In cryptography, RSA (which stands for the names of the people who first publicly described it; Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman ) is an algorithm for public-key cryptography. Clifford Cocks, a British mathematician working for the British intelligence agency GCHQ described an equivalent system in an internal document in 1973. His discovery, however, was not revealed until 1998 due to its top-secret classification, and Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman devised RSA independently of Cocks' work.
RSA uses asymmetric keys, i.e. key "pairs" for encryption and decryption. The message is converted to an integer using a padding scheme and then encrypted using modulo arithmetic and the one of the keys of the pair. It is decrypted using the same modulo arithmetic and the the other key of the pair.

Which encryption algorithm is commonly used as a public key cipher?
Type your answer here... RSA
What comes closest to being perfectly secure encryption scheme a- one-time pad b- caesar cipher c- DES d- RSA?
One Time pad
Is encryption crackable?
Encryption is converting plain text into cipher text . Yes, encryption can be cracked and then the text can be decrypted.
What is fullform of RSA token?
There are number of encryption techniques one such technique is RSA. RSA stands for rivest shamir algorithm.
Most encryption software products use a method called?
Public-Key Encryption RSA Technology
What is an Encryption algorithm that switches the order of characters?
A transposition cipher
Why do some block cipher modes of operation only use encryption while others use both encryption and decryption?
Some block cipher modes of operation only use encryption because the input is set to some initialization vector and the leftmost bits of the output of the encryption function are XORed with the first segment of plain text p1 to produce the first unit of cipher text C1 and it is transmitted. While in decryption, the cipher text is XORed with the output of the encryption function to produce the plain text.
Which encryption process uses two keys and includes RSA as a common solution?
Type your answer here... AsymmetricAnswer Explanation: Asymmetric encryption uses a key pair, a public key, and a private key for the encryption and decryption process. One key is used to encrypt the information, and the other key is used to decrypt it. Asymmetric encryption uses Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) as a common asymmetric solution to encrypt information.It could be that the person posing the question was looking for SSL (or TLS) which use encryption to secure communications. While RSA is not the only encryption method accepted, both SSL and TLS can, and commonly DO, use RSA as the negotiated encryption scheme.
What is cipher in cryptography?
Encryption and decryption algorithms are called ciphers in cryptography
What encryption process uses two keys and includes RSA as a common solution?
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are both common encryption processes which accept RSA as a common method for encryption. Since RSA uses two keys (public and private) both SSL and TLS would satisfy the conditions of the question.
Which algorithm was the first to be found suitable for both digital signing and encryption?
RSA
What is a secure encryption?
Encryption is a process of translating a message from the Plaintext, into an encoded message, called the Ciphertext. This is usually accomplished using a secret Encryption Key and a cryptographic Cipher. ss of translating a message, called the Plaintext, into an encoded message, called the Ciphertext. This is usually accomplished using a secret Encryption Key and a cryptographic Cipher.
