THE CRYPTOGRAPHY GUIDE: RSA. RSA RSA is a public key algorithm invented by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman. The key used for encryption is different from (but related to) the key used for decryption.The algorithm is based on modular exponentiation.hen talking of key lengths in connection with RSA, what is meant is the modulus length. An algorithm that uses different keys for encryption and decryption is said to be asymmetric. Anybody knowing the public key can use it to create encrypted messages, but only the owner of the secret key can decrypt them.
Because RSA SecurID authentication works with RSA Authentication Manager, an RSA Authentication Manager server is required and must be directly accessible from the View Connection Server host. To use RSA SecurID authentication, each user must have a SecurID token that is registered with RSA Authentication Manager. An RSA SecurID token is a piece of hardware or software that generates an authentication code at fixed intervals. RSA SecurID provides two-factor authentication by requiring knowledge of both a PIN and an authentication code. The authentication code is available only on the RSA SecurID token.
