I'm trying to encrypt/decrypt data using a rsa key but the process fails somehow with this message :

Error: error:04099079:rsa routines:RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP_mgf1:oaep decoding error

Code :

var  childProcess = require('child_process');
var  crypto = require('crypto');

var pk;
var mess_chiffre;

var sign = function () {
  var buf = new Buffer("Coucou c'est relou!!!");
  var sig = crypto.privateEncrypt(pk,buf);
  mess_chiffre = sig.toString('hex');
  console.log("Signed : ", mess_chiffre);
};


var decrypt = function () {
  var buff = new Buffer(mess_chiffre,'hex')
  console.log('Buffer : ',buff)
  console.log('decrypting withh pk: ')
  console.log(pk)
  var mess = crypto.privateDecrypt(pk,buff)
  console.log(mess)
};


childProcess.exec('openssl rsa -in private.key', {},
    function (err, stdout, stderr) {
  if (err) throw err;
  pk = stdout; // Save in memory for later use
  sign();
  decrypt();
});
