+The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
+hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
+see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
- int RSA_check_key(RSA *rsa);

=head1 DESCRIPTION
+Both of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
+Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_public_check(3)>,
+L<EVP_PKEY_private_check(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check(3)>.
+
RSA_check_key_ex() function validates RSA keys.
It checks that B<p> and B<q> are
in fact prime, and that B<n = p*q>.

=head1 HISTORY
+All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
