177.PP
178Unlike most other \s-1RSA\s0 functions, this function does \fBnot\fR work
179transparently with any underlying \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementation because it uses the
180key data in the \s-1RSA\s0 structure directly. An \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementation can
181override the way key data is stored and handled, and can even provide
182support for \s-1HSM\s0 keys \- in which case the \s-1RSA\s0 structure may contain \fBno\fR
183key data at all! If the \s-1ENGINE\s0 in question is only being used for
184acceleration or analysis purposes, then in all likelihood the \s-1RSA\s0 key data
185is complete and untouched, but this can't be assumed in the general case.
186.SH "BUGS"
187.IX Header "BUGS"
188A method of verifying the \s-1RSA\s0 key using opaque \s-1RSA\s0 \s-1API\s0 functions might need
189to be considered. Right now \fIRSA_check_key()\fR simply uses the \s-1RSA\s0 structure
190elements directly, bypassing the \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 table altogether (and
191completely violating encapsulation and object-orientation in the process).
192The best fix will probably be to introduce a \*(L"\fIcheck_key()\fR\*(R" handler to the
193\&\s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 function table so that alternative implementations can also
194provide their own verifiers.
