Welcome to the RSA Key Pair Generator. RSA, which stands for Rivest-Shamir-Adleman, is one of the first public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission. This tool allows you to securely generate RSA key pairs, essential in asymmetric cryptography. Asymmetric cryptography involves two keys: a public key for encryption, which you can share openly, and a private key for decryption, which must remain confidential. This dual-key system enables secure and private communication, allowing only the intended recipient to decrypt messages.
For example, if you and a friend want to exchange secret messages, each of you would generate your own key pair and share your public keys with each other. To send a secure message to your friend, you would encrypt it using their public key. Only they can decrypt it with their private key. Similarly, when they send you a message, they encrypt it using your public key, and you decrypt it using your private key. This ensures that your communications remain private and secure from eavesdropping.

Warning: Generating RSA 4096-bit keys can take a significant amount of time and may impact performance. Please be patient.
