Exchanging RSA-encrypted data keys

In an RSA cryptographic system, the sending system and the receiving system do not need to share complementary importer and exporter key pairs to exchange DATA keys. The sender enciphers the DATA key by using the receiver's public key. The receiver deciphers the DATA key by using his or her own private key. Refer to Exchanging DES or AES data-encrypting keys using an RSA key scheme for a more detailed explanation.
