Hello together, I downloaded Crypto++ last week and after a few hours of playing around with it I was really pleased how easy you make it to handle encryption, signing, etc.
Today I wanted to encrypt a file (1 KB) using RSA, but it always failed with an exception. After some diggin in the mailing list archive I found out that the maximum length you can encrypt using RSA depends on the key strength. I also read that the best way to encrypt larger files is a symmetric cipher. But in fact my file will be always one KB, so I would prefereably not have the overhead of transmitting the symmetric key. In Java I may RSA encrypt files of any length (The padding is done automatically). Is there any way to do that with Crypto++ ? I've searched google and the mailing list for hours, but didn't find any suitable information :( Thanks in advance, Sebastian Kopsan
