Of course, the RSA algorithm deals with sending numbers, but seeing as any text can be converted to digits ... Also, I will use small prime numbers in this example, just to ease the calculations.

The private key is used to decrypt. Let’s follow the RSA algorithm step by step, with an example. Let’s say Bob wants to send a private message to Alice. The first step is for Alice to ...

For example, it took researchers two years recently to factor a 232-digit number, even with hundreds of parallel computers. That’s why the RSA algorithm is so effective. To understand what ...

The RSA algorithm, in essence ... (In maths jargon, this is called the modulus.) In our encryption example, the remainder is 176. And it's this number that I send to you; that's our encrypted ...

That’s because the secret prime numbers that underpin the security of an RSA key are easy to calculate using Shor’s algorithm ... “For example, when [the Fujitsu researchers] say 10,000 ...

RSA says researchers' results don't indicate a fundamental flaw in the RSA algorithm but more likely a problem with implementing it After having its flagship RSA crypto system called flawed this ...
