What is the right name for this article? I chose RSA because that is the commonly used term, but perhaps it should be "RSA algorithm" or "RSA cryptosystem" to distinguish it from RSA Corporation (which I think has had several names over the years). Maybe RSA should be a disambiguation page? Also, there are some links to Rivest-Shamir-Adelman. I'd say that is too cumbersome and that should redirect to whatever name we choose for this page.
