Hopefully this will change when 0.9.8 is released :-) > Specifically i was wondering if there exists > functions for simple public/private encryption/decryption similar to > RSA_public_encrypt() and RSA_private_decrypt(). No. The OpenSSL elliptic curve implementation currently supports only the basic arithmetic functions for elliptic curves, signature generation (using ECDSA as defined in X9.62) and ECDH. A public key encryption scheme (perhaps ElGamal) is currently not implemented (but it shouldn't be very difficult to implement).
