RSA

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

It was Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman who later developed an algorithm where you could use either key to encrypt. This is known as the RSA algorithm. This made possible the full use of asymmetric encryption for the purposes we have discussed - certificates, non-repudiation, etc, as well as confidentiality - and thus made PKI systems possible.
