NAME
RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h> RSA * RSA_new(void); void RSA_free(RSA *rsa); DESCRIPTION
RSA_new() allocates and initializes an RSA structure. It is equivalent to calling RSA_new_method(NULL). RSA_free() frees the RSA structure and its components. The key is erased before the memory is returned to the system. RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. RSA_free() returns no value. SEE ALSO
ERR_get_error(3), rsa(3), RSA_generate_key(3), RSA_new_method(3) HISTORY
RSA_new() and RSA_free() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. 1.0.1e 2013-02-11 RSA_new(3SSL)
