Asymmetric Cryptography: RSA (II)

In the previous post we talked about RSA and how its maths mork. As I promised, today I bring you a real implementation of the algorithm, using Python. The scope is to understand how RSA works in order to use it in a secure way.

Asymmetric Cryptography: RSA (I)

Today I would like to talk to you about one of the most important asymmetric cryptographic algorithms in history: RSA.
Because of the algorithm complexity, I decided to divide this post in two parts. In the first one I will explain the algorithm and how the maths do their job here (don’t run away! They are not so complicated!). In the next part I will show you a real RSA implementation.
