 * RSA* that forwards operations to a hardware module.
 *
 * Methods are reference counted but |ENGINE|s are not. When creating a method,
 * you should zero the whole structure and fill in the function pointers that
 * you wish before setting it on an |ENGINE|. Any functions pointers that
 * are NULL indicate that the default behaviour should be used. */
