RSA Explanation

You will learn how RSA works.

How it works

Public-key cryptography is an asymmetric algorithm, so it, unlike symmetrical algorithms, does not require a secure initial exchange of keywords. This entire process is compressed into a single exchange of data. In public-key cryptography, you have a public and private key. Your public key can be seen by anyone, and your private key is secret; only you know can know it. If Bob wants to send a message to Alice, his message with Alice's public key using algorithms that are non-reversible (1+x=2 is reversible because you can find what x is, 1) to prevent a malicious eavesdropper, Eve, from cracking the message. Bob then sends the cipher text to Alice. Using her private key, Alice is able to decrypt the received message, and read it without Eve being able to decode it.
