=head1 NAME

RSA_check_key - Validate RSA keys

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/rsa.h>

 int RSA_check_key(RSA *rsa);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This function validates RSA keys. It checks that B<p> and B<q> are
in fact prime, and that B<n = p*q>.

In the case of private keys, it also checks that B<d*e = 1 mod (p-1*q-1)>,
and that B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> are set correctly or are B<NULL>.

The key's public components may not be B<NULL>.

=head1 RETURN VALUE

RSA_check_key() returns 1 if B<rsa> is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise.
-1 is returned if an error occurs while checking the key.

If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
obtained using ERR_get_error(3).

=head1 HISTORY

RSA_check() appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
