It checks that B

and B are +RSA_check_key_ex() function validates RSA keys. +It checks that B

and B are in fact prime, and that B. +It does not work on RSA public keys that have only the modulus +and public exponent elements populated. It also checks that B, and that B, B and B are set correctly or are B. +It performs integrity checks on all +the RSA key material, so the RSA key structure must contain all the private +key data too. +Therefore, it cannot be used with any arbitrary RSA key object, +even if it is otherwise fit for regular RSA operation. + +The B parameter is a callback that will be invoked in the same +manner as L. -As such, this function can not be used with any arbitrary RSA key object, -even if it is otherwise fit for regular RSA operation. See B for more -information. +RSA_check_key() is equivalent to RSA_check_key_ex() with a NULL B. =head1 RETURN VALUE -RSA_check_key() returns 1 if B is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise. --1 is returned if an error occurs while checking the key. +RSA_check_key_ex() and RSA_check_key() +return 1 if B is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise. +They return -1 if an error occurs while checking the key.
