The OpenSSL docs have a "BUGS" section for this function: "The check_private_key functions don't check if k itself is indeed a private key or not. It merely compares the public materials (e.g. exponent and modulus of an RSA key) and/or key parameters (e.g. EC params of an EC key) of a key pair. So if you pass a public key to these functions in k, it will return success." - from https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/X509_check_private_key.html This should be incorporated into our docs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74959&edit=1
