The pseudo-random number generator must be seeded prior to calling \fIRSA_generate_key_ex()\fR. .PP \&\fIRSA_generate_multi_prime_key()\fR generates a multi-prime \s-1RSA\s0 key pair and stores it in the \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR structure provided in \fBrsa\fR. The number of primes is given by the \fBprimes\fR parameter. The random number generator must be seeded when calling \fIRSA_generate_multi_prime_key()\fR. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to external circumstances (see \s-1\fIRAND\s0\fR\|(7)), the operation will fail. .PP The modulus size will be of length \fBbits\fR, the number of primes to form the modulus will be \fBprimes\fR, and the public exponent will be \fBe\fR. Key sizes with \fBnum\fR < 1024 should be considered insecure. The exponent is an odd number, typically 3, 17 or 65537. .PP In order to maintain adequate security level, the maximum number of permitted \&\fBprimes\fR depends on modulus bit length: .PP .Vb 3 \& <1024 | >=1024 | >=4096 | >=8192 \& \-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \& 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 .Ve .PP A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress of the key generation. If \fBcb\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, it will be called as follows using the \fIBN_GENCB_call()\fR function described on the \fIBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) page. .PP \&\fIRSA_generate_key()\fR is similar to \fIRSA_generate_key_ex()\fR but expects an old-style callback function; see \&\fIBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) for information on the old-style callback. .IP "\(bu" 2 While a random prime number is generated, it is called as described in \fIBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3). .IP "\(bu" 2 When the n\-th randomly generated prime is rejected as not suitable for the key, \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, n)\fR is called. .IP "\(bu" 2 When a random p has been found with p\-1 relatively prime to \fBe\fR, it is called as \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 0)\fR. .PP The process is then repeated for prime q and other primes (if any) with \fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, i)\fR where \fBi\fR indicates the i\-th prime. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fIRSA_generate_multi_prime_key()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on error. \&\fIRSA_generate_key_ex()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on error. The error codes can be obtained by \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3). .PP \&\fIRSA_generate_key()\fR returns a pointer to the \s-1RSA\s0 structure or \&\fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if the key generation fails. .SH "BUGS" .IX Header "BUGS" \&\fBBN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, x)\fR is used with two different meanings. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3), \fIRAND_bytes\fR\|(3), \fIBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3), \&\s-1\fIRAND\s0\fR\|(7) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" \&\fIRSA_generate_key()\fR was deprecated in OpenSSL 0.9.8; use \&\fIRSA_generate_key_ex()\fR instead. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2000\-2019 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
