What are the 5 basic steps for the RSA cipher?
Friday, 15 September 2023 by Silvio Pereira
The RSA cipher is a widely used public-key encryption algorithm that relies on the mathematical properties of prime numbers and modular arithmetic. It was developed in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, and has since become one of the most important cryptographic algorithms in use today. The RSA cipher is based on
Why in the RSA cipher the public key has one part, while the private key has two parts?
Wednesday, 13 September 2023 by Silvio Pereira
The RSA cipher, which is widely used in public-key cryptography, utilizes a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. These keys are used in modular algebra computations to encrypt and decrypt messages. The public key consists of one part, while the private key consists of two parts. To understand the role of
