* Build a small string to encrypt

* This is the JSON to be RSA encrypted:  {"example":"123","hello":"world"}

* IMPORTANT: RSA encryption is only used to encrypt small amounts of data.
* RSA is only able to encrypt data to a maximum amount of your key size (2048 bits = 256 bytes) 
* minus padding / header data (11 bytes for PKCS#1 v1.5 padding, 42 bytes for OAEP).
* As a result it is often not possible to encrypt files with RSA directly. 
* RSA is also not meant for this purpose. 
* 
* If you want to encrypt more data, you can use something like:
* 1) Generate a 256-bit random keystring K
* 2) Encrypt your data with AES-CBC with K
* 3) Encrypt K with RSA
* 4) Send both to the other side

* Note: The OAEP padding uses random bytes in the padding, and therefore each time encryption happens,
* even using the same data and key, the result will be different --  but still valid.  One should not expect
* to get the same output.
