THE MATHEMATICS OF ASYMMETRIC CRYPTOGRAPHY
- Katedra matematiky, Pedagogická fakulta UP v Olomouci
The RSA cryptosystem is the most widely-used public-key cryptography algorithm in the world. It can be used to encrypt a message without the need to exchange a secret key separately. Its security is based on the difficulty of factoring large integers.
Keywords: cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, RSA encryption, CAS Maxima
