Barry,

Start and stop bits are only used on serial data during transmission. They are not stored in data files.

I think you'll find that modern day encryption and cryptanalysis techniques have moved on a little from what you're describing. You won't be breaking a system that uses a unique 2048 bit RSA key pair each time with a plain text attack or a brute force key search.

Cheers,
Rick.
