Asymmetric Encryption using openssl

1. Create a Private Key for Joy

openssl genrsa -aes256 -out joy_private.pem 2048

2. Get the Public Key for Joy

openssl rsa -in joy_private.pem -pubout > joy_public.pem

3. Create a Private Key for Ayleen

openssl genrsa -aes256 -out ayleen_private.pem 2048

4. Get the Public Key for Ayleen

openssl rsa -in ayleen_private.pem -pubout > ayleen_public.pem

5. Exchange the Public Keys with each other

6. Joy encrypts the message using Ayleen’s public key

openssl rsautl -encrypt -inkey ayleen_public.pem -pubin -in hello.txt -out


encrypted_file.txt

7. Send the encrypted file to Ayleen

8. Ayleen decrypts the message using her private key

$ openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey ayleen_private.pem -in encrypted_file.txt > top_secret.txt
