RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt \- low\-level signature operations

.PP
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining \fBOPENSSL_API_COMPAT\fR with a suitable version value,
see \fBopenssl_user_macros\fR\|(7):

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Both of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use \fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init_ex\fR\|(3),
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init\fR\|(3), and
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover\fR\|(3).
.PP
These functions handle RSA signatures at a low-level.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_private_encrypt()\fR signs the \fBflen\fR bytes at \fBfrom\fR (usually a
message digest with an algorithm identifier) using the private key
\&\fBrsa\fR and stores the signature in \fBto\fR. \fBto\fR must point to
\&\fBRSA_size(rsa)\fR bytes of memory.
.PP
\&\fBpadding\fR denotes one of the following modes:
.IP RSA_PKCS1_PADDING 4
.IX Item "RSA_PKCS1_PADDING"
PKCS #1 v1.5 padding. This function does not handle the
\&\fBalgorithmIdentifier\fR specified in PKCS #1. When generating or
verifying PKCS #1 signatures, \fBRSA_sign\fR\|(3) and \fBRSA_verify\fR\|(3) should be
used.
.IP RSA_NO_PADDING 4
.IX Item "RSA_NO_PADDING"
Raw RSA signature. This mode should \fIonly\fR be used to implement
cryptographically sound padding modes in the application code.
Signing user data directly with RSA is insecure.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_public_decrypt()\fR recovers the message digest from the \fBflen\fR
bytes long signature at \fBfrom\fR using the signer's public key
\&\fBrsa\fR. \fBto\fR must point to a memory section large enough to hold the
message digest (which is smaller than \fBRSA_size(rsa) \-
11\fR). \fBpadding\fR is the padding mode that was used to sign the data.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBRSA_private_encrypt()\fR returns the size of the signature (i.e.,
RSA_size(rsa)). \fBRSA_public_decrypt()\fR returns the size of the
recovered message digest.
.PP
On error, \-1 is returned; the error codes can be
obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
\&\fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3),
\&\fBRSA_sign\fR\|(3), \fBRSA_verify\fR\|(3),
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover\fR\|(3)

Both of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
