This Ruby code snippet demonstrates RSA encryption and decryption using the openssl library. It generates a 2048-bit RSA key pair (private and public keys). A string “Ruby” is encrypted using the public key and then successfully decrypted using the corresponding private key, showcasing the basic functionality of asymmetric encryption.

Ruby code snippet

require 'openssl'
#=> true

rsa_private = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.generate(2048)
#=> #<OpenSSL::PKey::RSA:0x00007f8aaf9f3ff8 oid=rsaEncryption>
rsa_public = rsa_private.public_key
#=> #<OpenSSL::PKey::RSA:0x00007f8aafa1b468 oid=rsaEncryption>

secret = 'Ruby'
#=> "Ruby"

enc_data = rsa_public.public_encrypt(secret)
#=> 
"\xAF|D\x81\xD7r(\xBF\xBC\xBCv@\xCE\xF1t\xECiB\x81\x1A\xF0w\xCE\x89\xB3g\x97\xDB...

rsa_private.private_decrypt(enc_data)
#=> "Ruby"
