A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE POSSIBLE ATTACKS ON RSA CRYPTOSYSTEM
Varun Shukla, Abhishek Choubey · 2012
In public-key or asymmetric cryptography, each individual has a pair of keys, ( e, d ), where e is the public key, and d is the private key. The public key is used to encrypt the message sent, and the private key is used to decrypt the ciphertext (for the verification purpose).RSA[6] is frequently used in applications such as e-mail, e-banking, etc, where security of digital data is vital. Over years, numerous attacks on RSA illustrating RSA’s present and potential vulnerability have brought our attention to the security issues of RSA cryptosystem. We will investigate some attacks and will propose a new possible attack.Here is how RSA encryption and decryption works. To encrypt a message M (<N), one must perform: C := M e mod N and also M:= C d = M (ed) = mod N ,Using the above
