OpenSSL "rsautl -decrypt" - Decryption with RSA Private Key

Q

How to decrypt a file with the RSA private key using OpenSSL "rsautl" command? I received a file that is encrypted with my RSA public key.

A

If you receive a file encrypted with your RSA public key and want to decrypt the file with your RSA private key, you can use the OpenSSL "rsault -decrypt" command as shown below:

C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl.exe
OpenSSL> rsautl -decrypt -inkey my_rsa.key -in cipher.txt -out decipher.txt
OpenSSL> exit

C:\Users\fyicenter>type decipher.txt
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Options used in the "rsautl" command are:

"-decrypt" - Decrypt the input data with RSA keys.
"-inkey my_rsa_pub.key" - Read RSA key, the private key, from the given file.
"-in cipher.txt" - Read input data, the cipher text, from the given file.
"-out decipher.txt" - Save output data, the decipher text, to the given file.
