RSA_NO_PADDING gives you "raw" RSA encryption. From the manual:

    RSA_NO_PADDING
    Raw RSA encryption. This mode should only be used to implement
    cryptographically sound padding modes in the application code.
    Encrypting user data directly with RSA is insecure.

https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/crypto/RSA_public_encrypt.html

Basically, unless you are implementing a new RSA padding mode, or really
know what you are doing, don't use it.
