decrypt data with rsa privated key failed

[Yu Wei <yu2003w@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I generated RSA private key and public key as below,

openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048

openssl rsa -pubout -in pri.key -out pub.key

And encrypted text file as below,

openssl pkeyutl -encrypt -pubin -inkey ~/pub.key -in ~/1.txt -out ~/1e.txt

Then I wrote below program to decrypt the encryted file. However, it didn't work as  expected.

#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
#include <openssl/pem.h>
#include <openssl/err.h>
#include <openssl/conf.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void
cleanup()
{
    EVP_cleanup();
    CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data();
    ERR_free_strings();
}

int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    ERR_load_crypto_strings();
    OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms();
    OPENSSL_config(nullptr);

    cout<<"Initialize crypto library done"<<endl;

    EVP_PKEY * key = EVP_PKEY_new();
    if (key == nullptr) {
        cout<<"Failed to contruct new key"<<endl;
        return 1;
    }
    FILE * fpri = nullptr;
    fpri = fopen("/home/stack/pri.key", "r");
    if (fpri == nullptr) {
        cout<<"Failed to load private key"<<endl;
        return 1;
    }
    key = PEM_read_PrivateKey(fpri, &key, nullptr, nullptr);
    if (key == nullptr) {
        std::cout<<"Read private key failed"<<endl;
        return 1;
    }

    cout<<"load private key successfully"<<endl;
    EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx = nullptr;
    ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(key, nullptr);
    EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init(ctx);
    EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding(ctx, RSA_NO_PADDING);

    size_t outlen = 0, inlen = 0;
    unsigned char * out = nullptr, * in = nullptr;

    char buf[1024];
    FILE * fe = nullptr;
    fe = fopen("/home/stack/1e.txt", "r");
    size_t len = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf),  fe);
    cout<<"data input length is "<<len<<endl;
    EVP_PKEY_decrypt(ctx, NULL, &outlen, in, inlen);
    cout<<"outlen is "<<outlen<<endl;

    out = (unsigned char*)OPENSSL_malloc(outlen);
    EVP_PKEY_decrypt(ctx, out, &outlen, in, inlen);
    cout<<"decrypted data "<<out<<endl;
    cleanup();

    return 0;

}

When executing the code, the result is as below,

[stack@agent ~]$ ./test
Initialize crypto library done
load private key successfully
data input length is 256
outlen is 256
decrypted data

Any advice?
