Description

RSA Cryptography allows an individual who wants to receive encoded messages to give other people a "public key" that encrypts the messages in such a way that the person who gave the key is the only one who knows how to decrypt them. The public key is a pair of numbers. Another pair of numbers makes up a corresponding "private key," which only the creator of the keys knows, and keeps secret. It is this private key that helps you decrypt numbers.
