;  The RSA public key is used for encryption, and the private key for decryption.

;  The public key's role is to make encryption accessible to anyone while ensuring that
;  only the private key holder can decrypt the messages.
;  The public key is designed to be widely distributed so anyone can use it to encrypt messages
;  intended for the owner of the private key.

;  Load our 2048-bit RSA public key.

;  RSA encryption is for small amounts of data, on the order of 200 bytes or less.
;  The maximum number of bytes that can be RSA encrypted depends
;  on the RSA key size and padding scheme (OAEP padding vs PKCS#1 v1.5 padding).
;  For specific limits, see: RSA Encryption Maximum Number of Bytes
