Dear all,
I would like to encrypt a large amount of data by using public/private keys,
but I read on MSDN:
"Symmetric encryption is performed on streams and is therefore useful to
encrypt large amounts of data. Asymmetric encryption is performed on a small
number of bytes and is therefore only useful for small amounts of data."
There is not possibility to do it? I have tried to encrypt a 300kB file by
RSA Algorithm, but I received always "Bad length"!
Thank you,
Bart

Ciao Bart,
Split the file into small blocks and encrypt each block separately.
Still, do you really need RSA encryption for all the file? You can encrypt
the file with a symmetric algorithm, write the encrypted file and then
append the symmetric key in turn encrypted with RSA.
That's similar to how SSL works - symmetric "session" keys are exchanged
encrypted with RSA (or some other asymmetric algorithm, don't remember for
sure) and then all data exchange is done with symmetric encryption to
improve speed.

I have a requirement of storing some .xml files on a web server.
The files will contain financial information like credit card numbers,

Hi there,
I read a Microsoft paper explaining the basic concepts of encryption.
For example, I now understand the difference between asymmetric and

and process it. The bank's policy is encrypt the file using something called
a "PGP key." I need a way to decrypt it but I'm not sure where to...

Hello everybody..
I hav some confusion regarding asymmetric encryption.As asymmetric
encryption it there is one private key and one public key.So any data
is encrypted using private key and the same is decrypted at client side
using public key and vice-versa..Now i hav confusion like i.e.
* Are both the keys available to both sender and receiver.?
* When data is encrypted using public key ,Is the same data decrypted
using private key(...
