| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | RSA_check_key_ex, RSA_check_key - validate private RSA keys
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | =head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | #include <openssl/rsa.h>
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
|
|---|
| 12 | hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
|
|---|
| 13 | see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | int RSA_check_key_ex(const RSA *rsa, BN_GENCB *cb);
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | int RSA_check_key(const RSA *rsa);
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | Both of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
|
|---|
| 22 | Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_public_check(3)>,
|
|---|
| 23 | L<EVP_PKEY_private_check(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check(3)>.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | RSA_check_key_ex() function validates RSA keys.
|
|---|
| 26 | It checks that B<p> and B<q> are
|
|---|
| 27 | in fact prime, and that B<n = p*q>.
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | It does not work on RSA public keys that have only the modulus
|
|---|
| 30 | and public exponent elements populated.
|
|---|
| 31 | It also checks that B<d*e = 1 mod (p-1*q-1)>,
|
|---|
| 32 | and that B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> are set correctly or are B<NULL>.
|
|---|
| 33 | It performs integrity checks on all
|
|---|
| 34 | the RSA key material, so the RSA key structure must contain all the private
|
|---|
| 35 | key data too.
|
|---|
| 36 | Therefore, it cannot be used with any arbitrary RSA key object,
|
|---|
| 37 | even if it is otherwise fit for regular RSA operation.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | The B<cb> parameter is a callback that will be invoked in the same
|
|---|
| 40 | manner as L<BN_is_prime_ex(3)>.
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | RSA_check_key() is equivalent to RSA_check_key_ex() with a NULL B<cb>.
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | =head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | RSA_check_key_ex() and RSA_check_key()
|
|---|
| 47 | return 1 if B<rsa> is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise.
|
|---|
| 48 | They return -1 if an error occurs while checking the key.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
|
|---|
| 51 | obtained using L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | =head1 NOTES
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | Unlike most other RSA functions, this function does B<not> work
|
|---|
| 56 | transparently with any underlying ENGINE implementation because it uses the
|
|---|
| 57 | key data in the RSA structure directly. An ENGINE implementation can
|
|---|
| 58 | override the way key data is stored and handled, and can even provide
|
|---|
| 59 | support for HSM keys - in which case the RSA structure may contain B<no>
|
|---|
| 60 | key data at all! If the ENGINE in question is only being used for
|
|---|
| 61 | acceleration or analysis purposes, then in all likelihood the RSA key data
|
|---|
| 62 | is complete and untouched, but this can't be assumed in the general case.
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | =head1 BUGS
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | A method of verifying the RSA key using opaque RSA API functions might need
|
|---|
| 67 | to be considered. Right now RSA_check_key() simply uses the RSA structure
|
|---|
| 68 | elements directly, bypassing the RSA_METHOD table altogether (and
|
|---|
| 69 | completely violating encapsulation and object-orientation in the process).
|
|---|
| 70 | The best fix will probably be to introduce a "check_key()" handler to the
|
|---|
| 71 | RSA_METHOD function table so that alternative implementations can also
|
|---|
| 72 | provide their own verifiers.

|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
|
|---|
| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | RSA_check_key_ex() appeared after OpenSSL 1.0.2.
