NAME
RSA_blinding_on, RSA_blinding_off - protect the RSA operation from timing attacks
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
int RSA_blinding_on(RSA *rsa, BN_CTX *ctx);
void RSA_blinding_off(RSA *rsa);
DESCRIPTION
RSA is vulnerable to timing attacks. In a setup where attackers can
measure the time of RSA decryption or signature operations, blinding
must be used to protect the RSA operation from that attack.
RSA_blinding_on() turns blinding on for key rsa and generates a
random blinding factor. ctx is NULL or a pre-allocated and
initialized BN_CTX. The random number generator must be seeded
prior to calling RSA_blinding_on().
RSA_blinding_off() turns blinding off and frees the memory used for
the blinding factor.
RETURN VALUES
RSA_blinding_on() returns 1 on success, and 0 if an error occurred.
RSA_blinding_off() returns no value.

HISTORY
RSA_blinding_on() and RSA_blinding_off() appeared in SSLeay 0.9.0.
