5 EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init, EVP_PKEY_decrypt - decrypt using a public key algorithm
9 #include <openssl/evp.h>
11 int EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
12 int EVP_PKEY_decrypt(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
13 unsigned char *out, size_t *outlen,
14 const unsigned char *in, size_t inlen);
18 The EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
19 context using key B<pkey> for a decryption operation.
21 The EVP_PKEY_decrypt() function performs a public key decryption operation
22 using B<ctx>. The data to be decrypted is specified using the B<in> and
23 B<inlen> parameters. If B<out> is B<NULL> then the maximum size of the output
24 buffer is written to the B<outlen> parameter. If B<out> is not B<NULL> then
25 before the call the B<outlen> parameter should contain the length of the
26 B<out> buffer, if the call is successful the decrypted data is written to
27 B<out> and the amount of data written to B<outlen>.
31 After the call to EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init() algorithm specific control
32 operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
35 The function EVP_PKEY_decrypt() can be called more than once on the same
36 context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
40 EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init() and EVP_PKEY_decrypt() return 1 for success and 0
41 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2
42 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.

56 * and that key is an RSA private key

63 if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding(ctx, RSA_OAEP_PADDING) <= 0)
66 /* Determine buffer length */
67 if (EVP_PKEY_decrypt(ctx, NULL, &outlen, in, inlen) <= 0)
70 out = OPENSSL_malloc(outlen);
75 if (EVP_PKEY_decrypt(ctx, out, &outlen, in, inlen) <= 0)
