Consider one of the very widely used systems today -- RSA.

考虑当今使用非常广泛的系统之一——RSA。

Right, it's an algorithm called RSA.

对，这是一种叫做 RSA 的算法。

You can only decrypt RSA security by factoring the product of two prime numbers.

您只能通过分解 两个素数的乘积来解密 RSA 安全性。

RSA is used all over the internet.

RSA 在 Internet 上广泛使用。

This is the basis for one of the most popular forms of data encryption, called RSA.

这是最流行 的数据加密形式之一，称为 RSA 的基础。

And so for years, RSA was assumed to be practically unbreakable until this guy came along.

所以多年来，RSA 一直被认为是牢不可破的，直到这个人出现。

The most popular asymmetric encryption technique used today is RSA, named after its inventors: Rivest, Shamir and Adleman.

当今最流行的非对称加密技术是 RSA，以其发明者的名字命名：Rivest、Shamir 和 Adleman。

The RSA algorithm uses factoring, and if you could factor large numbers into primes, you could break this crypto system.

RSA 算法使用因式分解， 如果你能将大数因式分解为质数，你就可以破解这个密码系统。

Usually, this happens through RSA encryption, which encrypts data using the number you get from multiplying two really big prime numbers.

通常， 这是通过 RSA 加密实现的，RSA 加密使用两个非常大的质数相乘得到的数来加密数据。

Of course, no one has actually built a quantum computer that could run Shor's algorithm and break RSA.

当然，实际上还没有人构建出可以运行 Shor 算法并破解 RSA 的量子计算机。
