OpenSSL "rsautl -encrypt -raw" - Data Too Large Error
Why am I getting the "data too large for key size" error with OpenSSL "rsautl -encrypt -raw" command? My input data is the same size as the RSA key and I am using no padding.

In most case, you should be able to use the OpenSSL "rsautl -encrypt -raw" command
to encrypt input data of the same size as the RSA public key.
But sometimes, you will get the "data too large for key size" error, if the integer value represented by the input data is larger than the modulus value of the RSA public key.
For example, if the input data is a 128-byte of 0xFF, its integer value will be larger than the modulus value of any 128-byte (1024-bit) RSA public keys.

The output tells us that:
⇒ OpenSSL "rsautl" Using OAEP Padding
⇐ OpenSSL "rsautl -encrypt -raw" - No Padding
