* \note This function performs checks substantiating
* the consistency of the key material used to setup
* the RSA context. In case of implementations saving
* all core RSA parameters, this might mean a consistency
* check in the sense of \c mbedtls_rsa_validate_params,
* while other implementations might perform an empirical
* check consisting of an encryption-decryption pair.
* \note The consistency checks performed by this function not only
* ensure that \c mbedtls_rsa_private can be called successfully
* on the given context, but that the various parameters are
* mutually consistent with high probability, in the sense that
* \c mbedtls_rsa_public and \c mbedtls_rsa_private are inverses.
