How is RSA used for encryption in practice?..

Answer / Rais Ahmed Mansoori

In practice, RSA is often used as a public key cryptosystem. To encrypt a message, the sender obtains the recipient's public key (consisting of the public modulus and the public exponent), computes the ciphertext using the RSA encryption algorithm, and sends it to the recipient. The recipient uses their private key (consisting of the private modulus and the private exponent) to decrypt the message using the RSA decryption algorithm.
