RSA SecurID

RSA SecurID

RSA SecurID, formerly referred to as SecurID, is a mechanism developed by Security Dynamics (later RSA Security and now RSA, The Security Division of EMC) for performing two-factor authentication for a user to a network resource.

® Software Tokens provide the same remote access that physical RSA SecurID® Tokens provide, but now with ease through your mobile device. You’ll still use a six-digit token code to access the NSF Virtual Desktop application; however, you will now get this code through the RSA SecurID® Software Token mobile application, available for both iOS and Android through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

What does RSA stand for token?

What does RSA token mean target? When creating an RSA token, the primary purpose of obtaining the target’s public certificate is to encrypt the secret key. Only the target can decrypt the secret key, which is used to encrypt the user data. The client’s private key is used to sign both the secret key and the user data.

How does the RSA token really work?

  • Your browser history (they just press Ctrl+H and get access to every site you opened, Facebook, Twitter or any NSFW site)
  • key-loggers or spyware (with which they can get access to your passwords)
  • If you’re using their data, internet or Wi-Fi, they can track your activities
  • If you’re not using a VPN to hide your IP

Encryption using RSA: To encrypt a plaintext M using an RSA public key we simply represent the plaintext as a number between 0 and N-1 and then compute the ciphertext C as: C = M e mod N. Decryption using RSA: To decrypt a ciphertext C using an RSA public key we simply compute the plaintext M as: M = C d mod N.
