Hi all,
Excuse me for asking such trivial questions, but I am new to
cryptography.
Anyway, will a string still be a string if I encrypt it with an RSA
public key? I mean, will null or other non-printable characters be
present within the encrypted result or will the result be entirely
printable ASCII characters?
Thanks,

If you encrypt a string (or anything else) with EVP_* APIs the result
will be binary. So if you need it as a string you'll have to use some
encoding like Base64 or Hex.
Hope it helps.
