SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/rsa.h>


 RSA * RSA_new(void);


 void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);


 

DESCRIPTION

RSA_new() allocates and initializes an RSA structure.

RSA_free() frees the RSA structure and its components. The key is erased before the memory is returned to the system.  

RETURN VALUES

If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

RSA_free() returns no value.  

SEE ALSO
