        I'm baffled why you're trying to encrypt a public key. There should be no
need to.

        In any event, if you do need to encrypt a larger-sized object, you've
already been told how to do it. Generate a random key, encrypt the object
with that random key using a symmetric cipher, and then encrypt the random
key using RSA.
