Chapter 12, Problem 50CRP

Program Plan Intro

Public key encryption system:

A public key encryption system is an encryption system in which there are two keys. These keys are used for encryption and decryption differently rather than same keys in a symmetrical system. These two keys are public key and private key.

RSA algorithm:

The large integers whose factors are difficult to determine are beneficial to decrypt content. The method produced using factors of large numbers is called RSA algorithm. It is based on the names of its inventors. This algorithm was invented by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman.
