<?php
   // Save Private Key
   $privkey = openssl_pkey_new();
   openssl_pkey_export_to_file($privkey, 'C:/xampp/htdocs/modules/openssl/privatekey.pem');
	
   // To encrpt data
   $data = 'Welcome To TuorialsPoint';
   $isvalid = openssl_private_encrypt ($data, $crypted , file_get_contents('C:/xampp/htdocs/modules/openssl/privatekey.pem'),OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING);	
   echo "Data encryption : ".$crypted;
   echo ">br/<>br/<";
	
   //Save Public Key

      "commonName" => "www.test.com",
      "emailAddress" => "xyz@test.com"
   );
   $cert = openssl_csr_new($dn, $privkey);
   $cert = openssl_csr_sign($cert, null, $privkey, 365);
   openssl_x509_export_to_file($cert, 'C:/xampp/htdocs/modules/openssl/publickey.pem');
		
   if ($isvalid) {	
      openssl_public_decrypt ($crypted, $decrypted , file_get_contents('C:/xampp/htdocs/modules/openssl/publickey.pem'),OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING);	
      echo "Data decryption : ".$decrypted;
   }
?>
