NAME: RSA 64-bit
CREATOR: Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, Leonard Adleman
PB AUTHOR: Wayne Diamond
DESCRIPTION: The worlds first (publically disclosed) secure public key exchange system
NOTES: The honour of finding an asymmetric cipher fell to James Ellis and Clifford Cocks of the British GCHQ in 1973. Sadly, due to the secrecy of their work they had to remain silent and watch while their discoveries were rediscovered 4 years later by Diffie, Hellman, Merkle, Rivest, Shamir and Adleman over the next three years.
For stronger RSA we need a good PB big number library! *hint*
