Hey all,
I've searched the discussion group for solutions on how to encrypt data that is larger than FixedMaxPlaintextLength(). I came across a few ideas in this post: http://groups.google.com/group/cryptopp-users/browse_thread/thread/31b5db762a247d84/99b79edbfa4bdae4?lnk=st&q=cryptopp+FixedMaxPlaintextLength&rnum=1#99b79edbfa4bdae4 To sum up: - Generate and use a temporary symmetric session key to encrypt the actual plaintext and use RSA to encrypt the session key. - Split the plaintext into smaller blocks and encrypt each one using RSA's Encrypt() method in succession. I'm wondering which approach is the most commonly used in practice? Personally, I'm in favor of the latter as it doesn't require the generation of a temporary session key. Would it be an idea to include this "block-feature" in a future version of Crypto++?
