encrypting long strings

2010-07-08 Thread Chuck Pareto
Is there an algorithm that I can use, similar to RSA with public/private key, that will allow me to encrypt really long strings (like an email/text file)? Actually no limit on the size would be ideal.

question about max length string to encrypt with rsa 2048

2010-07-08 Thread Chuck Pareto
My group is using RSA with a key thats 2048 in size. We want to encrypt strings that are longer then this key size gives. If we switch to a key that is 4096 what is the max string length we can encrypt? is it double?

if my public key is 256 bytes long, what is the max length of the string I can use to encrypt? Is it 256?

Hi, I'm a newbie when it comes to RSA, the last time I learned it was in school over 7 years ago in one lecture. Maybe I'm missing something but I will try to explain my problem again. A former co worker generated a public and private key for our group. (I think he used PGP but not sure). So I hav
