RSA Encryption for Developers

This document describes how to encrypt and decrypt data using asymmetric encryption with RSA keys in C#. It includes a class with methods to generate public and private keys, encrypt and decrypt bytes and text, and get the maximum data length for a given key size. The class handles encryption with the public key and decryption with the private key. An example at the end generates keys, encrypts a sample text, then decrypts it to demonstrate the encryption/decryption process.
