.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBRSA\fR keytype is implemented in OpenSSL's default and FIPS providers.
That implementation supports the basic RSA keys, containing the modulus \fIn\fR,
the public exponent \fIe\fR, the private exponent \fId\fR, and a collection of prime
factors, exponents and coefficient for CRT calculations, of which the first
few are known as \fIp\fR and \fIq\fR, \fIdP\fR and \fIdQ\fR, and \fIqInv\fR.
.SS "Common RSA parameters"
.IX Subsection "Common RSA parameters"
In addition to the common parameters that all keytypes should support (see
"Common parameters" in \fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)), the \fBRSA\fR keytype implementation
supports the following.
.IP """n"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_N\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4

The RSA public exponent "e" value.
This value must always be set when creating a raw key using \fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata\fR\|(3).

blinding purposes to prevent timing attacks.

.SS "RSA key generation parameters"
.IX Subsection "RSA key generation parameters"
When generating RSA keys, the following key generation parameters may be used.
.IP """bits"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_BITS\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """bits"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_BITS) <unsigned integer>"
The value should be the cryptographic length for the \fBRSA\fR cryptosystem, in
bits.
.IP """primes"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_PRIMES\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """primes"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_PRIMES) <unsigned integer>"
The value should be the number of primes for the generated \fBRSA\fR key.  The
default is 2.  It isn't permitted to specify a larger number of primes than
10.  Additionally, the number of primes is limited by the length of the key
being generated so the maximum number could be less.
Some providers may only support a value of 2.
.IP """e"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_E\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """e"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_E) <unsigned integer>"
The RSA "e" value. The value may be any odd number greater than or equal to
65537. The default value is 65537.
For legacy reasons a value of 3 is currently accepted but is deprecated.
.IP """rsa-derive-from-pq""  (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_DERIVE_FROM_PQ\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """rsa-derive-from-pq"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_DERIVE_FROM_PQ) <unsigned integer>"
Indicate that missing parameters not passed in the parameter list should be
derived if not provided.  Setting a nonzero value will cause all
needed exponents and coefficients to be derived if not available.  Setting this
option requires at least OSSL_PARAM_RSA_FACTOR1, OSSL_PARAM_RSA_FACTOR2,
and OSSL_PARAM_RSA_N to be provided.  This option is ignored if
OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_PRIVATE_KEY is not set in the selection parameter.
.SS "RSA key generation parameters for FIPS module testing"
.IX Subsection "RSA key generation parameters for FIPS module testing"
When generating RSA keys, the following additional key generation parameters may
be used for algorithm testing purposes only. Do not use these to generate
RSA keys for a production environment.
.IP """xp"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_TEST_XP\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """xp"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_TEST_XP) <unsigned integer>"

"q".

These 4 fields are normally randomly generated. The prime factors "p1", "p2",
"q1" and "q2" are determined from these values.
.SS "RSA key parameters for FIPS module testing"
.IX Subsection "RSA key parameters for FIPS module testing"
The following intermediate values can be retrieved only if the values
specified in "RSA key generation parameters for FIPS module testing" are set.
These should not be accessed in a production environment.

.SS "RSA key validation"
.IX Subsection "RSA key validation"
For RSA keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check_quick\fR\|(3)
both return 1 unconditionally.
.PP
For RSA keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check\fR\|(3) conforms to the SP800\-56Br1 \fIpublic key
check\fR when the OpenSSL FIPS provider is used. The OpenSSL default provider
performs similar tests but relaxes the keysize restrictions for backwards
compatibility.
.PP
For RSA keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check_quick\fR\|(3) is the same as
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_public_check\fR\|(3).
.PP
For RSA keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_private_check\fR\|(3) conforms to the SP800\-56Br1
\&\fIprivate key test\fR.
.PP
For RSA keys, \fBEVP_PKEY_pairwise_check\fR\|(3) conforms to the
SP800\-56Br1 \fIKeyPair Validation check\fR for the OpenSSL FIPS provider. The
OpenSSL default provider allows testing of the validity of multi-primes.
