RSA_SIZE(3ossl) OpenSSL RSA_SIZE(3ossl)
NAME
RSA_size, RSA_bits, RSA_security_bits - get RSA modulus size or
security bits
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
int RSA_bits(const RSA *rsa);
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
int RSA_size(const RSA *rsa);
int RSA_security_bits(const RSA *rsa);
DESCRIPTION
RSA_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
rsa and rsa->n must not be NULL.
The remaining functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_get_size(3),
EVP_PKEY_get_bits(3) and EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits(3).
RSA_size(3) returns the RSA modulus size in bytes. It can be used to
determine how much memory must be allocated for an RSA encrypted value.
RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given
rsa key. See BN_security_bits(3).
RETURN VALUES
RSA_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.
RSA_size(3) returns the size of modulus in bytes.
RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.

BN_num_bits(3)
HISTORY
The RSA_size(3) and RSA_security_bits() functions were deprecated in
OpenSSL 3.0.
The RSA_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
