Applications should instead use \fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt_init_ex\fR\|(3), \&\fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt_init_ex\fR\|(3) and \&\fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt\fR\|(3). .PP \&\fBRSA_public_encrypt()\fR encrypts the \fBflen\fR bytes at \fBfrom\fR (usually a session key) using the public key \fBrsa\fR and stores the ciphertext in \&\fBto\fR. \fBto\fR must point to RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) bytes of memory. .PP \&\fBpadding\fR denotes one of the following modes: .IP "\s-1RSA_PKCS1_PADDING\s0" 4 .IX Item "RSA_PKCS1_PADDING" \&\s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 padding. This currently is the most widely used mode. However, it is highly recommended to use \s-1RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING\s0 in new applications. \s-1SEE WARNING BELOW.\s0 .IP "\s-1RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING\s0" 4 .IX Item "RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING" EME-OAEP as defined in \s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v2.0 with \s-1SHA\-1, MGF1\s0 and an empty encoding parameter. This mode is recommended for all new applications. .IP "\s-1RSA_NO_PADDING\s0" 4 .IX Item "RSA_NO_PADDING" Raw \s-1RSA\s0 encryption. This mode should \fIonly\fR be used to implement cryptographically sound padding modes in the application code. Encrypting user data directly with \s-1RSA\s0 is insecure. .PP \&\fBflen\fR must not be more than RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 11 for the \s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 based padding modes, not more than RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 42 for \&\s-1RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING\s0 and exactly RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) for \s-1RSA_NO_PADDING.\s0 When a padding mode other than \s-1RSA_NO_PADDING\s0 is in use, then \&\fBRSA_public_encrypt()\fR will include some random bytes into the ciphertext and therefore the ciphertext will be different each time, even if the plaintext and the public key are exactly identical. The returned ciphertext in \fBto\fR will always be zero padded to exactly RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) bytes. \&\fBto\fR and \fBfrom\fR may overlap. .PP \&\fBRSA_private_decrypt()\fR decrypts the \fBflen\fR bytes at \fBfrom\fR using the private key \fBrsa\fR and stores the plaintext in \fBto\fR. \fBflen\fR should be equal to RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) but may be smaller, when leading zero bytes are in the ciphertext. Those are not important and may be removed, but \fBRSA_public_encrypt()\fR does not do that. \fBto\fR must point to a memory section large enough to hold the maximal possible decrypted data (which is equal to RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) for \s-1RSA_NO_PADDING,\s0 RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 11 for the \s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 based padding modes and RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 42 for \s-1RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING\s0). \&\fBpadding\fR is the padding mode that was used to encrypt the data. \&\fBto\fR and \fBfrom\fR may overlap. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBRSA_public_encrypt()\fR returns the size of the encrypted data (i.e., RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR)). \fBRSA_private_decrypt()\fR returns the size of the recovered plaintext. A return value of 0 is not an error and means only that the plaintext was empty. .PP On error, \-1 is returned; the error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3). .SH "WARNINGS" .IX Header "WARNINGS" Decryption failures in the \s-1RSA_PKCS1_PADDING\s0 mode leak information which can potentially be used to mount a Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack.
