Breaking RSA
Encryptions
Overview
• RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman): A public-key cryptosystem from 1977.
• Uses two large primes to generate public and private keys.
• Public key encrypts; private key decrypts.
• Commonly used to securely share symmetric keys for data encryption.
RSA Algorithm Steps
• Key Generation
• Key Distribution
• Encryption
• Decryption
