=head1 NAME
RSA_generate_key_ex, RSA_generate_key,
RSA_generate_multi_prime_key - generate RSA key pair
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
int RSA_generate_key_ex(RSA *rsa, int bits, BIGNUM *e, BN_GENCB *cb);
int RSA_generate_multi_prime_key(RSA *rsa, int bits, int primes, BIGNUM *e, BN_GENCB *cb);
Deprecated:
#if OPENSSL_API_COMPAT < 0x00908000L
RSA *RSA_generate_key(int num, unsigned long e,
void (*callback)(int, int, void *), void *cb_arg);
#endif
=head1 DESCRIPTION
RSA_generate_key_ex() generates a 2-prime RSA key pair and stores it in the
B<RSA> structure provided in B<rsa>. The pseudo-random number generator must
be seeded prior to calling RSA_generate_key_ex().
RSA_generate_multi_prime_key() generates a multi-prime RSA key pair and stores
it in the B<RSA> structure provided in B<rsa>. The number of primes is given by
the B<primes> parameter. The pseudo-random number generator must be seeded prior
to calling RSA_generate_multi_prime_key().
The modulus size will be of length B<bits>, the number of primes to form the
modulus will be B<primes>, 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.
In order to maintain adequate security level, the maximum number of permitted
B<primes> depends on modulus bit length:
<1024 | >=1024 | >=4096 | >=8192
------+--------+--------+-------
2 | 3 | 4 | 5
A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the
progress of the key generation. If B<cb> is not B<NULL>, it
will be called as follows using the BN_GENCB_call() function
described on the L<BN_generate_prime(3)> page.
RSA_generate_prime() is similar to RSA_generate_prime_ex() but
expects an old-style callback function; see
L<BN_generate_prime(3)> for information on the old-style callback.
=over 2
=item *
While a random prime number is generated, it is called as
described in L<BN_generate_prime(3)>.
=item *
When the n-th randomly generated prime is rejected as not
suitable for the key, B<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, n)> is called.
=item *
When a random p has been found with p-1 relatively prime to B<e>,
it is called as B<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 0)>.
=back
The process is then repeated for prime q and other primes (if any)
with B<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, i)> where B<i> indicates the i-th prime.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
RSA_generate_multi_prime_key() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
RSA_generate_key_ex() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
RSA_generate_key() returns a pointer to the RSA structure or
B<NULL> if the key generation fails.
=head1 BUGS
B<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, x)> is used with two different meanings.

=head1 HISTORY
RSA_generate_key() was deprecated in OpenSSL 0.9.8; use
RSA_generate_key_ex() intsead.
