function

crypto.privateDecrypt

privateKey: KeyLike | PublicEncryptKeyObjectInput | PublicEncryptPrivateKeyInput | PublicEncryptJsonWebKeyInput,

): NonSharedBuffer;

Decrypts buffer with privateKey. buffer was previously encrypted using the corresponding public key, for example using publicEncrypt.

If privateKey is not a KeyObject, this function behaves as if privateKey had been passed to createPrivateKey. If it is an object, the padding property can be passed. Otherwise, this function uses RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING.
