SERIOUSLY, STOP USING RSA
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
RSA is a widely used public-key cryptosystem which is arguably fundamentally flawed and should be abandoned. Its security relies on carefully chosen parameters, which developers often fail to select properly, leading to vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities stem from subtle mathematical properties that average developers are unlikely to grasp, making RSA inherently fragile and prone to attacks.
