|
|
An \fB\s-1RSA_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for \s-1RSA\s0
|
|
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations such as
|
|
hardware accelerators may be used. \s-1IMPORTANT:\s0 See the \s-1NOTES\s0 section for
|
|
important information about how these \s-1RSA\s0 \s-1API\s0 functions are affected by the
|
|
use of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR \s-1API\s0 calls.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Initially, the default \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
|
|
as returned by \fIRSA_PKCS1_SSLeay()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIRSA_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \s-1RSA\s0
|
|
structures created later. \fB\s-1NB\s0\fR: This is true only whilst no \s-1ENGINE\s0 has
|
|
been set as a default for \s-1RSA\s0, so this function is no longer recommended.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIRSA_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default
|
|
\&\s-1RSA_METHOD\s0. However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependant on
|
|
whether the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 is being used, so this function is no longer
|
|
recommended.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIRSA_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR to perform all operations using the key
|
|
\&\fBrsa\fR. This will replace the \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 used by the \s-1RSA\s0 key and if the
|
|
previous method was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE\s0, the handle to that \s-1ENGINE\s0 will
|
|
be released during the change. It is possible to have \s-1RSA\s0 keys that only
|
|
work with certain \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 implementations (eg. from an \s-1ENGINE\s0 module
|
|
that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
|
|
attempting to change the \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 for the key can have unexpected
|
|
results.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIRSA_get_method()\fR returns a pointer to the \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 being used by \fBrsa\fR.
|
|
This method may or may not be supplied by an \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementation, but if
|
|
it is, the return value can only be guaranteed to be valid as long as the
|
|
\&\s-1RSA\s0 key itself is valid and does not have its implementation changed by
|
|
\&\fIRSA_set_method()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIRSA_flags()\fR returns the \fBflags\fR that are set for \fBrsa\fR's current
|
|
\&\s-1RSA_METHOD\s0. See the \s-1BUGS\s0 section.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIRSA_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes an \s-1RSA\s0 structure so that
|
|
\&\fBengine\fR will be used for the \s-1RSA\s0 operations. If \fBengine\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, the
|
|
default \s-1ENGINE\s0 for \s-1RSA\s0 operations is used, and if no default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is set,
|
|
the \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 controlled by \fIRSA_set_default_method()\fR is used.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIRSA_flags()\fR returns the \fBflags\fR that are set for \fBrsa\fR's current method.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIRSA_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes an \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR structure so that
|
|
\&\fBmethod\fR will be used for the \s-1RSA\s0 operations. If \fBmethod\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR,
|
|
the default method is used.

|
|
As of version 0.9.7, \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 implementations are grouped together with
|
|
other algorithmic APIs (eg. \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0, \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0, etc) into \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR
|
|
modules. If a default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is specified for \s-1RSA\s0 functionality using an
|
|
\&\s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 function, that will override any \s-1RSA\s0 defaults set using the \s-1RSA\s0
|
|
\&\s-1API\s0 (ie. \fIRSA_set_default_method()\fR). For this reason, the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 is the
|
|
recommended way to control default implementations for use in \s-1RSA\s0 and other
|
|
cryptographic algorithms.
|
|
.SH "BUGS"
|
|
.IX Header "BUGS"
|
|
The behaviour of \fIRSA_flags()\fR is a mis-feature that is left as-is for now
|
|
to avoid creating compatibility problems. \s-1RSA\s0 functionality, such as the
|
|
encryption functions, are controlled by the \fBflags\fR value in the \s-1RSA\s0 key
|
|
itself, not by the \fBflags\fR value in the \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 attached to the \s-1RSA\s0 key
|
|
(which is what this function returns). If the flags element of an \s-1RSA\s0 key
|
|
is changed, the changes will be honoured by \s-1RSA\s0 functionality but will not
|
|
be reflected in the return value of the \fIRSA_flags()\fR function \- in effect
|
|
\&\fIRSA_flags()\fR behaves more like an \fIRSA_default_flags()\fR function (which does
|
|
not currently exist).

\&\fIRSA_set_default_openssl_method()\fR and \fIRSA_get_default_openssl_method()\fR

replaced \fIRSA_set_default_method()\fR and \fIRSA_get_default_method()\fR

|
respectively, and \fIRSA_set_method()\fR and \fIRSA_new_method()\fR were altered to use
|
|
\&\fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fRs rather than \fB\s-1RSA_METHOD\s0\fRs during development of the engine
|
|
version of OpenSSL 0.9.6. For 0.9.7, the handling of defaults in the \s-1ENGINE\s0
|
|
\&\s-1API\s0 was restructured so that this change was reversed, and behaviour of the
|
|
other functions resembled more closely the previous behaviour. The
|
|
behaviour of defaults in the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \s-1API\s0 now transparently overrides the
|
|
behaviour of defaults in the \s-1RSA\s0 \s-1API\s0 without requiring changing these
|
|
function prototypes.
