DESCRIPTION
These functions are called from the RSA encrypt, decrypt, sign, and verify functions. Normally they should not be called from application programs.
However, they can also be called
directly to implement padding for other asymmetric ciphers.
RSA_padding_add_PKCS1_OAEP()
and
RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP()
may be used in an application combined with
RSA_NO_PADDING in order to implement OAEP with an
encoding parameter.
RSA_padding_add_*()
encodes fl bytes from f so as to
fit into tlen bytes and stores the result at
to. An error occurs if fl does
not meet the size requirements of the encoding method.
The following encoding methods are implemented:
- PKCS1_type_1
- PKCS #1 v2.0 EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 (PKCS #1 v1.5 block type 1); used for signatures
- PKCS1_type_2
- PKCS #1 v2.0 EME-PKCS1-v1_5 (PKCS #1 v1.5 block type 2)
- PKCS1_OAEP
- PKCS #1 v2.0 EME-OAEP
- none
- simply copy the data
RSA_padding_check_*()
verifies that the fl bytes at f
contain a valid encoding for a rsa_len byte RSA key in
the respective encoding method and stores the recovered data of at most
tlen bytes (for
RSA_NO_PADDING: of size tlen)
at to.
For
RSA_padding_*_OAEP(),
p points to the encoding parameter of length
pl. p may be
NULL if pl is 0.
RETURN VALUES
The RSA_padding_add_*() functions return 1
on success or 0 on error. The RSA_padding_check_*()
functions return the length of the recovered data or -1 on error. Error
codes can be obtained by calling
ERR_get_error(3).

BUGS
The RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_2()
padding check leaks timing information which can potentially be used to
mount a Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack. This is an inherent weakness
in the PKCS #1 v1.5 padding design. Prefer PKCS1_OAEP padding.
