Re: weak key check?

ttack, its clear that using 112 bits of entropy to generate an RSA key (of any length) cannot possibly give you more that 56 bits of security, and probably far less. Chris Dodd d...@csl.sri.com __ OpenS

Re: What is the maximum data size for encrypting with rsautl command?

Roughly keysize - paddingsize is the limit. keysize in your case is 512 bytes and padding size for OAEP padding (the common standard) is ~41, so the limit is about 471 bytes. Usually when encrypting a file, you use a symmetric cipher with a randomly chosen key, and then encrypt the key with R
