Demystifying RSA Encryption and Decryption with OpenSSL

In the realm of secure communication, RSA encryption plays a pivotal role, offering a robust solution through its public-key cryptography. This blog post aims to demystify the intricacies of RSA encryption and decryption, using the versatile OpenSSL tool. Overview of RSA RSA, named after its inventors Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman, relies on the mathematical properties of large prime numbers. It involves the generation of a public key for encryption and a corresponding private key for decryption....
