The RSA Algorithm is a widely used method for secure data transmission. It relies on the mathematical properties of prime numbers to create a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. This ensures that only the intended recipient can read the message, as the private key is kept secret. Developed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman in 1977, the RSA Algorithm is foundational in modern cryptography. Its security is based on the difficulty of factoring large composite numbers, making it challenging for unauthorized users to decrypt the information without the private key.
