RSA Encryption -- Same Key Different Results

The RSA encryption algorithm produces different results for each call, even when encrypting the same data with the same key. Decryption however, will produce the correct results. This example demonstrates.

Chilkat.Rsa rsa = new Chilkat.Rsa();

bool success;
success = rsa.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show("RSA component unlock failed");
    return;
}
