NAME
       RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects


SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/rsa.h>

        RSA *RSA_new(void);

        void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);


DESCRIPTION
       RSA_new() allocates and initializes an RSA structure. It is equivalent to calling RSA_new_method(NULL).

       RSA_free() frees the RSA structure and its components. The key is erased before the memory is returned to
       the system.  If rsa is NULL nothing is done.


RETURN VALUES
       If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by
       ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

       RSA_free() returns no value.
