     RSA_new() allocates and initializes an RRRRSSSSAAAA structure. It is
     equivalent to calling RSA_new_method(NULL).

     RSA_free() frees the RRRRSSSSAAAA structure and its components. The
     key is erased before the memory is returned to the system.

     If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL and sets an
     error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
     Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated
     structure.

     RSA_free() returns no value.

     RSA_new() and RSA_free() are available in all versions of
     SSLeay and OpenSSL.
