DESCRIPTION
These functions implement RSA public key encryption and signatures as
defined in PKCS #1 v2.0 [RFC 2437].
The RSA structure consists of several BIGNUM components. It can con‐
tain 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.
The p, q, dmp1, dmq1 and iqmp may be NULL in private keys, but the RSA
operations are much faster when these values are available.
The rsa() function conforms to SSL, PKCS #1 v2.0. It was covered by a
US patent which expired in September 2000.
