Hi,
I'm trying to use the openssl toolkit to decrypt a message that was encryted
using an RSA public key. I have the RSA private key and thus has generated
to the public key. so I have both. The string with the encrytped message is
held in a file called "q2.enc":
a7jjYdmTJVFm9Lok2AHKEdBllkG+Lf0IbifXtB87gRExy7PmdyrFs/Cw3jVi5V/RPgNUYehUpxfKcgwWfE2/dg==

I have my private RSA key in file "prvt.cey" and my public RSA key in
"pub.cey".
The command i am trying to use is this: 
openssl rsautl -in q2.enc -inkey prvt.cey -decrypt

However this gives me an error message:
RSA operation error
4384:error:0406506C:rsa routines:RSA_EAY_PRIVATE_DECRYPT:data greater than
mod len:./crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c:512:

I don't understand how this can be the case. The input is only an 88byte
file. 

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance ~ Ax
