A Detailed Introduction to the RSA Asymmetric Encryption Algorithm: How It Works and Its Security

The RSA encryption algorithm is the most commonly used asymmetric encryption algorithm, proposed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman in 1977. The name RSA is derived from the initials of their last names. It is the first relatively complete public key algorithm, which can be used for both encryption and digital signatures. This … Read more
