=head1 NAME
EVP_RSA_gen,
RSA_generate_key_ex, RSA_generate_key,
RSA_generate_multi_prime_key - generate RSA key pair
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
EVP_PKEY *EVP_RSA_gen(unsigned int bits);
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
int RSA_generate_key_ex(RSA *rsa, int bits, BIGNUM *e, BN_GENCB *cb);
int RSA_generate_multi_prime_key(RSA *rsa, int bits, int primes, BIGNUM *e, BN_GENCB *cb);
The following function has been deprecated since OpenSSL 0.9.8, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
RSA *RSA_generate_key(int bits, unsigned long e,
void (*callback)(int, int, void *), void *cb_arg);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
EVP_RSA_gen() generates a new RSA key pair with modulus size I<bits>.
All of the functions described below are deprecated.
Applications should instead use EVP_RSA_gen(), L<EVP_PKEY_Q_keygen(3)>, or
L<EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_keygen(3)>.
RSA_generate_key_ex() generates a 2-prime RSA key pair and stores it in the
B<RSA> structure provided in I<rsa>.
RSA_generate_multi_prime_key() generates a multi-prime RSA key pair and stores
it in the B<RSA> structure provided in I<rsa>. The number of primes is given by
the I<primes> parameter.
If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to
external circumstances (see L<RAND(7)>), the operation will fail.
The modulus size will be of length I<bits>, the number of primes to form the
modulus will be I<primes>, and the public exponent will be I<e>. Key sizes
with I<num> E<lt> 1024 should be considered insecure. The exponent is an odd
number, typically 3, 17 or 65537.
In order to maintain adequate security level, the maximum number of permitted
I<primes> depends on modulus bit length:
<1024 | >=1024 | >=4096 | >=8192
------+--------+--------+-------
2 | 3 | 4 | 5
A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the
progress of the key generation. If I<cb> is not NULL, it
will be called as follows using the BN_GENCB_call() function
described on the L<BN_generate_prime(3)> page.
RSA_generate_key() is similar to RSA_generate_key_ex() but
expects an old-style callback function; see
L<BN_generate_prime(3)> for information on the old-style callback.
=over 2
=item *
While a random prime number is generated, it is called as
described in L<BN_generate_prime(3)>.
=item *
When the n-th randomly generated prime is rejected as not
suitable for the key, I<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, n)> is called.
=item *
When a random p has been found with p-1 relatively prime to I<e>,
it is called as I<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 0)>.
=back
The process is then repeated for prime q and other primes (if any)
with I<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, i)> where I<i> indicates the i-th prime.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
EVP_RSA_gen() returns an I<EVP_PKEY> or NULL on failure.
RSA_generate_multi_prime_key() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
RSA_generate_key_ex() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
RSA_generate_key() returns a pointer to the RSA structure or
NULL if the key generation fails.
=head1 BUGS
I<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, x)> is used with two different meanings.

=head1 HISTORY
EVP_RSA_gen() was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
All other functions described here were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
For replacement see L<EVP_PKEY-RSA(7)>.
