B<to> must point to +B<RSA_size(rsa)> bytes of memory. + +B<padding> denotes one of the following modes: + +=over 4 + +=item RSA_PKCS1_PADDING + +PKCS #1 v1.5 padding. This function does not handle the +B<algorithmIdentifier> specified in PKCS #1. When generating or +verifying PKCS #1 signatures, L<RSA_sign(3)> and L<RSA_verify(3)> should be +used. + +=item RSA_NO_PADDING + +Raw RSA signature. This mode should I<only> be used to implement +cryptographically sound padding modes in the application code. +Signing user data directly with RSA is insecure. + +=back + +RSA_public_decrypt() recovers the message digest from the B<flen> +bytes long signature at B<from> using the signer's public key +B<rsa>. B<to> must point to a memory section large enough to hold the +message digest (which is smaller than B<RSA_size(rsa) - +11>). B<padding> is the padding mode that was used to sign the data. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +RSA_private_encrypt() returns the size of the signature (i.e., +RSA_size(rsa)). RSA_public_decrypt() returns the size of the +recovered message digest. + +On error, -1 is returned; the error codes can be +obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ERR_get_error(3)>, +L<RSA_sign(3)>, L<RSA_verify(3)> + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2000-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
