Demonstrates how to RSA encrypt and decrypt data contained in a Chilkat BinData object. PHP Extension

// 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.

// 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).
