Parameters

from_pa

Array of pointers to the plaintext data vectors.

to_pa

Array of pointers to the ciphertext data vectors.

n_pa

Array of pointers to the RSAs modulus vectors.

rsaBitLen

Size of RSAs moduli in bits.

m

Pointer to the pre-defined data structure specified by the RSA encryption operation.

pBuffer

Pointer to the work buffer.

Description

The mbx_rsa_public() function performs independent RSA public key operations using RSA moduli passed though the n_pa parameter. The public exponent e is fixed and equals to 65537. The size of RSAs moduli must be the same and equal to rsaBitlen bits. The function encrypts plaintexts specified by the from_pa parameter in parallel, and stores ciphertexts in the memory locations specified by the to_pa parameter. Memory buffers of the plain- and ciphertext must be ceil(rsaBitlen/8) bytes length.

At the moment, RSA-10024, RSA-2048, RSA-3072and RSA-4096 are supported only. If m is NULL, the functionuses mbx_RSA_pub65537_Method(rsaBitsize). If m is not NULL, it must be assigned toeither mbx_RSA1K_pub65537_Method(), mbx_RSA2K_pub65537_Method(), mbx_RSA3K_pub65537_Method() or mbx_RSA4K_pub65537_Method() and match to rsaBitlen value.

If pBuffer is NULL, then the function allocated a work buffer of suitable size dynamically. Anallocated buffer will be released before the function return. If the workbuffer is allocated in the application, it affects performancepositively. Thembx_RSA_Method_BufSize() function returns the size of the work buffer requiredfor the operation.

The function itself does not support any kind of padding. The application is responsible for the padding if it is required.

Note

The mbx_rsa_public_ssl() function is the “twin” of mbx_rsa_public() one. Itacts the same. The basic difference in comparison withmbx_rsa_public() is the representation of RSA key stuff. mbx_rsa_public_ssl uses BIGNUM datatype insteadof vector.

Return Values

The mbx_rsa_public() function returns the status that indicates whether the operation completed successfully or not. The status value of 0 indicates that all operations completed successfully. The error condition can be analyzed by the MBX_GET_STS() call.
