DESCRIPTION¶

The function RSA_pkey_ctx_ctrl() is a shallow wrapper around EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl(3) which only succeeds if ctx matches either EVP_PKEY_RSA or EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS.

All the remaining "functions" are implemented as macros.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding() macro sets the RSA padding mode for ctx. The pad parameter can take the value RSA_PKCS1_PADDING for PKCS#1 padding, RSA_NO_PADDING for no padding, RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING for OAEP padding (encrypt and decrypt only), RSA_X931_PADDING for X9.31 padding (signature operations only) and RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING (sign and verify only). Only the last one can be used with keys of the type EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS.

Two RSA padding modes behave differently if EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md(3) is used. If this macro is called for PKCS#1 padding, the plaintext buffer is an actual digest value and is encapsulated in a DigestInfo structure according to PKCS#1 when signing and this structure is expected (and stripped off) when verifying. If this control is not used with RSA and PKCS#1 padding then the supplied data is used directly and not encapsulated. In the case of X9.31 padding for RSA the algorithm identifier byte is added or checked and removed if this control is called. If it is not called then the first byte of the plaintext buffer is expected to be the algorithm identifier byte.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_rsa_padding() macro retrieves the RSA padding mode for ctx.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_bits() macro sets the RSA key length for RSA or RSA-PSS key generation to mbits. The smallest supported value is 512 bits. If not specified, 1024 bits is used.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp() macro sets the public exponent value for RSA or RSA-PSS key generation to pubexp. Currently, it should be an odd integer. The pubexp pointer is used internally by this function, so it should not be modified or freed after the call. If this macro is not called, then 65537 is used.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_mgf1_md() macro sets the MGF1 digest for RSA padding schemes to md. Unless explicitly specified, the signing digest is used. The padding mode must have been set to RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING or RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING. If the key is of the type EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS and has usage restrictions, an error occurs if an attempt is made to set the digest to anything other than the restricted value.

The EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_rsa_mgf1_md() macro retrieves the MGF1 digest for ctx. Unless explicitly specified, the signing digest is used. The padding mode must have been set to RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING or RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING.

RETURN VALUES¶

These functions return a positive value for success or 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular, a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
