This is unfortunate as the only prerequisite for understanding the algorithm is a decent background in algebra. I'll try to cover the basics in this article.
A High-Level Overview
RSA is classified as a public key infrastructure (PKI). In the RSA cryptosystem, each participant has a public key and a private key. The public key is published to, well the public. ...
