  2. =head1 NAME
  3. RSA_size, RSA_bits, RSA_security_bits - get RSA modulus size or security bits
  4. =head1 SYNOPSIS
  5. #include <openssl/rsa.h>
  6. int RSA_bits(const RSA *rsa);
  7. Deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, can be hidden entirely by defining
  8. B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, see
  9. L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
  10. int RSA_size(const RSA *rsa);
  11. int RSA_security_bits(const RSA *rsa);
  12. =head1 DESCRIPTION
  13. RSA_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
  14. B<rsa> and B<rsa-E<gt>n> must not be B<NULL>.
  15. The remaining functions described on this page are deprecated.
  16. Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_size(3)>, L<EVP_PKEY_bits(3)>
  17. and L<EVP_PKEY_security_bits(3)>.
  18. RSA_size() returns the RSA modulus size in bytes. It can be used to
  19. determine how much memory must be allocated for an RSA encrypted
  20. value.
  21. RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given B<rsa>
  22. key. See L<BN_security_bits(3)>.
  23. =head1 RETURN VALUES
  24. RSA_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.
  25. RSA_size() returns the size of modulus in bytes.
  26. RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.
  27. =head1 SEE ALSO
  28. L<BN_num_bits(3)>
  29. =head1 HISTORY
  30. The RSA_size() and RSA_security_bits() functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
  31. The RSA_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
