Q & A

What is the RSA algorithm and how does it function in cryptography?

The RSA algorithm is a widely-used encryption and decryption method in cryptography. Its security is based on the difficulty of factoring large composite numbers into prime factors. RSA uses two keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption, ensuring secure communication.

Who discovered the RSA algorithm?

The RSA algorithm was discovered by three researchers: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, which is why it is named RSA after them.

What is the primary factor that makes RSA secure?

The security of RSA lies in the difficulty of factoring large numbers, particularly when they are the product of two prime numbers. If a method to efficiently factor large composite numbers is discovered, RSA's security would be compromised.

What are the main components used in the RSA algorithm?

The main components in RSA are: two prime numbers (P and Q), their product (N), Euler's totient function (Φ(N)), the public key (e), the private key (d), the plaintext (M), and the ciphertext (C). These components are used in the encryption and decryption processes.

How is the public key (e) and private key (d) generated in RSA?

To generate the keys, you first select two prime numbers (P and Q), compute N = P * Q, and calculate Φ(N) = (P-1) * (Q-1). Then, a public key (e) is chosen such that it is coprime with Φ(N). The private key (d) is calculated as the modular inverse of e with respect to Φ(N).

What is the role of the public and private keys in the RSA encryption process?

In RSA, the public key is used for encryption, allowing anyone to send a secure message to the key holder. The private key, kept secret, is used for decryption, ensuring that only the key holder can read the encrypted message.

Can you explain the encryption formula in RSA?

In RSA encryption, the plaintext (M) is transformed into ciphertext (C) using the formula: C ≡ M^e mod N. This means that the plaintext is raised to the power of the public key (e) and then reduced modulo N.

How does the decryption process work in RSA?

In RSA decryption, the ciphertext (C) is transformed back into plaintext (M) using the formula: M ≡ C^d mod N. Here, the ciphertext is raised to the power of the private key (d) and reduced modulo N to recover the original message.

What is an example of how RSA encryption works with numbers?

In the example, Alis generates RSA keys with P = 47 and Q = 71, which gives N = 3,337. The public key e is chosen as 79. Bob encrypts a message by applying the encryption formula to the plaintext (e.g., 'hari ini') converted into numbers. The ciphertext is then sent to Alis for decryption using her private key (d = 119).

What challenges are associated with RSA encryption and how does it ensure security?

The main challenge with RSA encryption is the difficulty of factoring large composite numbers. The RSA algorithm is secure as long as no efficient algorithm is found to factor these large numbers. The strength of RSA lies in the computational complexity of finding the prime factors of large numbers used in the encryption process.
