RSA Algorithm
RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) algorithm is an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm that is widely used in the modern public-key cryptosystems. We have been hearing RSA algorithm all the time, but some of us actually did not know what it really is and how it works.
In this article, I will systematically discuss the theory behind the RSA algorithm. The theory guarantees that the cryptosystems built on the top of the RSA algorithm are relatively safe and hard to crack, which is fundamentally interesting.
