DataFlex Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Encrypt with Chilkat, Decrypt with OpenSSL

See more OpenSSL Examples

Demonstrates how to RSA encrypt a string using Chilkat, and then shows the corresponding OpenSSL command to RSA decrypt. The OpenSSL command to decrypt is as follows:

openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey VP_Private.pem -in rsa_encrypted.bin -out original.txt

DataFlex

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg
