92.Sh DESCRIPTION
93An
94.Vt RSA_METHOD
95object contains pointers to the functions used for RSA operations.
96By default, the internal implementation returned by
97.Fn RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay
98is used.
99By selecting another method, alternative implementations
100such as hardware accelerators may be used.
101.Pp
102.Fn RSA_set_default_method
103selects
104.Fa meth
105as the default method for all
106.Vt RSA
107structures created later.
108.Pp
109.Fn RSA_get_default_method
110returns a pointer to the current default method.
111.Pp
112.Fn RSA_set_method
113selects
114.Fa meth
115to perform all operations using the key
116.Fa rsa .
117This replaces the previous
118.Vt RSA_METHOD
119used by the RSA key, calling the
120.Fa finish
121function set up with
122.Xr RSA_meth_set_finish 3
123if any.
124If
125.Fa meth
126contains an
127.Fa init
128function set up with
129.Xr RSA_meth_set_init 3 ,
130that function is called just before returning from
131.Fn RSA_set_method .
132.Pp
133It is possible to have RSA keys that only work with certain
134.Vt RSA_METHOD
135implementations,
136and in such cases attempting to change the
137.Vt RSA_METHOD
138for the key can have unexpected results.
139.Pp
140.Fn RSA_get_method
141returns a pointer to the
142.Vt RSA_METHOD
143being used by
144.Fa rsa .
145.Pp
146The misleadingly named function
147.Fn RSA_flags
148returns the flags that are set for the current
149.Vt RSA_METHOD
150of
151.Fa rsa .
152The flags used by
153.Fa rsa
154itself can instead be tested with
155.Xr RSA_test_flags 3 .
156See the
157.Sx BUGS
158section for more details.
159.Pp
160.Fn RSA_new_method
161allocates and initializes an
162.Vt RSA
163structure.
164The
165.Fa engine
166argument is ignored and
167the default method controlled by
168.Fn RSA_set_default_method
169is used.
170.Pp
171The initial
172.Fa flags
173are copied from the
174.Vt RSA_METHOD
175object used and will not be affected by later changes to that object,
176but may be modified by the optional
177.Fa init
178function which may have been set up with
179.Xr RSA_meth_set_init 3
180and which is called just before returning from
181.Fn RSA_new_method .
182.Sh RETURN VALUES
183.Fn RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay ,
184.Fn RSA_get_default_method ,
185and
186.Fn RSA_get_method
187return pointers to the respective
188.Vt RSA_METHOD .
189.Pp
190.Fn RSA_set_method
191returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
192Currently, it cannot fail.
193.Pp
194.Fn RSA_new_method
195returns
196.Dv NULL
197and sets an error code that can be obtained by
198.Xr ERR_get_error 3
199if the allocation fails.
200Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

205.Fn RSA_set_default_method ,
206.Fn RSA_PKCS1_SSLeay ,
207and
208.Fn RSA_new_method
209first appeared in SSLeay 0.8.0.
210.Fn RSA_flags
211first appeared in SSLeay 0.9.0.
212These functions have been available since
213.Ox 2.4 .
214.Pp
215.Fn RSA_get_default_method ,
216.Fn RSA_set_method ,
217and
218.Fn RSA_get_method
219as well as the
220.Fa rsa_sign
221and
222.Fa rsa_verify
223components of
224.Vt RSA_METHOD
225first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.4 and have been available since
226.Ox 2.6 .
227.Sh BUGS
228The behaviour of
229.Fn RSA_flags
230is a misfeature that is left as-is for now to avoid creating
231compatibility problems.
232RSA functionality, such as the encryption functions, are controlled by
233the
234.Fa flags
235value in the
236.Vt RSA
237key itself, not by the
238.Fa flags
239value in the
240.Vt RSA_METHOD
241attached to the RSA key (which is what this function returns).
242If the flags element of an
243.Vt RSA
244key is changed, the changes will be honoured by RSA functionality
245but will not be reflected in the return value of the
246.Fn RSA_flags
247function - in effect
248.Fn RSA_flags
249behaves more like an
250.Fn RSA_default_flags
251function, which does not
252currently exist.
