Public key cryptography always works the same way: Encryption is done with the public key, decryption done with the private key. It is not possible to decrypt anything with the public key (otherwise the whole system would crash down). The only time it's done the other way is for message authentication, where only a digest of a message is encrypted and can be verified (not decrypted) using the public key.

evp_pkey_get_default_digest
EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest(3SSL) OpenSSL EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest(3SSL)
NAME
EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid - get default signature digest
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(EVP_PKEY *pkey, int *pnid);
DESCRIPTION
The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid() function sets pnid to the default message digest NID for the public key signature operations
associated with key pkey.
NOTES
For all current standard OpenSSL public key algorithms SHA1 is returned.
RETURN VALUES
The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid() function returns 1 if the message digest is advisory (that is other digests can be used) and 2 if it
is mandatory (other digests can not be used). It returns 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates
the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
SEE ALSO
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(3), EVP_PKEY_sign(3), EVP_PKEY_verify(3), EVP_PKEY_verifyrecover(3),
HISTORY
This function was first added to OpenSSL 1.0.0.
