function privateDecrypt

Usage in Deno

import { privateDecrypt } from "node:crypto";
privateDecrypt(
privateKey: RsaPrivateKey | KeyLike,
buffer: ArrayBufferView,
): Buffer

Decrypts buffer with privateKey. buffer was previously encrypted using the corresponding public key, for example using publicEncrypt.

If privateKey is not a KeyObject, this function behaves as if privateKey had been passed to createPrivateKey. If it is an object, the padding property can be passed. Otherwise, this function uses RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING.

Parameters

privateKey: RsaPrivateKey | KeyLike
buffer: ArrayBufferView

Return Type

Buffer
