  // 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.
