Attacks and Threats on RSA

This paper in a nutshell introduces the conventional RSA algorithm and its application in small devices. It also states that there are numerous attacks possible when RSA is used with small parameter values to reduce the time required for encryption and decryption. The paper also includes a description of each such attack. It is also stated that most of the attacks mentioned in the paper are not enough to question the security and credibility of RSA when used with large values of its parameters such as value of primes, product of primes, value of modulus, encryption exponent, and decryption exponent.
