publicEncrypt

external fun publicEncrypt(key: RsaPublicKey, buffer: ArrayBufferView): Buffer(source)

external fun publicEncrypt(key: RsaPrivateKey, buffer: ArrayBufferView): Buffer(source)

external fun publicEncrypt(key: KeyLike, buffer: ArrayBufferView): Buffer(source)

Encrypts the content of buffer with key and returns a new Buffer with encrypted content. The returned data can be decrypted using the corresponding private key, for example using {@link privateDecrypt}.

If key is not a KeyObject, this function behaves as if key had been passed to {@link createPublicKey}. If it is an object, the padding property can be passed. Otherwise, this function uses RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING.

Because RSA public keys can be derived from private keys, a private key may be passed instead of a public key.
