RSA Algorithm Implementation

[aksh555]

Description

RSA algorithm is an asymmetric cryptography algorithm, ie. it works on two different keys - Public Key and Private Key. As the name describes, the Public Key is given to everyone and the Private key is kept private.

An example of asymmetric cryptography:

• A client (for instance a browser) sends its public key to the server and requests for some data.
• The server encrypts the data using the client’s public key and sends the encrypted data.
• Client receives this data and decrypts it.

Since this is asymmetric, no third party except the browser can decrypt the data even if they have the public key of the browser.

Task

Generate dummy data, encrypt it using RSA Algorithm and then decrypt it. Additionally, attach a screenshot for sample input.

Details

• Technical Specifications: Only one implementation will be accepted for each language. Once the implementation for a language has been taken up (i.e checked in the 'Issue Progress' section), you must choose one from the remaining.
• Type of issue: Single
• Time Limit: 2 days (This time limit will be enforced once someone has claimed the issue. If that person hasn't submitted a PR within this limit, the issue will be assigned to the person who applied next)

Issue requirements / progress

• [x] C++
• [x] Java
• [x] Python

Directory Structure

Create a new folder named "63_RSA_language name" inside the 'Systems' folder and add the required code file in the Systems/63_RSA_language name. (where language_name is one of the languages given above)

Note

1. Please claim the issue along with language choice first by commenting here before starting to work on it.
2. Once you are done with the task and have created a Pull Request, please tag @aksh555 to request a review.

Hi, can I work on the Python version ?

[aksh555]

Sure @funky-spaghetti, go ahead

[krithikvaidya]

@aksh555 I'll close the issue since the PR has been merged.

[aksh555]

@krithikvaidya The other 2 implementations are still open to take up, so you can reopen it
