openssl_x509_check_private_key
Checks if a private key corresponds to a certificate
Description
bool openssl_x509_check_private_key(OpenSSLCertificatestring $certificate
, #[\SensitiveParameter]OpenSSLAsymmetricKeyOpenSSLCertificatearraystring $private_key
)
Warning
The function does not check if private_key
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.
This means, for example, that a public key could be given for private_key
and the function may return true
.
Parameters
-
certificate
-
The certificate.
-
private_key
-
The private key.
Return Values
Returns true
if private_key
is the private key that
corresponds to certificate
, or false
otherwise.
