(Chilkat2-Python) RSA Encrypt RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding

Demonstrates how to RSA encrypt using RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding. Also demonstrates RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-256AndMGF1Padding. Both of these terms are from Java's JCE. Note: In this context, "ECB" doesn't actually mean anything. It's a symmetric cipher mode that doesn't apply (or make sense) in this context.

# RSA encryption is limited to small amounts of data. The limit
# is typically a few hundred bytes and is based on the key size and
# padding (OAEP vs. PKCS1_5).  RSA encryption is typically used for
# encrypting hashes or symmetric (bulk encryption algorithm) secret keys.
