d2i_Netscape_RSA(3ssl)

d2i_Netscape_RSA3ssl

Insecure rsa public and private key encoding functions

Usage

 #include <openssl/rsa.h>
 int i2d_Netscape_RSA(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp, int (*cb)());
 RSA * d2i_Netscape_RSA(RSA **a, const unsigned char **pp, long length, int (*cb)());

Overview

These functions decode and encode an RSA private key in NET format. These functions are present to provide compatibility with very old software. This format has some severe security weaknesses and should be avoided if possible.

These functions are similar to the d2i_RSAPrivateKey functions.
