Node Reference for publicDecrypt

function publicDecrypt

Usage in Deno

import { publicDecrypt } from "node:crypto";



publicDecrypt(key: RsaPublicKey
 | RsaPrivateKey
 | KeyLike,
buffer: ArrayBufferView,
): Buffer

Decrypts buffer with key.buffer was previously encrypted using the corresponding private key, for example using privateEncrypt.

If key is not a KeyObject, this function behaves as ifkey had been passed to createPublicKey. If it is an object, the padding property can be passed. Otherwise, this function usesRSA_PKCS1_PADDING.

Because RSA public keys can be derived from private keys, a private key may be passed instead of a public key.

Parameters



key: RsaPublicKey
 | RsaPrivateKey
 | KeyLike



buffer: ArrayBufferView

Return Type

Buffer
