// Generate a key pair
final keyPair = new KeyPair.generateKeyPair(new RSAKeyGenerator().parameters);
// Encrypt the data
final plainText = 'Hello, world!';
final cipher = new RSAEngine()
..init(true, PublicKeyParameter(keyPair.public));
final encrypted = cipher.process(plainText.codeUnits);
// Decrypt the data
final decipher = new RSAEngine()
..init(false, PrivateKeyParameter(keyPair.private));
final decrypted = decipher.process(encrypted);
print(String.fromCharCodes(decrypted)); // prints "Hello, world!"
