    //  IMPORTANT: RSA encryption is only used to encrypt small amounts of data.

    //  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
