RSA cryptosystem
B. Ibrahimpašić
Abstract
The persons involved in communication do not always
have a secure communication channel and the exchange of the keys can be a big problem. One possible solution is the usage of public key
cryptography. In these systems it is practically impossible to
calculate the decryption function from the encryption function. The
most popular public key cryptosystem in use today is the RSA. Its
security is based on the difficulty of finding the prime factors
of large integers.
