The reason I want to put the public key into the header file is to simply make it easier to use the software (you can do the public key encryption of some data with only the binary file, not the binary and another file). Thus, I don't want to read a PEM file from the disk, but rather from memory.
Thank you very much for your link for EVP_Seal*. I'll have a look.
