//  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
