.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fId2i_RSAPublicKey()\fR and \fIi2d_RSAPublicKey()\fR decode and encode a PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey
structure.
.PP
\&\fId2i_RSA_PUKEY()\fR and \fIi2d_RSA_PUKEY()\fR decode and encode an \s-1RSA\s0 public key using a
SubjectPublicKeyInfo (certificate public key) structure.
.PP
\&\fId2i_RSAPrivateKey()\fR, \fIi2d_RSAPrivateKey()\fR decode and encode a PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey
structure.
.PP
\&\fId2i_Netscape_RSA()\fR, \fIi2d_Netscape_RSA()\fR decode and encode an \s-1RSA\s0 private key in
\&\s-1NET\s0 format.
.PP
The usage of all of these functions is similar to the \fId2i_X509()\fR and
\&\fIi2d_X509()\fR described in the d2i_X509(3) manual page.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR structure passed to the private key encoding functions should have
all the PKCS#1 private key components present.
.PP
The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted and therefore 
offers no private key security. 
.PP
The \s-1NET\s0 format functions are present to provide compatibility with certain very
old software. This format has some severe security weaknesses and should be
avoided if possible.
