openssl_pkey_new
Encrypt using public key, decrypt using private key.
Use this to store stuff in your database: Unless someone
has your private key, the database contents are useless.
Also, use this for sending to a specific individual: Get
their public key, encrypt the message, only they can use
their private key to decode it.
<?php
echo "Source: $source";
$fp=fopen("/path/to/certificate.crt","r");
$pub_key=fread($fp,8192);

openssl_get_publickey($pub_key);
/*
* NOTE: Here you use the $pub_key value (converted, I guess)
*/
openssl_public_encrypt($source,$crypttext,$pub_key);
echo "String crypted: $crypttext";
$fp=fopen("/path/to/private.key","r");
$priv_key=fread($fp,8192);

// $passphrase is required if your key is encoded (suggested)
$res = openssl_get_privatekey($priv_key,$passphrase);

openssl_private_decrypt — Decrypts data with private key
Description
bool openssl_private_decrypt
( string
$data
, string &$decrypted
, mixed $key
[, int $padding = OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING
] )
openssl_private_decrypt() decrypts
data that was previous encrypted via
openssl_public_encrypt() and stores the result into
decrypted.
You can use this function e.g. to decrypt data which were supposed only to you.
Parameters
-
data -
-
decrypted -
-
key -
keymust be the private key corresponding that was used to encrypt the data. -
padding -
paddingcan be one ofOPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING,OPENSSL_SSLV23_PADDING,OPENSSL_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING,OPENSSL_NO_PADDING.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

When used with RSA, this function only accepts a single block. Block size is equal to the RSA key size - i. e., with a 1024-bit key, block size should be 128 bytes. Depending on the padding scheme, the payload may be even smaller. The padding is removed, so you'll receive the ready to use plaintext. Blocking logic is up to the caller, though.
When passing Microsoft CryptoAPI-generated RSA cyphertext, revert the bytes in the block (you may use strrev()).
