I am looking for exact algorithm that is used in PHP's openssl_public_encrypt function, as I need to encrypt some data in android app with that, and I couldnt find android equivalent of PHP's openssl_public_encrypt.

(I am not sure, but I think its RSA, but when I tried to encrypt data using RSA in android and decrypt it using PHP's openssl_private_decrypt, its not working) Or if anyone can help with, which function/method should I use in android for this.

this is more of a PHP programming question than a security question as you are asking about how a particular library functions

did you look to the source? github.com/php/php-src/tree/master/ext/openssl or github.com/php/php-src/blob/…

according to the source, it uses the function RSA_public_encrypt which is from OpenSSL: wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Manual:RSA_public_encrypt(3)

If you want to know how an open source program works, always look to the code
