' The RSA public key is used for encryption, and the private key for decryption.

' The public key's role is to make encryption accessible to anyone while ensuring that
' only the private key holder can decrypt the messages.
' The public key is designed to be widely distributed so anyone can use it to encrypt messages
' intended for the owner of the private key.

' Load our 2048-bit RSA public key.
set pubKey = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.PublicKey")
' In all Chilkat methods expecting a path, you pass either absolute or relative paths.
success = pubKey.LoadFromFile("qa_data/rsaKeys/myTestRsaPublic.pem")

' Tell RSA to use the public key.
success = rsa.UsePublicKey(pubKey)

' RSA encryption is for small amounts of data, on the order of 200 bytes or less.
' The maximum number of bytes that can be RSA encrypted depends
' on the RSA key size and padding scheme (OAEP padding vs PKCS#1 v1.5 padding).
' For specific limits, see: RSA Encryption Maximum Number of Bytes

' A typical use for RSA is to encrypt symmetric encryption keys, such as an AES key.
