=head1 NAME

EVP_PKEY-RSA, EVP_KEYMGMT-RSA, RSA
- EVP_PKEY RSA keytype and algorithm support

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<RSA> keytype is implemented in OpenSSL's default and FIPS providers.
That implementation supports the basic RSA keys, containing the modulus I<n>,
the public exponent I<e>, the private exponent I<d>, and a collection of prime
factors, exponents and coefficient for CRT calculations, of which the first
few are known as I<p> and I<q>, I<dP> and I<dQ>, and I<qInv>.

=head2 Common RSA parameters

In addition to the common parameters that all keytypes should support (see
L<provider-keymgmt(7)/Common parameters>), the B<RSA> keytype implementation
supports the following.

=over 4

=item "n" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_N>) <unsigned integer>

The RSA "n" value.

The RSA "e" value.

=item "d" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_D>) <unsigned integer>

The RSA "d" value.

=item "rsa-factor10" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_FACTOR10>) <unsigned integer>

RSA prime factors. The factors are known as "p", "q" and "r_i" in RFC8017.
Up to eight additional "r_i" prime factors are supported.

=item "rsa-exponent4" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_EXPONENT4>) <unsigned integer>

=item "rsa-exponent5" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_EXPONENT5>) <unsigned integer>

=item "rsa-exponent6" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_EXPONENT6>) <unsigned integer>

=item "rsa-exponent7" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_EXPONENT7>) <unsigned integer>

=item "rsa-exponent8" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_EXPONENT8>) <unsigned integer>

=item "rsa-exponent10" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_EXPONENT10>) <unsigned integer>

RSA CRT (Chinese Remainder Theorem) exponents. The exponents are known
as "dP", "dQ" and "d_i in RFC8017".
Up to eight additional "d_i" exponents are supported.

=item "rsa-coefficient1" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_COEFFICIENT1>) <unsigned integer>

=item "rsa-coefficient2" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_COEFFICIENT2>) <unsigned integer>

=item "rsa-coefficient9" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_COEFFICIENT9>) <unsigned integer>

RSA CRT (Chinese Remainder Theorem) coefficients. The coefficients are known as
"qInv" and "t_i".
Up to eight additional "t_i" exponents are supported.

=head2 RSA key generation parameters

When generating RSA keys, the following key generation parameters may be used.

=over 4

=item "bits" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_BITS>) <unsigned integer>

The value should be the cryptographic length for the B<RSA> cryptosystem, in
bits.

=item "primes" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_PRIMES>) <unsigned integer>

The value should be the number of primes for the generated B<RSA> key.  The
default is 2.  It isn't permitted to specify a larger number of primes than
10.  Additionally, the number of primes is limited by the length of the key
being generated so the maximum number could be less.
Some providers may only support a value of 2.

=head1 CONFORMING TO

=over 4

=item RFC 8017, excluding RSA-PSS and RSA-OAEP

=for comment RSA-PSS, and probably also RSA-OAEP, need separate keytypes,
and will be described in separate pages for those RSA keytypes.

=head1 EXAMPLES

An B<EVP_PKEY> context can be obtained by calling:

    EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
        EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "RSA", NULL);

An B<RSA> key can be generated like this:

    EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
    EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
        EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "RSA", NULL);

    EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
    EVP_PKEY_gen(pctx, &pkey);
    EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);

An B<RSA> key can be generated with key generation parameters:

    unsigned int primes = 3;
    unsigned int bits = 4096;
    OSSL_PARAM params[3];
    EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
    EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "RSA", NULL);

    EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);

    params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint("bits", &bits);
    params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint("primes", &primes);
    params[2] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
    EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(pctx, params);

    EVP_PKEY_gen(pctx, &pkey);
    EVP_PKEY_print_private(bio_out, pkey, 0, NULL);
    EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
