RSA_blinding_on, RSA_blinding_off \- protect the RSA operation from timing attacks
.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_blinding_on(RSA *rsa, BN_CTX *ctx);
\&
\& void RSA_blinding_off(RSA *rsa);
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
.PP
RSA is vulnerable to timing attacks. In a setup where attackers can
measure the time of RSA decryption or signature operations, blinding
must be used to protect the RSA operation from that attack.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_blinding_on()\fR turns blinding on for key \fBrsa\fR and generates a
random blinding factor. \fBctx\fR is \fBNULL\fR or a preallocated and
initialized \fBBN_CTX\fR.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_blinding_off()\fR turns blinding off and frees the memory used for
the blinding factor.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBRSA_blinding_on()\fR returns 1 on success, and 0 if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_blinding_off()\fR returns no value.
.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
