A system of public key cryptography, named for its inventors: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The RSA algorithm takes two large prime numbers, finds their product, and then derives asymmetric keys from the prime numbers and their product. Because the public key includes the product, the private key could be derived from the public key if the product could be factored. No easy method for factoring products of large prime numbers is currently known, but it has not been mathematically proven that no such method is possible. Therefore, the discovery of a fast way to factor such numbers, or the development of quantum computers, would break RSA.

The fundamental mechanism for event monitoring in Mac OS X. A run loop registers input sources such as sockets, Mach ports, and pipes for a thread; it also enables the delivery of events through these sources. In addition to sources, run loops can also register timers and observers. There is exactly one run loop per thread.
Industry:Software; Computer
A collection of input sources, timer sources, and run loop observers associated with a particular name. When run in a specific mode, a run loop monitors only the sources and observers associated with that mode.
Industry:Software; Computer
An instance of the NSRunLoop class or CFRunLoopRef opaque type. These objects provide the interface for implementing an event-processing loop in a thread.
Industry:Software; Computer
A recipient of notifications during various phases of a run loop’s execution.
