If this sounds strange, look at the @acronym{RSA} example below. Two important uses for one-way functions with trapdoors are public-key -encryption, and digital signatures.

To use a digital signature algorithm, one must first create a @dfn{key-pair}: A public key and a corresponding private key. The private
