.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
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 API\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 \fBRSA_PKCS1_OpenSSL()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_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.
This function is not thread-safe and should not be called at the same time
as other OpenSSL functions.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default
\&\s-1RSA_METHOD.\s0 However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependent on
whether the \s-1ENGINE API\s0 is being used, so this function is no longer
recommended.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_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 (e.g. 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
\&\fBRSA_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
\&\fBRSA_set_method()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_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
\&\fBRSA_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 \fBRSA_set_default_method()\fR is used.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_flags()\fR returns the \fBflags\fR that are set for \fBrsa\fR's current method.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_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.

.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBRSA_PKCS1_OpenSSL()\fR, \fBRSA_PKCS1_null_method()\fR, \fBRSA_get_default_method()\fR
and \fBRSA_get_method()\fR return pointers to the respective RSA_METHODs.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_set_default_method()\fR returns no value.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_set_method()\fR returns a pointer to the old \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 implementation
that was replaced. However, this return value should probably be ignored
because if it was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE,\s0 the pointer could be invalidated
at any time if the \s-1ENGINE\s0 is unloaded (in fact it could be unloaded as a
result of the \fBRSA_set_method()\fR function releasing its handle to the
\&\s-1ENGINE\s0). For this reason, the return type may be replaced with a \fBvoid\fR
declaration in a future release.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_new_method()\fR returns \s-1NULL\s0 and sets an error code that can be obtained
by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3) if the allocation fails. Otherwise
it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
The behaviour of \fBRSA_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 \fBRSA_flags()\fR function \- in effect
\&\fBRSA_flags()\fR behaves more like an \fBRSA_default_flags()\fR function (which does
not currently exist).
