RSA (Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman)

RSA is a Public-Key Cryptography system for both Encryption and Authentication (its name is derived from the surnames of the three inventors). For Encryption, RSA is combined with a Secret-Key Cryptography system, such as DES, to encrypt a message by means of an RSA digital envelope. For Authentication, RSA is usually combined with a Cryptographic Hash Function, such as MD5, to sign a message.
