrivateKey() decode and encode a
     PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey structure.

     d2i_Netscape_RSA(), i2d_Netscape_RSA() decode and encode an
     RSA private key in NET format.

     The usage of all of these functions is similar to the
     d2i_X509() and i2d_X509() described in the d2i_X509(3)
     manual page.

NOTES

     The RSA structure passed to the private key encoding func-
     tions should have all the PKCS#1 private key components
     present.

     The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted
     and therefore offers no private key security.

     The NET format functions are present to provide compatibil-
     ity with certain very old software. This format has some
     severe security weaknesses and should be avoided if possi-
     ble.
