(C#) Encrypt with Chilkat, Decrypt with OpenSSL

Demonstrates how to RSA encrypt a string using Chilkat, and then shows the corresponding OpenSSL command to RSA decrypt. The OpenSSL command to decrypt is as follows:

openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey VP_Private.pem -in rsa_encrypted.bin -out original.txt

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Rsa rsa = new Chilkat.Rsa();

// Note: RSA encryption uses the public key.  
// RSA decryption uses the private key.
// The reason is that the public key can be freely provided to anybody.  This allows anybody
// to send an encrypted message to the private key owner, and only the private key owner 
// can decrypt.
Chilkat.PublicKey key = new Chilkat.PublicKey();

// Load an RSA public key from a PEM file:
bool success = key.LoadFromFile("qa_data/pem/VP_Public.pem");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(key.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Load the public key into the RSA object.
success = rsa.ImportPublicKeyObj(key);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

string strToEncrypt = "00000000;XYZ2-3BHQ-ABCD-MMVV;6MY1-GHJK-9LRR;0";

// The LittleEndian property is false by default, but it is set here
// anyway to show that LittleEndian byte ordering is required for OpenSSL compatibility.
rsa.LittleEndian = false;

bool usePrivateKey = false;
byte[] encryptedBytes = null;
encryptedBytes = rsa.EncryptString(strToEncrypt,usePrivateKey);
if (rsa.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The OpenSSL command to decrypt would be this:
// openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey VP_Private.pem -in rsa_encrypted.bin -out original.txt

Chilkat.FileAccess fac = new Chilkat.FileAccess();
success = fac.WriteEntireFile("qa_output/rsa_encrypted.bin",encryptedBytes);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(fac.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("RSA Encryption Succeeded.");
