SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
void RSA_set_default_method(const RSA_METHOD *meth);
RSA_METHOD *RSA_get_default_method(void);
int RSA_set_method(RSA *rsa, const RSA_METHOD *meth);
RSA_METHOD *RSA_get_method(const RSA *rsa);

RSA_METHOD *RSA_null_method(void);
int RSA_flags(const RSA *rsa);
RSA *RSA_new_method(RSA_METHOD *method);
DESCRIPTION
An RSA_METHOD specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for RSA operations. By modifying
the method, alternative implementations such as hardware accelerators may be used.
IMPORTANT: See the NOTES section for important information about how these RSA API
functions are affected by the use of ENGINE API calls.
Initially, the default RSA_METHOD is the OpenSSL internal implementation, as returned by
RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay().
RSA_set_default_method() makes meth the default method for all RSA structures created
later. NB: This is true only whilst no ENGINE has been set as a default for RSA, so this
function is no longer recommended.
RSA_get_default_method() returns a pointer to the current default RSA_METHOD. However, the
meaningfulness of this result is dependent on whether the ENGINE API is being used, so
this function is no longer recommended.
RSA_set_method() selects meth to perform all operations using the key rsa. This will
replace the RSA_METHOD used by the RSA key and if the previous method was supplied by an
ENGINE, the handle to that ENGINE will be released during the change. It is possible to
have RSA keys that only work with certain RSA_METHOD implementations (eg. from an ENGINE
module that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases attempting to
change the RSA_METHOD for the key can have unexpected results.
RSA_get_method() returns a pointer to the RSA_METHOD being used by rsa. This method may
or may not be supplied by an ENGINE implementation, but if it is, the return value can
only be guaranteed to be valid as long as the RSA key itself is valid and does not have
its implementation changed by RSA_set_method().
RSA_flags() returns the flags that are set for rsa's current RSA_METHOD. See the BUGS
section.
RSA_new_method() allocates and initializes an RSA structure so that engine will be used
for the RSA operations. If engine is NULL, the default ENGINE for RSA operations is used,
and if no default ENGINE is set, the RSA_METHOD controlled by RSA_set_default_method() is
used.
RSA_flags() returns the flags that are set for rsa's current method.
RSA_new_method() allocates and initializes an RSA structure so that method will be used
for the RSA operations. If method is NULL, the default method is used.

} RSA_METHOD;
RETURN VALUES
RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay(), RSA_PKCS1_null_method(), RSA_get_default_method() and RSA_get_method()
return pointers to the respective RSA_METHODs.
RSA_set_default_method() returns no value.
RSA_set_method() returns a pointer to the old RSA_METHOD implementation that was replaced.
However, this return value should probably be ignored because if it was supplied by an
ENGINE, the pointer could be invalidated at any time if the ENGINE is unloaded (in fact it
could be unloaded as a result of the RSA_set_method() function releasing its handle to the
ENGINE). For this reason, the return type may be replaced with a void declaration in a
future release.
RSA_new_method() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by
ERR_get_error(3) if the allocation fails. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly
allocated structure.
NOTES
As of version 0.9.7, RSA_METHOD implementations are grouped together with other
algorithmic APIs (eg. DSA_METHOD, EVP_CIPHER, etc) into ENGINE modules. If a default
ENGINE is specified for RSA functionality using an ENGINE API function, that will override
any RSA defaults set using the RSA API (ie. RSA_set_default_method()). For this reason,
the ENGINE API is the recommended way to control default implementations for use in RSA
and other cryptographic algorithms.
BUGS
The behaviour of RSA_flags() is a mis-feature that is left as-is for now to avoid creating
compatibility problems. RSA functionality, such as the encryption functions, are
controlled by the flags value in the RSA key itself, not by the flags value in the
RSA_METHOD attached to the RSA key (which is what this function returns). If the flags
element of an RSA key is changed, the changes will be honoured by RSA functionality but
will not be reflected in the return value of the RSA_flags() function - in effect
RSA_flags() behaves more like an RSA_default_flags() function (which does not currently
exist).

HISTORY
RSA_new_method() and RSA_set_default_method() appeared in SSLeay 0.8.
RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and RSA_get_method() as well as the rsa_sign
and rsa_verify components of RSA_METHOD were added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
RSA_set_default_openssl_method() and RSA_get_default_openssl_method() replaced
RSA_set_default_method() and RSA_get_default_method() respectively, and RSA_set_method()
and RSA_new_method() were altered to use ENGINEs rather than RSA_METHODs during
development of the engine version of OpenSSL 0.9.6. For 0.9.7, the handling of defaults in
the ENGINE API 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 ENGINE API now transparently overrides the behaviour of defaults in the RSA API
without requiring changing these function prototypes.
