[SOLVED] javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Data must not be longer than 245 bytes

PROBLEM :
I am using rsa key to encrypt a long string. But it throws an exception like
javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Data must not be longer than 245 bytes
at com.sun.crypto.provider.RSACipher.doFinal(RSACipher.java:344)
at com.sun.crypto.provider.RSACipher.engineDoFinal(RSACipher.java:389)
at javax.crypto.Cipher.doFinal(Cipher.java:2164)

CAUSE :

Using RSA to encrypt a large file is not a good idea. You could for example generate a random AES key, encrypt it using RSA and store it in the output file, and then encrypt the file itself with AES, which is much faster and doesn't have any problem with large inputs. The decryption would read the encrypted AES key, decrypt it, and then decrypt the rest of the file with AES.

" The RSA algorithm can only encrypt data that has a maximum byte length of the RSA key length in bits divided with eight minus eleven padding bytes, i.e. number of maximum bytes = key length in bits / 8 - 11 "

SOLVE

if key length 2048 maximum bytes data is 245 bytes
if key length 1024 maximum bytes data is 117 bytes
