Abstract
In 1977 the RSA system was designed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman. The RSA system is a part of modern cryptography. Modern cryptography makes sure that one can secure important information - like data, communication or banking accounts - on the computer. There are several attacks on the RSA system where the private key can be cracked. In this report two of such attacks are discussed.
