  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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_numbers

    RSA numbers. In mathematics, the RSA numbers are a set of large semiprimes (numbers with exactly two prime factors) that were part of the RSA Factoring Challenge. The challenge was to find the prime factors of each number. It was created by RSA Laboratories in March 1991 to encourage research into computational number theory and the practical ...

  4. RSA problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_problem

    RSA problem. In cryptography, the RSA problem summarizes the task of performing an RSA private-key operation given only the public key. The RSA algorithm raises a message to an exponent, modulo a composite number N whose factors are not known. Thus, the task can be neatly described as finding the eth roots of an arbitrary number, modulo N.

  5. Actuary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuary

    An actuary is a professional with advanced mathematical skills who deals with the measurement and management of risk and uncertainty. [ 1 ] These risks can affect both sides of the balance sheet and require asset management, liability management, and valuation skills. [ 2 ] Actuaries provide assessments of financial security systems, with a ...

  6. 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 ...

    The value d can then be used to sign arbitrary OS software. The keys factored by RSA Lattice Siever (the TI-92+, TI-73, TI-89, Voyage 200, TI-89 Titanium, TI-84+ / TI-84 Silver Edition OS signing and date-stamp signing keys) are similar but with different values of n, p, q, and d. A single date-stamp signing key is shared by all models.

  8. Interest rate cap and floor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interest_rate_cap_and_floor

    In finance, an interest rate cap is a type of interest rate derivative in which the buyer receives payments at the end of each period in which the interest rate exceeds the agreed strike price. An example of a cap would be an agreement to receive a payment for each month the LIBOR rate exceeds 2.5%. Similarly, an interest rate floor is a ...

  9. Duration (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duration_(finance)

    Duration (finance) In finance, the duration of a financial asset that consists of fixed cash flows, such as a bond, is the weighted average of the times until those fixed cash flows are received. When the price of an asset is considered as a function of yield, duration also measures the price sensitivity to yield, the rate of change of price ...
