NAME

6       RSA_size, RSA_bits, RSA_security_bits - get RSA modulus size or
7       security bits
8

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <openssl/rsa.h>
11
12        int RSA_size(const RSA *rsa);
13
14        int RSA_bits(const RSA *rsa);
15
16        int RSA_security_bits(const RSA *rsa)
17

DESCRIPTION

19       RSA_size() returns the RSA modulus size in bytes. It can be used to
20       determine how much memory must be allocated for an RSA encrypted value.
21
22       RSA_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
23
24       rsa and rsa->n must not be NULL.
25
26       RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given
27       rsa key. See BN_security_bits(3).
28

RETURN VALUES

30       RSA_size() returns the size of modulus in bytes.
31
32       DSA_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.
33
34       RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.
