    - #### init

          public void init(boolean forEncryption,
                           CipherParameters param)

      initialise the RSA engine.
      Specified by:
        `init` in interface `AsymmetricBlockCipher`
      Parameters:
        `forEncryption` - true if we are encrypting, false otherwise.
        `param` - the necessary RSA key parameters.

    - #### getInputBlockSize

          public int getInputBlockSize()

      Return the maximum size for an input block to this engine. For RSA this is always one byte less than the key size on encryption, and the same length as the key size on decryption.
      Specified by:
        `getInputBlockSize` in interface `AsymmetricBlockCipher`
      Returns:
        maximum size for an input block.

    - #### getOutputBlockSize

          public int getOutputBlockSize()

      Return the maximum size for an output block to this engine. For RSA this is always one byte less than the key size on decryption, and the same length as the key size on encryption.
      Specified by:
        `getOutputBlockSize` in interface `AsymmetricBlockCipher`
      Returns:
        maximum size for an output block.

    - #### processBlock

          public byte[] processBlock(byte[] in,
                                     int inOff,
                                     int inLen)

      Process a single block using the basic RSA algorithm.
      Specified by:
        `processBlock` in interface `AsymmetricBlockCipher`
      Parameters:
        `in` - the input array.
        `inOff` - the offset into the input buffer where the data starts.
        `inLen` - the length of the data to be processed.
      Returns:
        the result of the RSA process.
      Throws:
        `DataLengthException` - the input block is too large.
