    Abstract

    LOOMIS, Paul A.   A Historical Introduction to RSA crypto system. Rev Inv Tec [online]. 2016, vol.4, n.1, pp. 51-56. ISSN 2306-0522.

    Abstract We give a basic historical introduction to cryptography for those unfamiliar with number theory. After treating a few ancient cryptosystems, we move to the problem of creating an encryption function whose inverse is difficult to find, and show how the most well-known solution - the RSA cryptosystem - is basedon mathematics from 300BC to the present.

    Keywords : cryptography; mathematical foundations of cryptography; public key encryption.
