RSA Data decryption error.The data to be decrypted exceeds the maximum for this modulus of 64 bytes

asp.net

while encrypting and descripting the string with rsa provider I am getting this error.

RSA Data decryption error.The data to be decrypted exceeds the maximum for this modulus of 64 bytes.

Can any one have idea how to slove this error?

I've encoutered similar problems but you can do two things to help yourself overcome them.

  1. You need to ensure that hte data you are encrypting is shorter than the key that you are using. so if your key is 1024 bits then make sure that you are only bassing in say 1000 bits. To do this you need to get chunk your byte array into smaller chunks, encrypt each chunk and then store the encrypeted value in an array or a string. So instead of encrypting 1 string you encrypt say 5 strings.

When storing this information as a string make sure that all numbers are the same length, so if the formatter returns 15 you store the string with 015 so that you just divide by 3 later to get the byte to then put into the array.

To decrypt your data you need to simply read the length of the string and determine how many chunks to decrypt. Decrupt these one by one and then you can recreate the object with the decrupted byte array.

if you would like actual code please contact me personally and I'll be able to help you better with some script that can do this for you.
