=head1 NAME
RSA_check_key - validate private RSA keys
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
int RSA_check_key(RSA *rsa);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This function validates RSA keys. It checks that B<p> and B<q> are
in fact prime, and that B<n = p*q>.
It also checks that B<d*e = 1 mod (p-1*q-1)>,
and that B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> are set correctly or are B<NULL>.
The key's public components may not be B<NULL>.
=head1 RETURN VALUE
RSA_check_key() returns 1 if B<rsa> is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise.
-1 is returned if an error occurs while checking the key.
If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
obtained using L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<rsa(3)|rsa(3)>, L<err(3)|err(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
RSA_check() appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
