Java private/public encrypt exception data must not be greater than 256 bytes












0














I have this code below for encrypting objects, which does a job.
But I have an object containing a list of another object. When I encrypt the object I have the error that data must be greater than 256 bytes. When I remove the list, the encryption is managed without error.



public class A {
private List<B> b = new ArrayList<>();
//getter setter

}


try {
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, publicKey);
encryptedBytes = cipher.doFinal(message.getBytes());
} catch (NoSuchPaddingException | NoSuchAlgorithmException | BadPaddingException
| IllegalBlockSizeException | InvalidKeySpecException | InvalidKeyException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

          RSA is not suitable for encrypting more than limited amounts of data. The conventional solution is hybrid encryption where the data is encrypted with a symmetric cipher with a nonce key and RSA is used to encrypt (only) the key. See for examples PKCS7/CMS/SMIME, PGP, XMLenc, JWE, SSL/TLS, and SSH.
