how do you store an rsa encrypted data block? the output might be significantly greater than the original input data block size, and i dont think people waste memory by padding bucket loads of 0s in front of each data block. besides, how would they be removed? or is each block stored on new lines within the file? if that is the case, how would you tell the difference between legitimate new line and a '\n' char written into the file?
what am i missing? im writing the "write to file" part in python, so maybe its one of the differences between:
open(file,'w')
open(file,'w+b')
open(file,'wb')
that i dont know. or is it something else?
