+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+An B<RSA_METHOD> specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for RSA
+operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
+such as hardware accelerators may be used.
+
+Initially, the default is to use the OpenSSL internal implementation,
+unless OpenSSL was configured with the C<rsaref> or C<-DRSA_NULL>
+options. RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay() returns a pointer to that method.
+
+RSA_PKCS1_RSAref() returns a pointer to a method that uses the RSAref
+library. This is the default method in the C<rsaref> configuration;
+the function is not available in other configurations.
+RSA_null_method() returns a pointer to a method that does not support
+the RSA transformation. It is the default if OpenSSL is compiled with
+C<-DRSA_NULL>. These methods may be useful in the USA because of a
+patent on the RSA cryptosystem.
+
+RSA_set_default_method() makes B<meth> the default method for all B<RSA>
+structures created later.
+
+RSA_get_default_method() returns a pointer to the current default
+method.
+
+RSA_set_method() selects B<meth> for all operations using the key
+B<rsa>.
+
+RSA_get_method() returns a pointer to the method currently selected
+for B<rsa>.
+
+RSA_flags() returns the B<flags> that are set for B<rsa>'s current method.
+
+RSA_new_method() allocates and initializes an B<RSA> structure so that
+B<method> will be used for the RSA operations. If B<method> is B<NULL>,
+the default method is used.

+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay(), RSA_PKCS1_RSAref(), RSA_PKCS1_null_method(),
+RSA_get_default_method() and RSA_get_method() return pointers to the
+respective B<RSA_METHOD>s.
+
+RSA_set_default_method() returns no value.
+
+RSA_set_method() returns a pointer to the B<RSA_METHOD> previously
+associated with B<rsa>.
+
+RSA_new_method() returns B<NULL> and sets an error code that can be
+obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)> if the allocation fails. Otherwise it
+returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+RSA_new_method() and RSA_set_default_method() appeared in SSLeay 0.8.
+RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and RSA_get_method() as
+well as the rsa_sign and rsa_verify components of RSA_METHOD were
+added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
