## Importing RSA keys above 2048 bits (3072 or 4096 bits)
|

|

The size of the internal buffer is set by default to a value that
|

permits to import RSA 2048 bits. If your card is able to deal with RSA
|
||||
keys of 3072 or 4096 bits and you want to be able to import such keys,
|
||||
then you need to adjust the size of this buffer:
|
||||
|
||||
- for RSA 2048 bits, `Constants.INTERNAL_BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH` must be at
|
||||
least `(short)0x3b0`;
|

|

- for RSA 3072 bits, `Constants.INTERNAL_BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH` must be at
|

least `(short)0x570`;

- for RSA 4096 bits, `Constants.INTERNAL_BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH` must be at

least `(short)0x730`.
