Java Program to Implement the RSA Algorithm

This is a java program to implement RSA algorithm. RSA is one of the first practicable public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission. In such a cryptosystem, the encryption key is public and differs from the decryption key which is kept secret. In RSA, this asymmetry is based on the practical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers, the factoring problem. RSA stands for Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement the RSA Algorithm. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
