RSA isn't intended (and can't) encrypt large amounts of data. The
payload of a 1024 byte is on the neighborhood of 100 bytes. RSA is
intended to for signatures and session key exchange. Symmetric block
ciphers like AES are intended for large amounts of data.

And, no, SHA-1 isn't a candidate for page encryption, either.
