On a LAMP server with bc and bash these web pages
|
||
|
|
will let a user go through simple examples of the RSA public and private key
|
||
|
|
process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The prime numbers used are much smaller than for a normal
|
||
|
|
RSA key pair, but still have massive intermediate numbers
|
||
|
|
in the calculations. hese web pages also indicate the
|
||
|
|
prime number pairs effect on the size of incription key
|
||
|
|
possible (i.e. the number of bits it uses).
|
||
|
|
In fact you can try to RSA encrypt values too large
|
||
|
|
for the keys you have made, and see the erronous results of doing this.

This project was completed (in php4 originally) as part of a module
|
||
|
|
on web encryption and security
|
||
|
|
on my MSc in Software Engineering way back in 2003.... I thought it was a
|
||
|
|
good starting point for getting to grips with git-hub (where I had to create
|
||
|
|
proper rsa keys from linux, to get it all going).
