I need to decrypt a file which is encrypted using a private key. I have a public key which I can use to decrypt this file. How can I do this. I did:
openssl rsautl -in file -inkey key.pem
But this is not working. This shows the error as:
unable to load Private Key

Public keys cannot be used to decrypt, they can only be used to encrypt and to verify the encryption signature.
