D2I_RSAPUBLICKEY(3) OpenSSL D2I_RSAPUBLICKEY(3)NAME
d2i_RSAPublicKey, i2d_RSAPublicKey, d2i_RSAPrivateKey,
i2d_RSAPrivateKey, d2i_RSA_PUBKEY, i2d_RSA_PUBKEY,
i2d_Netscape_RSA, d2i_Netscape_RSA - RSA public and private
key encoding functions.
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
#include <openssl/x509.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)());
DESCRIPTIONd2i_RSAPublicKey() and i2d_RSAPublicKey() decode and encode
a PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey structure.
d2i_RSA_PUBKEY() and i2d_RSA_PUBKEY() 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 func-
tions should have all the PKCS#1 private key components
present.
The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted
and therefore offers no private key security.

The NET format functions are present to provide compatibil-
ity with certain very old software. This format has some
severe security weaknesses and should be avoided if possi-
ble.
