Introduction
•What is RSA?
• RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is a widely used public-key
cryptosystem for secure data transmission.
• It is based on the mathematical properties of large prime
numbers.
•Key Concepts:
• Public Key: Used for encryption.
• Private Key: Used for decryption.
•Applications:
• Secure communication (e.g., HTTPS, SSL/TLS).
• Digital signatures.
• Data encryption.
Common Problems Related to RSA
•Key Generation Challenges:
• Finding large prime numbers.
• Ensuring the security of the private key.
•Computational Complexity:
• Modular exponentiation is computationally expensive.
•Security Concerns:
• Vulnerable to brute-force attacks if key size is small.
• Vulnerable to quantum computing attacks (Shor’s algorithm).
•Implementation Issues:
• Handling large integers in programming languages.
RSA Algorithm Overview
•Steps in RSA:
• Key Generation:
• Choose two large prime numbers, pp and qq.
• Compute.
• Choose public key ee such that and .
• Compute private key .
• Encryption:
• , where M is the plaintext message.
• Decryption:
• , where C is the ciphertext.
“1. Generate two large prime numbers, p and q.
2. Compute n = p * q.
3. Compute φ(n) = (p-1) * (q-1).
4. Choose e such that 1 < e < φ(n) and gcd(e, φ(n)) = 1.
5. Compute d such that d ≡ e^(-1) mod φ(n).
6. Public Key: (e, n).
7. Private Key: (d, n).
