NAME
       RSA_size, RSA_bits, RSA_security_bits - get RSA modulus size or security bits


SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/rsa.h>

        int RSA_size(const RSA *rsa);

        int RSA_bits(const RSA *rsa);

        int RSA_security_bits(const RSA *rsa)


DESCRIPTION
       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.

       RSA_bits() returns the number of significant bits.

       rsa and rsa->n must not be NULL.

       RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given rsa key. See BN_security_bits(3).


RETURN VALUES
       RSA_size() returns the size of modulus in bytes.

       DSA_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.

       RSA_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.

HISTORY
       The RSA_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
