The prime numbers are usually kept secret. Someone using RSA encryption would have to create and publish a public key based on two large prime numbers. Recall that a key is basically a string of characters used within an encryption algorithm. In this system of encryption there are two keys: a public key and a private key. AES encryption, alternatively, is a block cipher. The term RSA is an acronym for Rivest– Shamir– Adleman, which are the surnames of its creators. RSA is a public/private key based system of cryptography developed in the 1970s.
Let’s do an RSA Algorithm Encrypt/Decrypt Example with Python.
