Definition ∞ The RSA Group refers to the mathematical group used in the RSA public-key cryptosystem, specifically the multiplicative group of integers modulo n, where n is the product of two large prime numbers. This group forms the basis for the security of RSA, a widely used algorithm for secure data transmission and digital signatures. Its properties are fundamental to asymmetric cryptography.
Context ∞ While RSA remains a foundational element of internet security, its relevance in the context of digital assets is primarily in traditional cryptographic applications, rather than directly within core blockchain consensus mechanisms. However, understanding the underlying mathematics of such groups is crucial for comprehending the security properties of various cryptographic primitives, including those used in zero-knowledge proofs and Verifiable Delay Functions.
