+.SH NAME
+RSA_check_key_ex, RSA_check_key \- validate private RSA keys
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+.Vb 1
+\& #include <openssl/rsa.h>
+.Ve
+.PP
+The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
+hidden entirely by defining \fBOPENSSL_API_COMPAT\fR with a suitable version value,
+see \fBopenssl_user_macros\fR\|(7):
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& int RSA_check_key_ex(const RSA *rsa, BN_GENCB *cb);
+\&
+\& int RSA_check_key(const RSA *rsa);
+.Ve
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+Both of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
+Applications should instead use \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check\fR\|(3),
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_private_check\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_pairwise_check\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+\&\fBRSA_check_key_ex()\fR function validates RSA keys.
+It checks that \fBp\fR and \fBq\fR are
+in fact prime, and that \fBn = p*q\fR.
+.PP
+It does not work on RSA public keys that have only the modulus
+and public exponent elements populated.
+It also checks that \fBd*e = 1 mod (p\-1*q\-1)\fR,
+and that \fBdmp1\fR, \fBdmq1\fR and \fBiqmp\fR are set correctly or are \fBNULL\fR.
+It performs integrity checks on all
+the RSA key material, so the RSA key structure must contain all the private
+key data too.
+Therefore, it cannot be used with any arbitrary RSA key object,
+even if it is otherwise fit for regular RSA operation.
+.PP
+The \fBcb\fR parameter is a callback that will be invoked in the same
+manner as \fBBN_is_prime_ex\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+\&\fBRSA_check_key()\fR is equivalent to \fBRSA_check_key_ex()\fR with a NULL \fBcb\fR.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBRSA_check_key_ex()\fR and \fBRSA_check_key()\fR
+return 1 if \fBrsa\fR is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise.
+They return \-1 if an error occurs while checking the key.
+.PP
+If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
+obtained using \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+Unlike most other RSA functions, this function does \fBnot\fR work
+transparently with any underlying ENGINE implementation because it uses the
+key data in the RSA structure directly. An ENGINE implementation can
+override the way key data is stored and handled, and can even provide
+support for HSM keys \- in which case the RSA structure may contain \fBno\fR
+key data at all! If the ENGINE in question is only being used for
+acceleration or analysis purposes, then in all likelihood the RSA key data
+is complete and untouched, but this can't be assumed in the general case.
+.SH BUGS
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+A method of verifying the RSA key using opaque RSA API functions might need
+to be considered. Right now \fBRSA_check_key()\fR simply uses the RSA structure
+elements directly, bypassing the RSA_METHOD table altogether (and
+completely violating encapsulation and object-orientation in the process).
+The best fix will probably be to introduce a "\fBcheck_key()\fR" handler to the
+RSA_METHOD function table so that alternative implementations can also
+provide their own verifiers.

+.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
+\&\fBBN_is_prime_ex\fR\|(3),

+.SH HISTORY
+.IX Header "HISTORY"
+All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
+.PP
+\&\fBRSA_check_key_ex()\fR appeared after OpenSSL 1.0.2.
