Feh, wrong vendor branch merge proceedure, clean up before trying again.

The pseudo-random number generator must -be seeded prior to calling RSA_generate_key(). - -The modulus size will be B<num> bits, and the public exponent will be -B<e>. Key sizes with B<num> E<lt> 1024 should be considered insecure. -The exponent is an odd number, typically 3, 17 or 65537. - -A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the -progress of the key generation. If B<callback> is not B<NULL>, it -will be called as follows: - -=over 4 - -=item * - -While a random prime number is generated, it is called as -described in L<BN_generate_prime(3)|BN_generate_prime(3)>. - -=item * - -When the n-th randomly generated prime is rejected as not -suitable for the key, B<callback(2, n, cb_arg)> is called. - -=item * - -When a random p has been found with p-1 relatively prime to B<e>, -it is called as B<callback(3, 0, cb_arg)>. - -=back - -The process is then repeated for prime q with B<callback(3, 1, cb_arg)>. - -=head1 RETURN VALUE - -If key generation fails, RSA_generate_key() returns B<NULL>; the -error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>. - -=head1 BUGS - -B<callback(2, x, cb_arg)> is used with two different meanings. - -RSA_generate_key() goes into an infinite loop for illegal input values. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<rand(3)|rand(3)>, L<rsa(3)|rsa(3)>, -L<RSA_free(3)|RSA_free(3)> - -=head1 HISTORY - -The B<cb_arg> argument was added in SSLeay 0.9.0. - -=cut |
