Discussion of the blog article A Small Introduction to RSA Encryption & the Mathematics.
RSA Encryption has always been amazing to me. It allows you to publish an encryption key – also known as e – without having to compromise your decryption key – known as d. One amazing feat that I find the most interesting is that generally in practice that e is usually always the same number as follows.
e = 65537
I will do a small review of RSA, explain how this default e was chosen, and discuss why this may or may not be a problem.
How does RSA Encryption Work?
This is a very basic rundown
