RSA

← Back to Asymmetric Encryption

An asymmetric encryption algorithm based on the difficulty of factoring large prime numbers. RSA requires 2048+ bit keys for adequate security. While still widely used, RSA is being replaced by Elliptic Curve Cryptography for many applications due to ECC’s smaller key sizes and better performance.

Key Properties

• Prime Factorization Basis
• RSA Key Sizes
• RSA vs ECC Comparison
