Comment(by mvngu):
Rather than listing what needs to be done, let me try to write a reviewer
patch that would bring gauravluthra's implementation up to the standard
that is expected of any code that goes into the Sage library. In case you
haven't done so, please refer to the
[http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/index.html Developer's Guide] for
guidelines on contributing to Sage.

The name `RSA` for the class is misleading because the stated purpose of
this class is to be an implementation of RSA for educational purposes. We
don't want to give the misleading impression that `srsa.py` can be used
for industrial purposes. I'll change that name to `ToyRSA` in my reviewer
patch. By the way, what does the letter "s" in "srsa.py" mean?

PS: There's a simplified version of RSA called Kid RSA that is suitable
for teaching cryptography to high school students. See
[http://code.google.com/p/high-school-sage/ this book] (which is in
progress) for details.
