Doesn't this turn them into individual parameter calls, in practice?
I.e. the exact thing we chose not to make?
There isn't much difference between this:
RSA_set0_key(rsa, n, NULL, NULL);
RSA_set0_key(rsa, NULL, e, NULL);
RSA_set0_key(rsa, NULL, NULL, d);
and something like this:
RSA_set0_n(rsa, n);
RSA_set0_e(rsa, e);
RSA_set0_d(rsa, d);
The only difference is that with the former, you get two-in-one, as it
also works as a function to set all three numbers in one go.
Cheers,
Richard
