  2. RSA Factoring Challenge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Factoring_Challenge

    The RSA Factoring Challenge was a challenge put forward by RSA Laboratories on March 18, 1991 [1] to encourage research into computational number theory and the practical difficulty of factoring large integers and cracking RSA keys used in cryptography. They published a list of semiprimes (numbers with exactly two prime factors) known as the ...

  3. RSA (cryptosystem) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)

    RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem, one of the oldest widely used for secure data transmission. The initialism "RSA" comes from the surnames of Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, who publicly described the algorithm in 1977. An equivalent system was developed secretly in 1973 at Government Communications ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS

    PKCS Standards Summary; Version Name Comments PKCS #1: 2.2: RSA Cryptography Standard [1]: See RFC 8017. Defines the mathematical properties and format of RSA public and private keys (ASN.1-encoded in clear-text), and the basic algorithms and encoding/padding schemes for performing RSA encryption, decryption, and producing and verifying signatures.

  5. Digital signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

    Definition. A digital signature scheme typically consists of three algorithms: A key generation algorithm that selects a private key uniformly at random from a set of possible private keys. The algorithm outputs the private key and a corresponding public key. A signing algorithm that, given a message and a private key, produces a signature.

    The Constitution of South Africa is the supreme law of the Republic of South Africa. It provides the legal foundation for the existence of the republic, it sets out the rights and duties of its citizens, and defines the structure of the Government. The current constitution, the country's fifth, was drawn up by the Parliament elected in 1994 in ...

  7. National routes in South Africa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../National_routes_in_South_Africa

    National routes in South Africa. National routes in South Africa are a class of trunk roads and freeways which connect major cities. They form the highest category in the South African route numbering scheme, and are designated with route numbers beginning with "N", from N1 to N18. Most segments of the national route network are officially ...

  8. RSA Security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Security

    RSA Security LLC, [5] formerly RSA Security, Inc. and trade name RSA, is an American computer and network security company with a focus on encryption and decryption standards. . RSA was named after the initials of its co-founders, Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, after whom the RSA public key cryptography algorithm was also named.

  9. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    Construct an ambiguous form (a, b, c) that is an element f ∈ GΔ of order dividing 2 to obtain a coprime factorization of the largest odd divisor of Δ in which Δ = −4ac or Δ = a(a − 4c) or Δ = (b − 2a) (b + 2a). If the ambiguous form provides a factorization of n then stop, otherwise find another ambiguous form until the ...
