An overview of RSA
Chris Hughes gives a brief overview of the RSA algorithm and its history.
When we met the Diffie-Hellman algorithm, we saw how it created a shared secret between Alice and Bob. But they had no control over what that secret was. The RSA algorithm, by contrast, allows the sender to control the secret message that is shared.
In this video, Chris gives a brief overview of the RSA algorithm and its history.
