function privateEncrypt

Usage in Deno

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

Encrypts buffer with privateKey. The returned data can be decrypted using the corresponding public key, for example using publicDecrypt.

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_PADDING.

Parameters

privateKey: RsaPrivateKey | KeyLike
buffer: ArrayBufferView

Return Type

Buffer
