OK. I would like to add to what you (correctly) wrote earlier on: a
1,024-bit RSA key works on 1,024 bits of input and returns 1,024 bits of
output. The actual numerical value of the input can be any positive
integer smaller than the RSA modulus. In order to have 1,024 bits worth
of input, a left-padding with zeros is assumed by RSA_NO_PADDING.
