    // 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
