DESCRIPTION
These functions decode and encode RSA private and public keys. For details about the semantics, examples, caveats, and bugs, see ASN1_item_d2i(3).

d2i_RSAPublicKey() and i2d_RSAPublicKey() decode and encode a PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey structure defined in RFC 8017 appendix A.1.1. d2i_RSAPublicKey_bio(), d2i_RSAPublicKey_fp(), i2d_RSAPublicKey_bio(), and i2d_RSAPublicKey_fp() are similar except that they decode or encode using a BIO or FILE pointer.

d2i_RSAPrivateKey() and i2d_RSAPrivateKey() decode and encode a PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey structure defined in RFC 8017 appendix A.1.2. The RSA structure passed to the private key encoding functions should have all the PKCS#1 private key components present. The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted and therefore offers no private key security. d2i_RSAPrivateKey_bio(), d2i_RSAPrivateKey_fp(), i2d_RSAPrivateKey_bio(), and i2d_RSAPrivateKey_fp() are similar except that they decode or encode using a BIO or FILE pointer.

d2i_Netscape_RSA() and i2d_Netscape_RSA() decode and encode an RSA private key in NET format. These functions are present to provide compatibility with certain very old software. The NET format has some severe security weaknesses and should be avoided if possible.

d2i_RSA_PSS_PARAMS() and i2d_RSA_PSS_PARAMS() decode and encode a PKCS#1 RSASSA-PSS-params structure defined in RFC 8017 appendix A.2.3 and documented in RSA_PSS_PARAMS_new(3).

d2i_RSA_PUBKEY() and i2d_RSA_PUBKEY() decode and encode an RSA public key using an ASN.1 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1 and documented in X509_PUBKEY_new(3). d2i_RSA_PUBKEY_bio(), d2i_RSA_PUBKEY_fp(), i2d_RSA_PUBKEY_bio(), and i2d_RSA_PUBKEY_fp() are similar except that they decode or encode using a BIO or FILE pointer.

RETURN VALUES
d2i_RSAPublicKey(), d2i_RSAPublicKey_bio(), d2i_RSAPublicKey_fp(), d2i_RSAPrivateKey(), d2i_RSAPrivateKey_bio(), d2i_RSAPrivateKey_fp(), d2i_Netscape_RSA(), d2i_RSA_PUBKEY(), d2i_RSA_PUBKEY_bio(), and d2i_RSA_PUBKEY_fp() return a valid RSA object or NULL if an error occurs.

d2i_RSA_PSS_PARAMS() returns a valid RSA_PSS_PARAMS object or NULL if an error occurs.

i2d_RSAPublicKey(), i2d_RSAPrivateKey(), i2d_Netscape_RSA(), i2d_RSA_PSS_PARAMS(), and i2d_RSA_PUBKEY() return the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs.

i2d_RSAPublicKey_bio(), i2d_RSAPublicKey_fp(), i2d_RSAPrivateKey_bio(), i2d_RSAPrivateKey_fp(), i2d_RSA_PUBKEY_bio(), and i2d_RSA_PUBKEY_fp() return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurs.
