While it is officially termed " Rivest Cipher 4 ", the RC acronym is alternatively understood to stand for " Ron's Code " ( see also RC2, RC5 and RC6 ).

He is a co-inventor of the RSA algorithm ( along with Ron Rivest and Len Adleman ), a co-inventor of the Feige – Fiat – Shamir identification scheme ( along with Uriel Feige and Amos Fiat ), one of the inventors of differential cryptanalysis and has made numerous contributions to the fields of cryptography and computer science.

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 >).

Ronald Linn Rivest ( born 1947, Schenectady, New York ) is a cryptographer.

He is known for being a co-inventor of the RSA ( Rivest – Shamir – Adleman ) cryptosystem in 1977, and of DNA computing.

It was popularized by the canonical algorithms textbook Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein, in which it is both introduced and proved.

Adi Shamir, one of the authors of RSA: Ron Rivest | Rivest, Adi Shamir | Shamir and Leonard Adleman | Adleman

RSA stands for Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, who first publicly described it in 1977.

His discovery, however, was not revealed until 1998 due to its top-secret classification, and Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman devised RSA independently of Cocks ' work.

The RSA algorithm was publicly described in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman at MIT ; the letters RSA are the initials of their surnames, listed in the same order as on the paper.

RC4 was designed by Ron Rivest of RSA Security in 1987.

RSA Security has never officially released the algorithm ; Rivest has, however, linked to the English Wikipedia article on RC4 in his own course notes.

It was the need to synchronize the scramblers that suggested to James H. Ellis the idea for non-secret encryption which ultimately led to the invention of both the RSA encryption algorithm and Diffie-Hellman key exchange well before either was reinvented publicly by Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman, or by Diffie and Hellman.

For his contribution to the invention of the RSA cryptosystem, Adleman, along with Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, has been a recipient of the 1996 Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award and the 2002 ACM Turing Award, often called the Nobel Prize of Computer Science.

* Ron Rivest – cryptographer, co-inventor of the RSA encryption algorithm

* Ronald L. Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard M. Adleman's first public-key cryptosystem ( RSA ).

RSA was named after the initials of its co-founders, Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Len Adleman, after whom the RSA public key cryptography algorithm was also named.

Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman developed the RSA encryption algorithm in 1977.

He invented the widely-used encryption algorithm now commonly known as RSA, about three years before it was independently developed by Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman at MIT.

These names were used by Ron Rivest in the 1978 Communications of the ACM article presenting the RSA cryptosystem, and in A Method for Obtaining Digital Signatures and Public-Key Cryptosystems published April 4, 1977, revised September 1, 1977 as technical Memo LCS / TM82.

::: MD5 ( Message Digest algorithm 5 ( Rivest ))

A worst-case linear algorithm for the general case of selecting the kth largest element was published by Blum, Floyd, Pratt, Rivest and Tarjan in their 1973 paper " Time bounds for selection ", sometimes called BFPRT after the last names of the authors.

When, a few years later, Diffie and Hellman published their 1976 paper, and shortly after that Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman announced their algorithm, Cocks, Ellis, and Williamson suggested that GCHQ announce that they had previously developed both.

One scheme to increase the key size of DES without substantially altering the algorithm was DES-X, proposed by Ron Rivest in May 1984.

Along with Blum, Floyd, Rivest, and Tarjan, he described the first worst-case optimal selection algorithm.

Ron Rivest estimated in 1977 that factoring a 125-digit number would require 40 quadrillion years, even with the highly conservative assumption that modular multiplication could be carried out in a nanosecond ; he therefore then believed that RSA-129 could never be broken in practice.

In 1996, SPKI was merged with Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure ( SDSI, pronounced sudsy ) by Ron Rivest and Butler Lampson.

Leiserson coauthored the standard algorithms textbook Introduction to Algorithms together with Thomas H. Cormen, Ronald Rivest, and Clifford Stein.

Simply put, Rivest proposed encrypting each plaintext block with a random key to form the pseudomessage, then hashing each block and XORing all the hashes together with the random key to generate the last block of the pseudomessage.
