Hello,

I try to understand which function will be called in FIPS mode to generate an
RSA key. While looking trough the code I found two candidates:

RSA_X931_generate_key_ex (in rsa_x931g.c)
rsa_buildin_keygen in (rsa_gen.c)

They seem to use different algorithms, but both contains FIPS-checks like for
the size of n. Is this an configuration option?

I'm using openssl101i with openssl-fips207

Thank you
Dirk
