Encryption and signing are two different things both using rsa keys. The public key used for encryption does not need to be part of the same key pair as the private key used for signing.
Not sure whether this is the case here.
- SAI_Peregrinus 5y agoAlso they talk about a secret key, not a private key. That means it's likely using symmetric key encryption, with RSA for signing (and maybe to update the symmetric key a la RSA-KEM). This is normal, nobody does direct asymmetric message encryption.
