An algorithm used in public key cryptography, commonly used in various protocols for secure online transmission of data.

[From the initial letters of the surnames of its inventors, Ronald Rivest (born 1947), American cryptographer, Adi Shamir (born 1952), Israeli cryptographer, and Leonard Adleman (born 1945), American computer scientist.]

The implementation of the RSA encryption and tokenization-based platform for securing credit card information was carried out on Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System environment on Pentium IV with 2.0 GHZ Duo Core Processor and 2 GB of RAM.
We first prove that is the only form of n under that an RSA encryption scheme can be applied to all messages belonging to [Z.sub.n].
Therefore, many approaches have been investigated for speeding-up the RSA encryption (or signature-verification) and RSA decryption (or signature-signing) [7-12].
RSA encryption process: encoding plaintext to be encrypted into an integer m (0 < m < n), the ciphertext C=[m.sup.e] (mod n) Decryption process: the plaintext m= [C.sup.d](mod n).RSA signature process: sig(m)= [m.sup.d](mod n).
