It also checks that B<d*e = 1 mod (p-1*q-1)>,
and that B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> are set correctly or are B<NULL>.
The key's public components may not be B<NULL>.
As such, this function can not be used with any arbitrary RSA key object,
even if it is otherwise fit for regular RSA operation. See B<NOTES> for more
information.

@ -28,6 +30,13 @@ RSA_check_key() returns 1 if B<rsa> is a valid RSA key, and 0 otherwise.
If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
obtained using L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 NOTES
This function does not work on RSA public keys that have only the modulus
and public exponent elements populated. It performs integrity checks on all
the RSA key material, so the RSA key structure must contain all the private
key data too.
