Practical RSA Cryptography: Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

"Practical RSA Cryptography"

"Practical RSA Cryptography" is a comprehensive and authoritative guide that expertly bridges theory and application in one of modern cryptography’s most enduring systems. The book rigorously explores the mathematical foundations behind the RSA algorithm, including in-depth analyses of prime number theory, modular arithmetic, and the critical assumptions that underpin cryptographic security. Readers are introduced to advanced topics such as the multiplicative group modulo n, the Carmichael function, and algorithmic intricacies of integer factorization—offering both foundational knowledge and insight into what makes RSA resilient against attack.

Moving beyond theory, the book delves into real-world cryptographic engineering, offering detailed coverage of core principles, variant algorithms, and essential strategies for robust key management. With chapters on secure random number generation, automated key lifecycle practices in distributed environments, and nuanced treatments of cryptographic library selection, readers gain actionable guidance for implementing RSA across diverse platforms. The book also surfaces common engineering pitfalls, outcome-driven case studies of RSA failures, and best practices for deployment in resource-constrained and high-performance environments alike.

Completing its scope, "Practical RSA Cryptography" addresses contemporary threat landscapes, including side-channel and protocol-level attacks, and looks ahead to the unsettling implications of quantum computing on RSA's long-term security. Coverage includes actionable migration strategies, hybrid post-quantum approaches, and the latest industry standards for cryptographic governance, compliance, and risk management. Whether designing secure protocols, safeguarding key assets, or navigating regulatory requirements, this book provides researchers, engineers, and security professionals with the definitive resource for mastering RSA cryptography in practice and in anticipation of what lies ahead.
