How to keep information secure, when transmitted across insecure networks. ... RSA RSA cryptography is a popular asymmetric key cryptosystem, used in the famous PGP email program. I first became interested in this during the sixth form, and volunteered to talk to my school's maths society on the subject.

Modular Mathematics, RSA Cryptography ... To guard against this possibility, mathematicians are developing other forms of public key cryptography, such as elliptic curves and discrete logs, that have nothing to do with factoring. These may gain widespread acceptance in the future, but for now, rsa reigns supreme.

RSA cryptography is based on the following theorems: Theorem 1 (Fermat's Little Theorem) If p is a prime number, and a is an integer such that (a; p) = 1, then ap1 = 1(mod p): Proof: Consider the numbers (a 1), (a 2), . . . (a (p 1)), all modulo p. They are all different.
