 101                     Passwords can be set via <code class="code">setPassword()</code> and are only supported on private keys.
 102                     CRYPT_RSA_PUBLIC_FORMAT_OPENSSH generates keys that are intended to go in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
 103                     for use with OpenSSH.  Another format - CRYPT_RSA_PUBLIC_FORMAT_RAW - is stored as an array with two
 104                     indexes - one for the modulus and one for the exponent.  Indexes accepted by <code class="code">loadkey()</code>
 105                     are as follows:
 106                 </p><p>
 107                     e, exponent, publicExponent, modulus, modulo, n
 108                 </p><p>
 109                     <code class="code">loadKey()</code> has two parameters - <code class="code">$key</code> and the optional <code class="code">$type</code>.
 110                     The default type, if <code class="code">$type</code> is not explicitely set, is CRYPT_RSA_PRIVATE_FORMAT_PKCS1.
 111                     It should, at this point, be noted that Crypt_RSA treats public and private keys largelly identically.
 112                     A key can be formatted as a CRYPT_RSA_PUBLIC_FORMAT_PKCS1 and still conform to the
 113                     CRYPT_RSA_PRIVATE_FORMAT_PKCS1 format and vice versa.  The only real difference between private keys and
 114                     public keys is that private keys *can* contain their public key counterparts whereas public keys cannot.
 115                     That said, this distinction is, for the most part, irrelevant and academic.  For a more thorough
 116                     discussion of this see <a class="link" href="misc_crypt.html#misc_crypt_rsa_getpublickey" title="4.2.5. setPublicKey() and getPublicKey()">setPublicKey() and getPublicKey()</a>.

 118                     As noted in <a class="link" href="misc_crypt.html#misc_crypt_rsa_format" title="4.2.4. setPrivateKeyFormat(), setPublicKeyFormat(), loadKey() and setPassword()">setPrivateKeyFormat(), setPublicKeyFormat(), loadKey() and setPassword()</a>,
 119                     Crypt_RSA treats public and private keys largely identically.  The only real difference is that some
 120                     private key formats contain the public key within them whereas no public key format does.  The reason
 121                     you'd want to do this is for indexing purposes.  For example, in SSH-2, RSA authentication works by
 122                     sending your public key along with a signature created by your private key.  The SSH-2 server then looks
 123                     the public key up in an index of public keys to see if it's an allowed key and then verifies the signature.
 124                     To that end, <code class="code">setPublicKey()</code> defines the public key if it hasn't already been defined and
 125                     <code class="code">getPublicKey()</code> returns it.  <code class="code">getPublicKey()</code> has an optional parameter - $type -
 126                     that sets the format.
