@holid019 - a little late to reply, but the decryption is done with the private key, which is passed here: https://gist.github.com/FrenchBen/3a73d2cf6f7b6d2211ca8bb103948958#file-encryptor-go-L16
The public key, used in the encryption, is derived from the private key.

where should we input the rsa public key? I can only run the encrypting, but not the decrypting, any tips? thanks
