......@@ -28,12 +28,21 @@ RSA_check_key() returns 1 if B<rsa> is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise.
If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
obtained using L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 NOTES
RSA_check_key() can only check soft keys. If given hard keys, i.e. keys
that were retreived from an ENGINE (with ENGINE_load_private_key()),
RSA_check_key() will always return 0, as if the key was invalid. The
reason is that the private components B<p>, B<q> and B<d> are normally
not available to OpenSSL for hard keys, and the checks can therefore not
be done.
