<p>RSA_size, RSA_bits, RSA_security_bits - get RSA modulus size or security bits</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/rsa.h&gt;

int RSA_size(const RSA *rsa);

int RSA_bits(const RSA *rsa);

int RSA_security_bits(const RSA *rsa)</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>RSA_size() returns the RSA modulus size in bytes. It can be used to determine how much memory must be allocated for an RSA encrypted value.</p>

<p>RSA_bits() returns the number of significant bits.</p>

<p>RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given <b>rsa</b> key. See <a href="../man3/BN_security_bits.html">BN_security_bits(3)</a>.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>RSA_size() returns the size of modulus in bytes.</p>

<p>DSA_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.</p>

<p>RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.</p>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

<p>The RSA_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.</p>
