RSA_new, RSA_free ? allocate and free RSA objects |
#include <openssl/rsa.h> RSA * RSA_new(void); void RSA_free(RSA *rsa); |
RSA_new() allocates and initializes an RSA structure. RSA_free() frees the RSA structure and its components. The key is erased before the memory is returned to the system. |
If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns NULL 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. |
err(3), rsa(3), RSA_generate_key(3) |
RSA_new() and RSA_free() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. |
