- I'm interested in cryptography, but know almost nothing about what sort of
- algorithms being used now. I have heard of such things as Public Keys, PGP,
- and RSA, but know nothing of how they work.
-
- Can anyone give a brief explanation of what a Public Key is? What are PGP and
- RSA? Any info I could get at the library?
-
- Thanks
