RSA Encrypt and Decrypt Credit Card Numbers

MFC sample code to RSA public-key encrypt and decrypt credit card numbers. The RSA key is loaded from an unencrypted PKCS8 file. Chilkat provides many ways of setting the key -- loading from both encrypted and unencrypted PEM, PKCS8, DER, PVK, etc. Keys may be loaded from files or in-memory representations. (The RSA component also provides the ability to generate RSA keys.)

    //  We'll encrypt with the public key and decrypt with the private
    //  key.  (It's also possible to do the reverse.)
    //  Note: An RSA private key is composed of different parts internally: modulus, exponent, P, Q, etc.
    //  An RSA public-key is a sub-set of the private key.
    //  Therefore, when you have a private key, you really have
    //  both public and private keys.

    //  Important: RSA encryption should only be used to encrypt small amounts of data.
    //  It is typically used for encrypting symmetric encryption
    //  keys such that a symmetric encryption algorithm, such as
    //  AES is then used to encrypt/decrypt bulk data.
