Lianja Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Encrypt with Chilkat, Decrypt with OpenSSL

See more OpenSSL Examples

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

//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  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.
