Some have tried using \fBBN_num_bits()\fR on individual numbers in \s-1RSA\s0 keys,
\&\s-1DH\s0 keys and \s-1DSA\s0 keys, and found that they don't always come up with
the number of bits they expected (something like 512, 1024, 2048,
\&...).  This is because generating a number with some specific number
of bits doesn't always set the highest bits, thereby making the number
of \fIsignificant\fR bits a little lower.  If you want to know the \*(L"key
size\*(R" of such a key, either use functions like \fBRSA_size()\fR, \fBDH_size()\fR
and \fBDSA_size()\fR, or use \fBBN_num_bytes()\fR and multiply with 8 (although
there's no real guarantee that will match the \*(L"key size\*(R", just a lot
more probability).
