\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback()\fR sets the callback function for \fBctx\fR to be
used when a temporary/ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key is required to \fBtmp_rsa_callback\fR.
The callback is inherited by all \s-1SSL\s0 objects newly created from \fBctx\fR
with <\fBSSL_new\fR\|(3)|\fBSSL_new\fR\|(3)>. Already created \s-1SSL\s0 objects are not affected.

with a keysize larger than 512 bits is installed.
.PP
These functions apply to \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 servers only.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
When using a cipher with \s-1RSA\s0 authentication, an ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange
can take place. In this case the session data are negotiated using the
ephemeral/temporary \s-1RSA\s0 key and the \s-1RSA\s0 key supplied and certified
by the certificate chain is only used for signing.
.PP
Under previous export restrictions, ciphers with \s-1RSA\s0 keys shorter (512 bits)
than the usual key length of 1024 bits were created. To use these ciphers
with \s-1RSA\s0 keys of usual length, an ephemeral key exchange must be performed,
as the normal (certified) key cannot be directly used.
.PP
Using ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange yields forward secrecy, as the connection
can only be decrypted, when the \s-1RSA\s0 key is known. By generating a temporary
\&\s-1RSA\s0 key inside the server application that is lost when the application
is left, it becomes impossible for an attacker to decrypt past sessions,
even if he gets hold of the normal (certified) \s-1RSA\s0 key, as this key was
used for signing only. The downside is that creating a \s-1RSA\s0 key is
computationally expensive.
.PP
Additionally, the use of ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is only allowed in
the \s-1TLS\s0 standard, when the \s-1RSA\s0 key can be used for signing only, that is
for export ciphers. Using ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange for other purposes
violates the standard and can break interoperability with clients.
It is therefore strongly recommended to not use ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key
exchange and use \s-1DHE\s0 (Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman) key exchange instead
in order to achieve forward secrecy (see
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback\fR\|(3)).
.PP
An application may either directly specify the key or can supply the key via a
callback function. The callback approach has the advantage, that the callback
may generate the key only in case it is actually needed. As the generation of a
\&\s-1RSA\s0 key is however costly, it will lead to a significant delay in the handshake
procedure. Another advantage of the callback function is that it can supply
keys of different size while the explicit setting of the key is only useful for
key size of 512 bits to satisfy the export restricted ciphers and does give
away key length if a longer key would be allowed.
.PP
The \fBtmp_rsa_callback\fR is called with the \fBkeylength\fR needed and
the \fBis_export\fR information. The \fBis_export\fR flag is set, when the
ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is performed with an export cipher.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
Generate temporary \s-1RSA\s0 keys to prepare ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange. As the
generation of a \s-1RSA\s0 key costs a lot of computer time, they saved for later
reuse. For demonstration purposes, two keys for 512 bits and 1024 bits
respectively are generated.
