Definition of "public key cryptosystem" |
In a public key cryptosystem the key is made public. For example, with the RSA encryption system, two numbers (n, e) are made public. (A separate private key (n, d) for decryption is kept secret.) RSA, like most all of the public key cryptosystems that are regarded as secure, are based on number theory techniques that involve the multiplication of large integers . It s known how to break these systems, but the computational burden usually can be made far beyond our current capabilities by increasing the key size. / system that uses a pair of keys, one public and one private, to simplify the key distribution problem. |
