Method: OpenSSL::PKey::RSA#public_encrypt

Defined in:
lib/openssl/pkey.rb

#public_encrypt(data, padding = PKCS1_PADDING) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

rsa.public_encrypt(string)          -> String
rsa.public_encrypt(string, padding) -> String

Encrypt string with the public key. padding defaults to PKCS1_PADDING, which is known to be insecure but is kept for backwards compatibility. The encrypted string output can be decrypted using #private_decrypt.

Deprecated in version 3.0. Consider using PKey::PKey#encrypt and PKey::PKey#decrypt instead.
