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 B API calls. + +Initially, the default RSA_METHOD is the OpenSSL internal implementation, +as returned by RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay(). + +RSA_set_default_method() makes B the default method for all RSA +structures created later. B: 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 B to perform all operations using the key +B. 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 B. +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 B that are set for B's current +RSA_METHOD. See the BUGS section. + +RSA_new_method() allocates and initializes an RSA structure so that +B will be used for the RSA operations. If B 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 B that are set for B's current method. + +RSA_new_method() allocates and initializes an B structure so that +B will be used for the RSA operations. If B is B, +the default method is used. + +=head1 THE RSA_METHOD STRUCTURE + + typedef struct rsa_meth_st + { + /* name of the implementation */ + const char *name; + + /* encrypt */ + int (*rsa_pub_enc)(int flen, unsigned char *from, + unsigned char *to, RSA *rsa, int padding); + + /* verify arbitrary data */ + int (*rsa_pub_dec)(int flen, unsigned char *from, + unsigned char *to, RSA *rsa, int padding); + + /* sign arbitrary data */ + int (*rsa_priv_enc)(int flen, unsigned char *from, + unsigned char *to, RSA *rsa, int padding); + + /* decrypt */ + int (*rsa_priv_dec)(int flen, unsigned char *from, + unsigned char *to, RSA *rsa, int padding); + + /* compute r0 = r0 ^ I mod rsa->n (May be NULL for some + implementations) */ + int (*rsa_mod_exp)(BIGNUM *r0, BIGNUM *I, RSA *rsa); + + /* compute r = a ^ p mod m (May be NULL for some implementations) */ + int (*bn_mod_exp)(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *p, + const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx, BN_MONT_CTX *m_ctx); + + /* called at RSA_new */ + int (*init)(RSA *rsa); + + /* called at RSA_free */ + int (*finish)(RSA *rsa); + + /* RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY - rsa_mod_exp is called for private key + * operations, even if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp + * are NULL + * RSA_FLAG_SIGN_VER - enable rsa_sign and rsa_verify + * RSA_METHOD_FLAG_NO_CHECK - don't check pub/private match + */ + int flags; + + char *app_data; /* ?? */ + + /* sign.

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 B +declaration in a future release. + +RSA_new_method() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained +by L if the allocation fails. Otherwise +it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. + +=head1 NOTES + +As of version 0.9.7, RSA_METHOD implementations are grouped together with +other algorithmic APIs (eg. DSA_METHOD, EVP_CIPHER, etc) into B +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. + +=head1 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 B value in the RSA key +itself, not by the B 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). + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L + +=head1 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 +Bs rather than Bs 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. + +=cut -- cgit v1.2.3
