node-rsa errors when trying to decrypt message with private key

Question

So I\'ve been trying to use node with node-rsa and javascript with jsencrypt to create a website (for an assignment) where the javascript client gets the public key generate

Answer 1

To answer your question @Curious_Programmer be default node-rsa uses pkcs1_oaep for encryption and decryption while jsencrypt uses pkcs1. Thankfully node lets you change the encryptionScheme, what you need to do is add ...

myDecrypter.setOptions({encryptionScheme: 'pkcs1'});

under

var myDecrypter = new NodeRSA({b: 512});

and all will work like a charm, I hoped I helped you ;)
