[REBOL] RSA Encryption
From: mattsmac::hotmail::com at: 13-Nov-2003 9:22
Can someone please explain to me, in as few mathematical equations as
possible, why RSA public/private encryption works? The way it looks to me
in the documentation that came with REBOL, you have to send the recieving
party the public key. If this is the case, what stops some hacker from
intercepting that public key and using it to decrypt the data? How is this
any different from using a syncronous encryption method and then just
sending the encryption key along with the data? It just doesn't make sense
to me.
