HI gv007,
I was not able to find any exact salesforce article about this error. Can you quote the documentation you are following for implementing this functionality?

I've come across some related posts:

Thanks

I ran into a very similar issue. You have to use the function privateDecrypt in the following manner

var decrypted = crypto.privateDecrypt({
    key: privateKey.toString(),
    passphrase: 'top secret',
  }, buffer);
var decrypted = crypto.privateDecrypt({ key: privateKey.toString(), passphrase: 'top secret', }, buffer);
 

Thanks,
