X509_CHECK_PRIVATE_KEY(3)           OpenSSL          X509_CHECK_PRIVATE_KEY(3)
NAME
       X509_check_private_key, X509_REQ_check_private_key - check the
       consistency of a private key with the public key in an X509 certificate
       or certificate request
SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/x509.h>
        int X509_check_private_key(X509 *x, EVP_PKEY *k);
        int X509_REQ_check_private_key(X509_REQ *x, EVP_PKEY *k);
DESCRIPTION
       X509_check_private_key() function checks the consistency of private key
       k with the public key in x.
       X509_REQ_check_private_key() is equivalent to X509_check_private_key()
       except that x represents a certificate request of structure X509_REQ.
RETURN VALUES
       X509_check_private_key() and X509_REQ_check_private_key() return 1 if
       the keys match each other, and 0 if not.
       If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
       obtained using ERR_get_error(3).
BUGS
       The check_private_key functions don't check if k itself is indeed a
       private key or not. It merely compares the public materials (e.g.
       exponent and modulus of an RSA key) and/or key parameters (e.g. EC
       params of an EC key) of a key pair. So if you pass a public key to
       these functions in k, it will return success.
