*
* == RSA Encryption
*
* RSA provides ecryption and decryption using the public and private keys.
* You can use a variety of padding methods depending upon the intended use of
* encrypted data.
*
* === Encryption
*
* Documents encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the
* private key.
*
* public_encrypted = key.public_encrypt 'top secret document'
*
* Documents encrypted with the private key can only be decrypted with the
* public key.
*
* private_encrypted = key.private_encrypt 'public release document'
*
* === Decryption
*
* Use the opposite key type do decrypt the document
*
* top_secret = key.public_decrypt public_encrypted
*
* public_release = key.private_decrypt private_encrypted
*
* == PKCS #5 Password-based Encryption
*
* PKCS #5 is a password-based encryption standard documented at
* RFC2898[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2898.txt]. It allows a short password or
* passphrase to be used to create a secure encryption key.
*
* PKCS #5 uses a Cipher, a pass phrase and a salt to generate an encryption
* key.
*
* pass_phrase = 'my secure pass phrase goes here'
* salt = '8 octets'
*
* === Encryption
*
* First set up the cipher for encryption
*
* encrypter = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new 'AES-128-CBC'
* encrypter.encrypt
* encrypter.pkcs5_keyivgen pass_phrase, salt
*
* Then pass the data you want to encrypt through
*
* encrypted = encrypter.update 'top secret document'
* encrypted << encrypter.final
*
* === Decryption
*
* Use a new Cipher instance set up for decryption
*
* decrypter = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new 'AES-128-CBC'
* decrypter.decrypt
* decrypter.pkcs5_keyivgen pass_phrase, salt
*
* Then pass the data you want to decrypt through
*
* plain = decrypter.update encrypted
* plain << decrypter.final

*
* === Parameters
* * +size+ is an integer representing the desired key size.
* * +encoded_key+ is a string containing PEM or DER encoded key.
* * +pass+ is an optional string with the password to decrypt the encoded key.
* Generates or loads an RSA keypair. If an integer +key_size+ is given it

* === Examples
* * RSA.new(2048) -> rsa
* * RSA.new(File.read("rsa.pem")) -> rsa
* * RSA.new(File.read("rsa.pem"), "mypassword") -> rsa
* A key can instead be loaded from an +encoded_key+ which must be PEM or DER
* encoded. A +pass_phrase+ can be used to decrypt the key. If none is given
* OpenSSL will prompt for the pass phrase.
