The messages and information that people and companies want to exchange cannot be exposed to prying eyes. And users need to be sure that they are really dealing with the person or company they think they are dealing with.
This is why encryption is the cornerstone of the internet as we know it today. Specifically, it has been digital encryption, courtesy of RSA and other algorithms, that has enabled the digital transformation we have all experienced since the 1990s.
As Avesta Hojjati, VP of Engineering at digital trust provider DigiCert explains, "RSA is a type of encryption algorithm that is asymmetric, meaning you have a public and private key. The public key is used to encrypt data and anyone has access to private key will be the only person who can decrypt the data and read the data."
