On this page (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/246071) Microsoft states that:

    Any message that is encrypted by using the private key can only be decrypted by using the matching public key.

Is that right? I always though, using `gpg` as a base, the messages are encrypting using public keys, and decrypted using the corresponding private key. What am I missing?
