Why Is Rsa Unbreakable

Since you encrypted your message with Person B’s encryption key, only Person B has the decryption key (exponent d, modulus n) to decrypt it. Person C is only missing one piece of information, exponent d, which turns out to be the hardest piece of information to find.

Why is RSA more secure than AES?

The key size is therefore easy: AES-256 has close to 256 bits of security while RSA only offers about 112 bits of security. In that respect AES-256 has RSA-2048 completely beat. As for the algorithm, AES-256 is considered secure against analysis with quantum computers.

Is RSA good or bad?

RSA is an intrinsically fragile cryptosystem containing countless foot-guns which the average software engineer cannot be expected to avoid. Weak parameters can be difficult, if not impossible, to check, and its poor performance compels developers to take risky shortcuts.
