OpenSSL "rsautl -sign -raw" for RSA Private Key Decryption

Q

What is the difference between "rsautl -encrypt" and "rsautl -verify" commands?\\n

✍: FYIcenter.com

A

\\nThere is only 1 difference between "rsautl -encrypt" and "rsautl -verify" commands:\\n

\\n\\n

1. "rsautl -encrypt" and "rsautl -verify" commands apply PKCS#1 v1.5 padding differently:\\n

\\n
    \\n
  • "rsautl -encrypt" adds PKCS#1 v1.5 padding before applying RSA encryptin with an RSA public key.\\n
    • \\n
  • "rsautl -verify" removes PKCS#1 v1.5 padding after applying RSA decryptin with an RSA public key.\\n
    • \\n
\\n\\n

So if we are using no padding, "rsautl -encrypt" and "rsautl -verify" have no differences, \\nbecause RSA encryption and RSA decryption are identical algorithms.\\nIn other words, "rsautl -encrypt -raw" and "rsautl -sign -raw" are identical commands.\\n
