9 #include <openssl/rsa.h>
10
11 int RSA_size(const RSA *rsa);

17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19RSA_size() returns the RSA modulus size in bytes. It can be used to
20determine how much memory must be allocated for an RSA encrypted
21value.
22
23RSA_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
24
25B<rsa> and B<rsa-E<gt>n> must not be B<NULL>.
26
27RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given B<rsa>
28key. See L<BN_security_bits(3)>.

31
32RSA_size() returns the size of modulus in bytes.
33
34DSA_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.
35
36RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.
