A study of public key 'e' in RSA algorithm

Abstract

RSA Algorithm is public-key cryptography which exposed from different attack based on the public key 'e' and modulus 'n'. Different studies on RSA Algorithm modify only the modulus 'n' and disregard the public key 'e'. The study aimed to modify an RSA Algorithm based on generation of different value of public key 'e' and show different result based on original equation of RSA Algorithm. A modified RSA Algorithm was developed to generate different value of public key 'e' and compared the result based on the output value and speed of execution. The results show that the modification of RSA Algorithm suggested to give importance on the public key 'e' which creates a new scheme in the encryption and decryption process.
