+RSA Encryption and Decryption using the `cryptography` library.
+
+This script demonstrates RSA encryption and decryption using the
+`cryptography` library. The `cryptography` library is a package
+which provides cryptographic recipes and primitives to Python
+developers. It aims to support all currently supported versions
+of Python.
+
+The RSA algorithm is an asymmetric encryption algorithm, meaning
+that it uses two keys: one public and one private. The public key
+can be shared with everyone, while the private key must be kept
+secret. In RSA, this asymmetry is based on the practical difficulty
+of the factorization of the product of two large prime numbers, the
+"factoring problem". The public key consists of the modulus n and
+the public (or encryption) exponent e. The private key consists of
+the modulus n and the private (or decryption) exponent d, which must
+be kept secret. RSA is often used to encrypt session keys, which are
+symmetric keys used to encrypt data in a symmetric encryption scheme.
+This avoids the need to distribute a symmetric key to each party
+wanting to encrypt data.
