d2i_RSAPublicKey(3)                 OpenSSL                d2i_RSAPublicKey(3)



NAME
       d2i_RSAPublicKey, i2d_RSAPublicKey, d2i_RSAPrivateKey, i2d_RSAPri-
       vateKey, d2i_RSA_PUBKEY, i2d_RSA_PUBKEY, i2d_Netscape_RSA,
       d2i_Netscape_RSA - RSA public and private key encoding functions.

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/rsa.h>

        RSA * d2i_RSAPublicKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

        int i2d_RSAPublicKey(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

        RSA * d2i_RSA_PUBKEY(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

        int i2d_RSA_PUBKEY(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

        RSA * d2i_RSAPrivateKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

        int i2d_RSAPrivateKey(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

        int i2d_Netscape_RSA(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp, int (*cb)());

        RSA * d2i_Netscape_RSA(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length, int (*cb)());

DESCRIPTION
       d2i_RSAPublicKey() and i2d_RSAPublicKey() decode and encode a PKCS#1
       RSAPublicKey structure.

       d2i_RSA_PUKEY() and i2d_RSA_PUKEY() decode and encode an RSA public key
       using a SubjectPublicKeyInfo (certificate public key) structure.

       d2i_RSAPrivateKey(), i2d_RSAPrivateKey() decode and encode a PKCS#1
       RSAPrivateKey structure.

       d2i_Netscape_RSA(), i2d_Netscape_RSA() decode and encode an RSA private
       key in NET format.

       The usage of all of these functions is similar to the d2i_X509() and
       i2d_X509() described in the d2i_X509(3) manual page.

NOTES
       The RSA structure passed to the private key encoding functions should
       have all the PKCS#1 private key components present.

       The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted and there-
       fore offers no private key security.

       The NET format functions are present to provide compatibility with cer-
       tain very old software. This format has some severe security weaknesses
       and should be avoided if possible.
