Soon afterwards, Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Len Adleman invented the RSA algorithm, which could be used to produce primitive digital signatures ( although only as a proof-of-concept —" plain " RSA signatures are not secure < ref > For example any integer r " signs " m = r < sup > e </ sup > and the product s < sub > 1 </ sub > s < sub > 2 </ sub > of any two valid signatures s < sub > 1 </ sub >, s < sub > 2 </ sub > of m < sub > 1 </ sub >, m < sub > 2 </ sub > is a valid signature of the product m < sub > 1 </ sub > m < sub > 2 </ sub >.</ ref >).

With John Mauchly he invented the first general-purpose electronic digital computer ( ENIAC ), presented the first course in computing topics ( the Moore School Lectures ), founded the first commercial computer company ( the Eckert – Mauchly Computer Corporation ), and designed the first commercial computer in the U.
