how to use RSA to encrypt files (huge data) in C#

Question

I\'m new to encryption. I need to implement asymmetric encryption algorithm, which i think it uses private/public key. I started using a sample of RSACryptoServiceProvider.

Answer 1

Usually, RSA is only used to transfer a symmetric key (at the start of the stream for example) and then the bulk data is encrypted with that key.

Asymmetric encryption isn't efficient enough to transfer a lot of data.
