    -- 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.
