At a certain point these become too much effort to compute. This limits the max size.

Could it be that you missed a few cases? I'm less worried about the code path where you generate the RSA key yourself (although we should prevent that footgun as well), but more about those where the peer sends us its pubkey. What could path would be taken during the TLS / Noise handshake when we receive the peer's key?

PublicKeyFromProto uses UnmarshalRsaPublicKey under the hood which is covered by this patch. I think only UnmarshalRsaPublicKey and GenerateRSAKeyPair give you an RSA public key.

Restrict the RSA key sizes we expect from peers. Protects us from spending a lot of compute on verifying signatures from big keys. Similar to libp2p/go-libp2p#2454
