תקציר	RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a foundational asymmetric cryptosystem introduced in 1978 that enables both encryption and digital signatures using a pair of public and private keys. It remains one of the most widely deployed cryptographic algorithms in modern security infrastructure, supporting secure communication and authentication across the internet.	The Diffie-Hellman key exchange, invented by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976, is a foundational protocol for establishing a shared secret over an insecure communication channel. Two parties who have never previously communicated can use Diffie-Hellman to agree on a symmetric encryption key that an eavesdropper cannot easily derive, even after observing all public exchanges.
