    openssl_public_decrypt — Decrypts data with public key

    Descrizione

    openssl_public_decrypt(
        string $data,
        string &$decrypted_data,
        OpenSSLAsymmetricKey|OpenSSLCertificate|array|string $public_key,
        int $padding = OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING
    ): bool

    openssl_public_decrypt() decrypts data that was previous encrypted via openssl_private_encrypt() and stores the result into decrypted_data.

    You can use this function e.g. to check if the message was written by the owner of the private key.

    Elenco dei parametri

    data

    decrypted_data

    public_key

    public_key must be the public key corresponding that was used to encrypt the data.

    padding

    padding can be one of OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING, OPENSSL_NO_PADDING.

    Valori restituiti

    Restituisce true in caso di successo, false in caso di fallimento.

    Log delle modifiche

    Versione Descrizione
    8.0.0 public_key accepts an OpenSSLAsymmetricKey or OpenSSLCertificate instance now; previously, a resource of type OpenSSL key or OpenSSL X.509 was accepted.

    Just a little note on  [P.Peyremorte]'s note in manual's openssl_private_encrypt.

    "- openssl_private_encrypt can encrypt a maximum of 117 chars at one time."

    This depends on the length of $key:

    - For a 1024 bit key length => max number of chars (bytes) to encrypt = 1024/8 - 11(when padding used) = 117 chars (bytes).
    - For a 2048 bit key length => max number of chars (bytes) to encrypt = 2048/8 - 11(when padding used) = 245 chars (bytes).
    ... and so on

    By the way, if openssl_private_encrypt fails because of data size you won't get anything but just false as returned value, the same for openssl_public_decrypt() on decryption.

    "- the encrypted output string is always 129 char length. If you use base64_encode on the encrypted output, it will give always 172 chars, with the last always "=" (filler)"

    This again depends on the length of $key:

    - For a 1024 bit key length => encrypted number of raw bytes is always a block of 128 bytes (1024 bits) by RSA design.
    - For a 2048 bit key length => encrypted number of raw bytes is always a block of 256 bytes (2048 bits) by RSA design.
    ... and so on

    About base64_encode output length, it depends on what you encode (meaning it depends on the bytes resulting after encryption), but in general the resulting encoded string will be about a 33% bigger (for 128 bytes bout 170 bytes and for 256 bytes about 340 bytes).

    I would then generalize a little [P.Peyremorte]'s note by:
    <?php
    // given the variables as constants:

      //Block size for encryption block cipher
          private $ENCRYPT_BLOCK_SIZE = 200;// this for 2048 bit key for example, leaving some room

      //Block size for decryption block cipher
          private $DECRYPT_BLOCK_SIZE = 256;// this again for 2048 bit key

             //For encryption we would use:
          function encrypt_RSA($plainData, $privatePEMKey)
      {
            $encrypted = '';
            $plainData = str_split($plainData, $this->ENCRYPT_BLOCK_SIZE);
        foreach(    $plainData as $chunk)
        {
              $partialEncrypted = '';

              //using for example OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING as padding
              $encryptionOk = openssl_private_encrypt($chunk, $partialEncrypted, $privatePEMKey, OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING);

          if(    $encryptionOk === false){return false;}//also you can return and error. If too big this will be false
              $encrypted .= $partialEncrypted;
        }
        return     base64_encode($encrypted);//encoding the whole binary String as MIME base 64
          }

                 //For decryption we would use:
          protected function decrypt_RSA($publicPEMKey, $data)
      {
            $decrypted = '';

            //decode must be done before spliting for getting the binary String
            $data = str_split(base64_decode($data), $this->DECRYPT_BLOCK_SIZE);

        foreach(    $data as $chunk)
        {
              $partial = '';

              //be sure to match padding
              $decryptionOK = openssl_public_decrypt($chunk, $partial, $publicPEMKey, OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING);

          if(    $decryptionOK === false){return false;}//here also processed errors in decryption. If too big this will be false
              $decrypted .= $partial;
        }
        return     $decrypted;
      }

    Encrypt using private key, decrypt using public key.

    Use this for posting signed messages:  Anyone with access to
    your public key can read it, but they can't create one with
    your signature.

    <?php
    echo "Source: $source";
    $fp=fopen("/path/to/private.key","r");
    $priv_key=fread($fp,8192);
    fclose($fp);
    // $passphrase is required if your key is encoded (suggested)
    $res = openssl_get_privatekey($priv_key,$passphrase);
    /*
    * NOTE:  Here you use the returned resource value
    */
    openssl_private_encrypt($source,$crypttext,$res);
    echo     "String crypted: $crypttext";

    $fp=fopen ("/path/to/certificate.crt","r");
    $pub_key=fread($fp,8192);
    fclose($fp);
    openssl_get_publickey($pub_key);
    /*
    * NOTE:  Here you use the $pub_key value (converted, I guess)
    */
    openssl_public_decrypt($crypttext,$newsource,$pub_key);
    echo     "String decrypt : $newsource";
    ?>
