I'm afraid I'm quite the novice when it comes to using encryption. I've run
into the following problem. I am using an instance of
RASCryptoServiceProvider to encrypt 30 text character in one application,
then sending that value via socket to another application where I try to
decrypt. I am getting an error that I'm sure will be straightforward to
someone, just not me. Here is the error message I catch: "The data to be
decrypted exceeds the maximum for this modulus of 128 bytes."

I created my key pair as follows:

    CspParameters cp = new CspParameters();
    cp.KeyContainerName = "some_container_name";
    RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(cp);

I attempt to decrypt using the same key pair, but receive the error above.
Can anyone shed some light as to what is possibly going wrong? I only need
to decrypt small amounts of data for now (256 characters or less).
Thanks:
Tim
