NAME
       d2iRSAPublicKey, i2dRSAPublicKey, d2iRSAPrivateKey,
       i2dRSAPrivateKey, d2iRSAPUBKEY, i2dRSAPUBKEY, i2dNetscapeRSA,
       d2iNetscapeRSA - RSA public and private key encoding functions.

SYNOPSIS
        #include 
        #include 

        RSA * d2iRSAPublicKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

        int i2dRSAPublicKey(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

        RSA * d2iRSAPUBKEY(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

        int i2dRSAPUBKEY(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

        RSA * d2iRSAPrivateKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);

        int i2dRSAPrivateKey(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);

        int i2dNetscapeRSA(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp, int (*cb)());

        RSA * d2iNetscapeRSA(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length, int (*cb)());

DESCRIPTION
       d2iRSAPublicKey() and i2dRSAPublicKey() decode and encode a PKCS#1
       RSAPublicKey structure.

       d2iRSAPUBKEY() and i2dRSAPUBKEY() decode and encode an RSA public
       key using a SubjectPublicKeyInfo (certificate public key) structure.

       d2iRSAPrivateKey(), i2dRSAPrivateKey() decode and encode a PKCS#1
       RSAPrivateKey structure.

       d2iNetscapeRSA(), i2dNetscapeRSA() decode and encode an RSA private
       key in NET format.

       The usage of all of these functions is similar to the d2iX509() and
       i2dX509() described in the d2iX509(3) manual page.

NNOOTTEESS
       The RRSSAA structure passed to the private key encoding functions should
       have all the PKCS#1 private key components present.

       The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted and
       therefore offers no private key security.

       The NET format functions are present to provide compatibility with
       certain very old software. This format has some severe security
       weaknesses and should be avoided if possible.
