RSA is an asymmetric system , which means that a key pair will be generated (we will see how soon) , a public key and a private key , obviously you keep your private key secure and pass around the public one. The algorithm was published in the 70’s by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, hence RSA , and it sort of implement’s a trapdoor function such as Diffie’s one.https://brainbit.uk/posts/can-you-reverse-diffiehellman/Thu, 22 Jun 2017 14:05:45 +0000https://brainbit.uk/posts/can-you-reverse-diffiehellman/Hi All , so in a previous article i tried to explain how D-H works , and i hope I did a good job of it and hopefully there’s no questions , but how hard would it be for the person eavesdropping to reverse the “secret exponents” and guess the key? Initial communication Remember that image ? let’s recap: Jerry and Simon agreed a prime and a base number , while they were chatting about this there’s a third person “Random” that is listening to everything.
