i find all the openssl documentation a bit overwhelming, i've found a great introductory tutorial for using EVP functions and blowfish symmtetrical encryption algorithm, i'll prolly use that if i can't figure out how to use RSA
but my real wish would be to find some nice introduction to RSA encryption, simply because i only need to encrypt small ammounts of data, binary structs, to be stored in dbm files
and i read that rsa is great for small ammounts but for larger ammounts like whole files blowfish was faster, i also like the fact that i only have to keep one key for blowfish but i'd still like to give RSA a shot
tldr: howtos or tutorials on using RSA encryption with openssl crypto libs
