Modified RSA Algorithm: A Secure Approach

Abstract

In this paper we introduce an approach which is more secure than original RSA algorithm, which is used for digital signatures and encryption in public key cryptography. This approach eliminates the need to transfer n, the product of two random but essentially big prime numbers, in the public key due to which it becomes difficult for the intruder to guess the factors of n and hence the encrypted message remains safe from the hackers. Thus this approach provides a more secure path for transmission and reception of messages through public key cryptography.
