I will be using Visual Studio Code for this tutorial. How the RSA encryption and decryption worksĮach pair of the RSA algorithm has two keys, i.e. One key is used for encrypting the message which can only be decrypted by the other key.įor instance, let’s say we have two peers communicating with each other in a channel secured by the RSA algorithm. The sender will encrypt the plain text with the recipient’s public key. This is so that the receiver is the only one who can decrypt the message using their private key.
