Data Encryption and Decryption Using RSA Algorithm in a Network Environment One of the principal challenges of resource sharing on data communication network is its security.

While a classical computer would take 300 trillion years or more to decrypt a 2,048-bit Rivest-Shamir-Adleman encryption, a quantum one could crack it in seconds, thanks to qubits.

RSA is an encryption technique developed in the late 1970s that involves generating public and private keys; the former is used for encryption and the latter decryption. Current standards call for ...
