> I'm looking for a better way to teach "real" RSA without needing the students to be math majors or to spend a whole semester on it. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Start and end with a reminder to use padding.

Actually if you want to make it not-so-mathy, talking about about how to be compatible with other programs could be nice. How do you import/export public key in pem or der? How do you (de)serialize ciphertext?
