You could always call it RealSlowAlgorithm and spell it out rather than using
the initials...
Are there trademark on Rivest, Shamir and Adleman's names? If not, we could
call it by their last names out of order. i.e.: "The Algorithm developed by
Adleman, Rivest, and Shamir" A bit klunky though...
The liberated version of RC4 became "ARC4", maybe somthing similar. RSA sounds
like URSA, but URSA contains RSA... Modulo Exponent Algorithm? Any other
thoughts?
