NAME¶

RSA_size, RSA_bits, RSA_security_bits - get RSA modulus size or security bits

SYNOPSIS¶

 #include <openssl/rsa.h>
 int RSA_size(const RSA *rsa);
 int RSA_bits(const RSA *rsa);
 int RSA_security_bits(const RSA *rsa)

DESCRIPTION¶

RSA_size() returns the RSA modulus size in bytes. It can be used to determine how much memory must be allocated for an RSA encrypted value.

RSA_bits() returns the number of significant bits.

rsa and rsa->n must not be NULL.

RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given rsa key. See BN_security_bits(3).

RETURN VALUES¶

RSA_size() returns the size of modulus in bytes.

DSA_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.

RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.

SEE ALSO¶

BN_num_bits(3)

HISTORY¶

The RSA_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
