RSA_blinding_on, RSA_blinding_off - protect the RSA operation from timing attacks

RSA is vulnerable to timing attacks. In a setup where attackers can
18
measure the time of RSA decryption or signature operations, blinding
19
must be used to protect the RSA operation from that attack.
21
RSA_blinding_on() turns blinding on for key B<rsa> and generates a
22
random blinding factor. B<ctx> is B<NULL> or a pre-allocated and
23
initialized B<BN_CTX>. The random number generator must be seeded
24
prior to calling RSA_blinding_on().
26
RSA_blinding_off() turns blinding off and frees the memory used for
31
RSA_blinding_on() returns 1 on success, and 0 if an error occurred.
33
RSA_blinding_off() returns no value.

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