simple_rsa is a very simple implementation of the basic RSA encryption algorithm
This program does NOT fulfil any safety standards! It should NOT be used for real encryption, because it does not provide any safety! This program is only written for teaching purposes.

simple_rsa should work on most platforms, but has been tested on Linux amd64 system using gcc
To install simple_rsa, you have to compile it, for instance with GCC:
gcc -W -Wall -o RSA simple_rsa.c -lm
simple_rsa is able to create a RSA key pair including public and private key. While key generation important variables of the generation process are displayed. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem) for RSA algorithm)
To start simple_rsa, just type the following command in a shell
RSA
