Sometimes I need to encrypt some stuff but do not want to install PGP or GPG. I typically use OpenSSL for this kind of thing and have written a simple frontend script to achieve strong password based encryption using OpenSSL. Sometimes you need public / private key encryption though, below will show you how to do it using just OpenSSL.
- Carlos July 23, 2017. Thanks for your contribution, I'm really new to programming. I'm struggling trying to run this function Xcode: openssl cms -sign -in LoginTicketRequest.xml -nodetach -inkey privada.key -signer certificado.crt -out LoginTicketRequest.xml.cms -outform DER I was able to load all the openssl functions and, I guess the from my inexperience that the function.
- Rip the code from EVP Symmetric Encryption and Decryption or EVP Asymmetric Encryption and Decryption of an Envelope. Be sure to use OAEP padding; and not PKCS padding. The OpenSSL team recommends the EVP interfaces for everything. – jww Aug 27 '17 at 19:07.
Public/Private key encryption is a method used usually when you want to receive or send data to thirdparties. The system requires everyone to have 2 keys one that they keep secure – the private key – and one that they give to everyone – the public key. Data encrypted using the public key can only ever be unencrypted using the private key. This method of encryption that uses 2 keys is called asymmetric encryption.
So by example if Person A want to send Person B data in a secure fashion she just have to encrypt it with Person B's public key, only Person B can then open the file using her private key. There are other advantages to this kind of encryption. If I met you in person and gave you my public key, I can send you something electronically using my private key to encrypt it, if the public key you have can decrypt that data then you can trust that it was sent by me, it's mathematical proof of identity. This is the basis for Digital Signatures.
RSApublicencrypt, using the specific rsapubenc function provided by the method specified in the RSA structure, takes fromlen bytes from from, performs RSA encryption using the key rsa, and puts the results into to. It is the user's responsibility to provide RSAsize(rsa) bytes in to for storage of the result. Depending on the padding. In this way, the 'message' for the public-key algorithm is unpredictable because it's purely random. However, many padding schemes for public-key algorithms make sure that they are protected from this kind of attack even if they are not used to encrypt random data. Read up on OAEP for one example. Now let's demonstrate how the RSA algorithms works by a simple example in Python.The below code will generate random RSA key-pair, will encrypt a short message and will decrypt it back to its original form, using the RSA-OAEP padding scheme.
Using OpenSSL on the command line you'd first need to generate a public and private key, you should password protect this file using the -passout argument, there are many different forms that this argument can take so consult the OpenSSL documentation about that.
This creates a key file called private.pem that uses 1024 bits. This file actually have both the private and public keys, so you should extract the public one from this file:
Rsa Public Key Encryption Example
You'll now have public.pem containing just your public key, you can freely share this with 3rd parties.
You can test it all by just encrypting something yourself using your public key and then decrypting using your private key, first we need a bit of data to encrypt:
You now have some data in file.txt, lets encrypt it using OpenSSL and the public key:

This creates an encrypted version of file.txt calling it file.ssl, if you look at this file it's just binary junk, nothing very useful to anyone. Now you can unencrypt it using the private key:

You will now have an unencrypted file in decrypted.txt:

All of these examples use the RSA encryption method, some hard core mathematical information about it here.

There are a fair few limitations to this approach – it will only encrypt data up to the key size for example. And you really should never encrypt english plain text using a method like this. You'd use this to safely encrypt a random generated password and then aes encrypt the actual text you care about. Look in the comments for examples of that.
