The RSA algorithm (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is a cryptographic algorithm that is used for specific security services or purposes, which enables public-key encryption and is widely used to secure sensitive data, particularly when it is being sent over an insecure network such as the HTTP. A public key is shared publicly, while a private key is secret and must not be shared with anyone. The following illustration highlights how asymmetric cryptography works: Example 1: RSA Encryption and Decryption with OAEP, package main //Required imports for Encryption & Decryption import ( "crypto/rand" "crypto/rsa" "crypto/sha512" "encoding/base64" "fmt" ) func main() { //3072 is the number of bits for RSA bitSize := 3072 //Generate RSA keys privateKey, err := rsa. GenerateKey(rand.Reader, bitSize) if err != nil { panic(err) } publicKey := privateKey.PublicKey //Your secret te

The cryptographic technique known as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman, or RSA, is used for certain security services or goals. It allows for public-key encryption and is frequently used to protect sensitive data, especially when it's being transferred over an unreliable network like the HTTP. Whereas a private key is confidential and needs to be kept to yourself, a public key is shared with others.   The following illustration highlights how asymmetric cryptography works:   Example:  RSA Encryption and Decryption with RSA-OAEP Padding from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA from Crypto.Cipher import PKCS1_OAEP import base64   # 2048 is the number of bits for RSA keys = RSA.generate( 2048 ) publicKey = keys.publickey() publicKeyPEM = publicKey.exportKey() print( "\n" ,publicKeyPEM.decode( 'ascii' )) privateKeyPEM = keys.exportKey() print( "\n" ,privateKeyPEM.decode( 'ascii' )) # Your secret text secretMessage = 'This is your secret' #encrypt the messag
