EVP_PKEY_decrypt \- decrypt using a public key algorithm
.SH SYNOPSIS

.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/evp.h>
\&
\& int EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
\& int EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt_init()\fR function initializes a public key algorithm
context using key \fIpkey\fR for a decryption operation.
.PP
The \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt_init_ex()\fR function initializes a public key algorithm
context using key \fIpkey\fR for a decryption operation and sets the
algorithm specific \fIparams\fR.
.PP
The \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt()\fR function performs a public key decryption operation
using \fIctx\fR. The data to be decrypted is specified using the \fIin\fR and
\&\fIinlen\fR parameters. If \fIout\fR is NULL then the minimum required size of
the output buffer is written to the \fI*outlen\fR parameter.
.PP
If \fIout\fR is not NULL then before the call the \fI*outlen\fR parameter must
contain the length of the \fIout\fR buffer. If the call is successful the
decrypted data is written to \fIout\fR and the amount of the decrypted data
written to \fI*outlen\fR, otherwise an error is returned.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
After the call to \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt_init()\fR algorithm specific control
operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
operation.  These operations can be included in the \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt_init_ex()\fR
call.
.PP
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt()\fR can be called more than once on the same
context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt_init()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt_init_ex()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt()\fR
return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a
return value of \-2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key
algorithm.
.SH WARNINGS
.IX Header "WARNINGS"
In OpenSSL versions before 3.2.0, when used in PKCS#1 v1.5 padding,
both the return value from the \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt()\fR and the \fBoutlen\fR provided
information useful in mounting a Bleichenbacher attack against the
used private key. They had to be processed in a side-channel free way.
.PP
Since version 3.2.0, the \fBEVP_PKEY_decrypt()\fR method when used with PKCS#1
v1.5 padding as implemented in the \fBdefault\fR provider implements
the implicit rejection mechanism (see
\&\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_IMPLICIT_REJECTION\fR in \fBprovider\-asym_cipher\fR\|(7)).
That means it doesn't return an error when it detects an error in padding,
instead it returns a pseudo-randomly generated message, removing the need
of side-channel secure code from applications using OpenSSL.
If OpenSSL is configured to use a provider that doesn't implement implicit
rejection, the code still needs to handle the returned values
using side-channel free code.
Side-channel free handling of the error stack can be performed using
either a pair of unconditional \fBERR_set_mark\fR\|(3) and \fBERR_pop_to_mark\fR\|(3)
calls or by using the \fBERR_clear_error\fR\|(3) call.
