On use small primes numbers to generate the keys, the decrypt function don´t work correctly and don´t decript the encripted data. Does not occurs with big primes numbers.

Checking the problem, noted that the error should be on the way in which the encrypt function packs the data ($s argument).

You souldnt use such small number anyway! Considered "normal" are numbers of 512-1024 bits = 2^512 which is a lot.
