openssl_x509_check_private_key - Checks if a private key corresponds to a certificate
Manual
openssl_x509_check_private_key(
OpenSSLCertificate|string$certificate,
OpenSSLAsymmetricKey|OpenSSLCertificate|array|string$private_key
): bool
OpenSSLCertificate|string$certificate,
OpenSSLAsymmetricKey|OpenSSLCertificate|array|string$private_key
): bool
Checks whether the given private_key is the private key that corresponds to certificate.
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.
