When you say that "a Cortex M3 isn't going to be able to handle
RSA-2048", what do you mean specifically? Considering that it is being
done by for example SharkSSL [1], is supported by ARM mbed TLS (nee
PolarSSL) [2] I fail to see what hardware limits you are seeing. Yes,
the speed you get is not impressive (1-2 seconds to decrypt), but it
might be ok, depending on your application.
