.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIRSA_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.
.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\s0, \s-1MGF1\s0 and an empty
encoding parameter. This mode is recommended for all new applications.
.IP "\s-1RSA_SSLV23_PADDING\s0" 4
.IX Item "RSA_SSLV23_PADDING"
\&\s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 padding with an SSL-specific modification that denotes
that the server is \s-1SSL3\s0 capable.
.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 be less than RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 11 for the \s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5
based padding modes, less than RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 41 for
\&\s-1RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING\s0 and exactly RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) for \s-1RSA_NO_PADDING\s0.
The random number generator must be seeded prior to calling
\&\fIRSA_public_encrypt()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIRSA_private_decrypt()\fR decrypts the \fBflen\fR bytes at \fBfrom\fR using the
private key \fBrsa\fR and stores the plaintext in \fBto\fR. \fBto\fR must point
to a memory section large enough to hold the decrypted data (which is
smaller than RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR)). \fBpadding\fR is the padding mode that
was used to encrypt the data.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIRSA_public_encrypt()\fR returns the size of the encrypted data (i.e.,
RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR)). \fIRSA_private_decrypt()\fR returns the size of the
recovered plaintext.
.PP
On error, \-1 is returned; the error codes can be
obtained by \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).

.SH "HISTORY"
.IX Header "HISTORY"
The \fBpadding\fR argument was added in SSLeay 0.8. \s-1RSA_NO_PADDING\s0 is
available since SSLeay 0.9.0, \s-1OAEP\s0 was added in OpenSSL 0.9.2b.
