1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt - low-level signature operations 6 7=head1 SYNOPSIS 8 9 #include <openssl/rsa.h> 10 11The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be 12hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, 13see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>: 14 15 int RSA_private_encrypt(int flen, unsigned char *from, 16 unsigned char *to, RSA *rsa, int padding); 17 18 int RSA_public_decrypt(int flen, unsigned char *from, 19 unsigned char *to, RSA *rsa, int padding); 20 21=head1 DESCRIPTION 22 23Both of the functions described on this page are deprecated. 24Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_sign_init_ex(3)>, 25L<EVP_PKEY_sign(3)>, L<EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init(3)>, and 26L<EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(3)>. 27 28These functions handle RSA signatures at a low-level. 29 30RSA_private_encrypt() signs the B<flen> bytes at B<from> (usually a 31message digest with an algorithm identifier) using the private key 32B<rsa> and stores the signature in B<to>. B<to> must point to 33B<RSA_size(rsa)> bytes of memory. 34 35B<padding> denotes one of the following modes: 36 37=over 4 38 39=item RSA_PKCS1_PADDING 40 41PKCS #1 v1.5 padding. This function does not handle the 42B<algorithmIdentifier> specified in PKCS #1. When generating or 43verifying PKCS #1 signatures, L<RSA_sign(3)> and L<RSA_verify(3)> should be 44used. 45 46=item RSA_NO_PADDING 47 48Raw RSA signature. This mode should I<only> be used to implement 49cryptographically sound padding modes in the application code. 50Signing user data directly with RSA is insecure. 51 52=back 53 54RSA_public_decrypt() recovers the message digest from the B<flen> 55bytes long signature at B<from> using the signer's public key 56B<rsa>. B<to> must point to a memory section large enough to hold the 57message digest (which is smaller than B<RSA_size(rsa) - 5811>). B<padding> is the padding mode that was used to sign the data. 59 60=head1 RETURN VALUES 61 62RSA_private_encrypt() returns the size of the signature (i.e., 63RSA_size(rsa)). RSA_public_decrypt() returns the size of the 64recovered message digest. 65 66On error, -1 is returned; the error codes can be 67obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. 68 69=head1 SEE ALSO 70 71L<ERR_get_error(3)>, 72L<RSA_sign(3)>, L<RSA_verify(3)>, 73L<EVP_PKEY_sign(3)>, L<EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(3)> 74 75=head1 HISTORY 76 77Both of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. 78 79=head1 COPYRIGHT 80 81Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
