24. 24 RSA from the RSA FAQ RSA is a public-key cryptosystem –take two large primes, p and q, –find their product n = pq; (n is called the modulus) –Choose, e, less than n and relatively prime to (p- 1)(q-1), and find its inverse, d, mod (p-1)(q-1), which means that: ed = 1 mod (p-1)(q-1) ; – e and d are called the public and private exponents, respectively. –The public key is the pair (n,e); –the private key is d. –The factors p and q must be kept secret, or destroyed.

25. 25 Two numbers are relatively prime when they share no factors in common other than 1. In other words, if the greatest common divisor of a and n is equal to 1. This is written: gcd(a,n) = 1

26. 26 It is difficult (presumably) to obtain the private key d from the public key (n,e). If one could factor n into p and q, however, then one could obtain the private key d. Thus the entire security of RSA is predicated on the assumption that factoring is difficult.

27. 27 RSA encryption: suppose Alice wants to send a private message, m, to Bob. Alice creates the ciphertext c = m^e mod n, e and n are Bob's public key. To decrypt, Bob computes: m = c^d mod n, and recovers the original message m; the relationship between e and d ensures that Bob correctly recovers m. Since only Bob knows d, only Bob can decrypt.

28. 28 public-key operations take O(k^2) steps, private key operations take O(k^3) steps, key generation takes O(k^4) steps where k is the number of bits in the modulus
