Cryptography Fundamentals - RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman) - Lecture 8

Explore the groundbreaking RSA encryption method in this 22-minute podcast by Bill Buchanan OBE. Delve into the historical context of August 1977, when Martin Gardner's Scientific American column presented a challenge that would revolutionize cryptography. Learn about the work of Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman, who developed a two-key system for encryption and decryption based on Diffie and Hellman's trapdoor functions. Discover how this innovation changed the world of secure communication and continues to be relevant today. Gain insights into the fundamental principles of RSA and its significance in modern cryptography.
