  174. \&\s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 padding. This currently is the most widely used mode.

  181. .IP "\s-1RSA_NO_PADDING\s0" 4

  183. Raw \s-1RSA\s0 encryption. This mode should \fIonly\fR be used to implement
  184. cryptographically sound padding modes in the application code.
  185. Encrypting user data directly with \s-1RSA\s0 is insecure.
  186. .PP
  187. When encrypting \fBflen\fR must not be more than RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 11 for the
  188. \&\s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 based padding modes, not more than RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 42 for
  189. \&\s-1RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING\s0 and exactly RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) for \s-1RSA_NO_PADDING.\s0
  190. When a padding mode other than \s-1RSA_NO_PADDING\s0 is in use, then
  191. \&\fBRSA_public_encrypt()\fR will include some random bytes into the ciphertext
  192. and therefore the ciphertext will be different each time, even if the
  193. plaintext and the public key are exactly identical.
  194. The returned ciphertext in \fBto\fR will always be zero padded to exactly
  195. RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) bytes.

  198. \&\fBRSA_private_decrypt()\fR decrypts the \fBflen\fR bytes at \fBfrom\fR using the
  199. private key \fBrsa\fR and stores the plaintext in \fBto\fR. \fBflen\fR should
  200. be equal to RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) but may be smaller, when leading zero
  201. bytes are in the ciphertext. Those are not important and may be removed,
  202. but \fBRSA_public_encrypt()\fR does not do that. \fBto\fR must point
  203. to a memory section large enough to hold the maximal possible decrypted
  204. data (which is equal to RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) for \s-1RSA_NO_PADDING,\s0
  205. RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 11 for the \s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 based padding modes and
  206. RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) \- 42 for \s-1RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING\s0).
  207. \&\fBpadding\fR is the padding mode that was used to encrypt the data.

  210. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  211. \&\fBRSA_public_encrypt()\fR returns the size of the encrypted data (i.e.,
  212. RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR)). \fBRSA_private_decrypt()\fR returns the size of the
  213. recovered plaintext. A return value of 0 is not an error and
  214. means only that the plaintext was empty.
  215. .PP
  216. On error, \-1 is returned; the error codes can be
  217. obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
  218. .SH "WARNINGS"
  219. .IX Header "WARNINGS"
  220. Decryption failures in the \s-1RSA_PKCS1_PADDING\s0 mode leak information
  221. which can potentially be used to mount a Bleichenbacher padding oracle
  222. attack. This is an inherent weakness in the \s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 padding
  223. design. Prefer \s-1RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING.\s0
  224. .PP
  225. In OpenSSL before version 3.2.0, both the return value and the length of
  226. returned value could be used to mount the Bleichenbacher attack.
  227. Since version 3.2.0, the default provider in OpenSSL does not return an
  228. error when padding checks fail. Instead it generates a random
  229. message based on used private
  230. key and provided ciphertext so that application code doesn't have to implement
  231. a side-channel secure error handling.
  232. Applications that want to be secure against side-channel attacks with
  233. providers that don't implement implicit rejection, still need to
  234. handle the returned values using side-channel free code.
  235. Side-channel free handling of the error stack can be performed using
  236. either a pair of unconditional \fBERR_set_mark\fR\|(3) and \fBERR_pop_to_mark\fR\|(3)
  237. calls or by using the \fBERR_clear_error\fR\|(3) call.
