You can refer or include this python file for implementing RSA cipher algorithm implementation. The modules included for the encryption algorithm are as follows − We have initialized the hash value as SHA-256 for better security purpose. We will use a function to generate new keys or a pair of public and private key using the following code. Generate a random number which is relatively prime with (p-1) and (q-1). Let the number be called as e. Calculate the modular inverse of e. The calculated inverse will be called as d. Algorithms for generating RSA keys.

e should be random methinks =P |

@miigotu 'youthinks' wrong. e should be chosen so that e and λ(n) are coprime. It is not chosen at random, and since it is usually small for computation reasons, and included in the public key, it can always be known by an attacker anyway. |

Nice But How Can I Write The Private Key I Tried This: f = open('PublicKey.pem','w') f.write(publick_key) f.close() BUT IT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE PRIVATE KEY, JUST RETURNS 0B |

In this chapter, we will focus on step wise implementation of RSA algorithm using Python.
Generating RSA keys
The following steps are involved in generating RSA keys −
- Create two large prime numbers namely p and q. The product of these numbers will be called n, where n= p*q
- Generate a random number which is relatively prime with (p-1) and (q-1). Let the number be called as e.
- Calculate the modular inverse of e. The calculated inverse will be called as d.
Algorithms for generating RSA keys
We need two primary algorithms for generating RSA keys using Python − Cryptomath module and Rabin Miller module.
Cryptomath Module
The source code of cryptomath module which follows all the basic implementation of RSA algorithm is as follows −
RabinMiller Module
The source code of RabinMiller module which follows all the basic implementation of RSA algorithm is as follows −

Output
The public key and private keys are generated and saved in the respective files as shown in the following output.
