Tutorials for OpenSSL libcrypto

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

If you do have a good reason to be using asymmetric encryption, why not just use GnuPG instead? It's much more straightforward, in that it takes care of all the bits that require you to understand what the fuck you're doing by itself.
