  2. 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.

  3. Key size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_size

    In cryptography, key size or key length refers to the number of bits in a key used by a cryptographic algorithm (such as a cipher). Key length defines the upper-bound on an algorithm's security (i.e. a logarithmic measure of the fastest known attack against an algorithm), because the security of all algorithms can be violated by brute-force ...

  4. Block size (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_size_(cryptography)

    Thus even when used with a proper encryption mode (e.g. CBC or OFB), only 2 32 × 8 B = 32 GB of data can be safely sent under one key. [citation needed] In practice a greater margin of security is desired, restricting a single key to the encryption of much less data — say a few hundred megabytes. At one point that seemed like a fair amount ...

    It defines the mathematical properties of public and private keys, primitive operations for encryption and signatures, secure cryptographic schemes, and related ASN.1 syntax representations. The current version is 2.2 (2012-10-27).

  7. Security level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_level

    For example, AES-128 (key size 128 bits) is designed to offer a 128-bit security level, which is considered roughly equivalent to a RSA using 3072-bit key. In this context, security claim or target security level is the security level that a primitive was initially designed to achieve, although "security level" is also sometimes used in those ...

    RSA-4096 ransomware is one of the best reasons. The name refers to a piece of ransomware that deploys encryption attack. The attack renders data into unreadable state using enhanced scrambling system.

  9. RSA problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_problem

    More specifically, the RSA problem is to efficiently compute P given an RSA public key (N, e) and a ciphertext C ≡ P e (mod N). The structure of the RSA public key requires that N be a large semiprime (i.e., a product of two large prime numbers), that 2 < e < N, that e be coprime to φ(N), and that 0 ≤ C < N.
