| Jan 3, 2013 at 18:01 | comment | added | K_X | "Why does Asymmetric Cryptography need data smaller than it's key length" is my unequivocal question. | |
| Dec 20, 2012 at 21:53 | comment | added | D.W. | Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "it". Are you asking, why does public-key encryption need to encrypt data that is smaller than its key length? If so, you should revise your question, because that's not what I'm getting out of your question at all. | |
| Dec 20, 2012 at 20:04 | comment | added | K_X | Thanks for the answers but it does not directly answer my question: Why does it need to have data smaller than it's key length. I know it takes a lot of CPU compared to Symmetric Encryption but it's not the answer I'm looking for unless you are indirectly telling me it needs data smaller than it's key length because of CPU usage. | |

This particular question must have been asked a dozen times on this site. Did you try a search? Also try looking at the questions in the Related bar. For instance, the 3rd in the list is crypto.stackexchange.com/q/586/351 which seems to answer your question satisfactorily. | |
