I had a Source request some information on how encryption works. Rather than get into the mathematical nuances I figured it would be easiest to discuss the types of encryption used. As I use Linux based protocols,
DSA and Elgamal are both based on an underlying mathematical problem, called the discrete logarithm problem, or DLP. The DLP is believed to be very, very hard to solve in any reasonable amount of time.
RSA is based on an underlying mathematical problem, called the integer factorization problem, or IFP. The IFP is believed to be very, very hard to solve in any . . .
