Because you don't understand its properties, so there's no way you can know
whether or not it meets your security requirements.

Hi Phillip,
I'm not sure what you mean by "shouldn't be using public-key encryption",
why?
It seems like .Net sets up a nice class that is easily implemented, all I
need is the key and the exponent and I can encrypt and decrypt when needed.
I don't think I really have a choice about what to use, I

Hi,
I'm still unsure as to the max length string I can use to encrypt. I'm
using the rsacrypto class in .net to encrypt.
I know I can't pass in a string that's 256 bytes long or greater
because there us an exception that gets thrown. But as I work my way
back in length I still get exceptions

If the output is exactly 256 bytes, there are (in theory) 2^(256*8) possible
outputs. That means there can be at most 2^(256*8) possible inputs. There
are more than
