Term · Cybersecurity · MLC-T-CYB-003625
1. For the purposes of this specification, RSA is a public-key signature algorithm specified by PKCS #1. As a reversible public-key algorithm, it may also be used for encryption.
2. Rivest, Shamir, Adelman; an algorithm approved in [FIPS 186] for digital signatures and in [SP 800-56B] for key establishment.
3. Algorithm developed by Rivest, Shamir and Adelman (allowed in FIPS 186-3 and specified in ANS X9.31 and PKCS #1).
4. A public-key algorithm that is used for key establishment and the generation and verification of digital signatures.
5. An algorithm approved in FIPS 186 for digital signatures and in SP 800-56B for key establishment.
