Prime numbers keep your encrypted messages safe – ABC
The RSA algorithm, in essence, allows a message to be encrypted without the sender knowing the key, says Lynn Batten, a mathematician and …
What would happen if RSA used composites instead of primes?
What would happen if RSA used composites instead of primes?
You can adapt the RSA cryptosystem to work with an arbitrarily large number of prime factors—this is known as multi-prime RSA. It has been studied as an …
Why does RSA need p and q to be prime numbers?
Why does RSA need p and q to be prime numbers?
With p and q prime, N has two factors. With p and q composite, N has at least four factors, possibly more.

Prime Number Hide-and-Seek: How the RSA Cipher Works
= 1 and T < R, then T^(phi(R)) = 1 (mod R). Or, in words: If T and R are relatively prime, with T being the smaller number, then when we multiply T with itself …
PSA: Do Not Use the New Prime Number for RSA Encryption
PSA: Do Not Use the New Prime Number for RSA Encryption
RSA encryption uses the difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers to make sure hackers can’t find your credit card number.
Mathematicians Seal Back Door to Breaking RSA Encryption
Mathematicians Seal Back Door to Breaking RSA Encryption
The security of RSA encryption rests on the fact that there’s no fast way to identify the prime factors of very large numbers.
Breaking RSA through Insufficiently Random Primes
Breaking RSA through Insufficiently Random Primes
Basically, the SafeZone library doesn’t sufficiently randomize the two prime numbers it used to generate RSA keys. They’re too close to each …
