|
||
|
|
Unsurprisingly, source code and implementation details for what is
|
||
|
|
the basis for secure transactions and identification on the web are
|
||
|
|
hard to come by. This page, however, describes coding details and
|
||
|
|
is linked to discussions on RSA implementation.

|
A description of the protocol surrounding encryption and identity verification.
|

Essential reading for those implementing (and not just looking at the mathematical theory)
|

|
|
of the SSL/RSA.

> Algorithm run though </a> <img SRC="blu_bullet_half.gif">
|
||
|
|
A run though a complete key generation and encryption sequence
|
||
|
|
using small numbers. Uses the variable 'm' where most texts
|
||
|
|
use 'phi'. Also a Java implementation example.

|
||
|
|
An example for a < 10 bit encrypted sequence. Misses out the phase of
|
||
|
|
finding co-prime keys, but gives an overview of how RSA works.
