Heard in 1 episode across 1 show since Jul 2026

The RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) cryptosystem is one of the oldest and most widely used public-key cryptosystems for secure data transmission. First publicly described in 1977, its security relies on the practical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers.
