How does RSA encryption work?

Can you explain how RSA encryption works?

Sure! RSA encryption is a public-key cryptosystem that uses two keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.

What are the steps involved in generating the keys?

First, two large prime numbers are chosen and multiplied together. Then, the public key is derived from these primes.

How does the encryption process actually work?

In encryption, the plaintext message is converted into ciphertext using the recipient's public key, making it secure.

And how is the message decrypted?

The recipient uses their private key to decrypt the ciphertext back into plaintext, ensuring only they can read it.
