- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- \&\fBEVP_RSA_gen()\fR generates a new \s-1RSA\s0 key pair with modulus size \fIbits\fR.
- .PP
- All of the functions described below are deprecated.
- Applications should instead use \fBEVP_RSA_gen()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_Q_keygen\fR\|(3), or
- \&\fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen\fR\|(3).
- .PP
- \&\fBRSA_generate_key_ex()\fR generates a 2\-prime \s-1RSA\s0 key pair and stores it in the
- \&\fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR structure provided in \fIrsa\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBRSA_generate_multi_prime_key()\fR generates a multi-prime \s-1RSA\s0 key pair and stores
- it in the \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR structure provided in \fIrsa\fR. The number of primes is given by
- the \fIprimes\fR parameter.
- If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to
- external circumstances (see \s-1\fBRAND\s0\fR\|(7)), the operation will fail.
- .PP
- The modulus size will be of length \fIbits\fR, the number of primes to form the
- modulus will be \fIprimes\fR, and the public exponent will be \fIe\fR. Key sizes
- with \fInum\fR < 1024 should be considered insecure. The exponent is an odd
- number, typically 3, 17 or 65537.
- .PP
- In order to maintain adequate security level, the maximum number of permitted
- \&\fIprimes\fR depends on modulus bit length:
- .PP
- .Vb 3
- \& <1024 | >=1024 | >=4096 | >=8192
- \& \-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
- \& 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
- .Ve
- .PP
- A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the
- progress of the key generation. If \fIcb\fR is not \s-1NULL,\s0 it
- will be called as follows using the \fBBN_GENCB_call()\fR function
- described on the \fBBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) page.
- .PP
- \&\fBRSA_generate_key()\fR is similar to \fBRSA_generate_key_ex()\fR but
- expects an old-style callback function; see
- \&\fBBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) for information on the old-style callback.
- .IP "\(bu" 2
- While a random prime number is generated, it is called as
- described in \fBBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3).
- .IP "\(bu" 2
- When the n\-th randomly generated prime is rejected as not
- suitable for the key, \fIBN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, n)\fR is called.
- .IP "\(bu" 2
- When a random p has been found with p\-1 relatively prime to \fIe\fR,
- it is called as \fIBN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 0)\fR.
- .PP
- The process is then repeated for prime q and other primes (if any)
- with \fIBN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, i)\fR where \fIi\fR indicates the i\-th prime.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBEVP_RSA_gen()\fR returns an \fI\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR or \s-1NULL\s0 on failure.
- .PP
- \&\fBRSA_generate_multi_prime_key()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
- \&\fBRSA_generate_key_ex()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
- The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
- .PP
- \&\fBRSA_generate_key()\fR returns a pointer to the \s-1RSA\s0 structure or
- \&\s-1NULL\s0 if the key generation fails.
- .SH "BUGS"
- .IX Header "BUGS"
- \&\fIBN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, x)\fR is used with two different meanings.
