Ahh.. Public Key Encryption.. what fun!
For a good overall introduction to this method of cryptography,
read the following article:
Public Key Cryptography
BYTE magazine, January 1983, page 198
This is a good article! It covers a broad range of topics on the
subject including differences from conventional cytptosystems, the
RSA public key system (Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir & Len Adleman of
MIT), how to find large prime numbers, how to encrypt using RSA,
how to decrypt, how to derive the keys, digital signatures for
mail and such things and finally, a sample encryption program
written in BASIC. Have fun!
