It's part of the algorithm. Therefore, it's better (as some other have said) to encrypt/decrypt the message with a symmetric algorithm, using a randomly generated key that you in turn encrypt/decrypt using RSA (because the key is likely to be smaller than RSA_size(rsakey)). ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
