• Key Concepts: 
  RSA Key Manager is a component of the IS-R-POS Point of Sale (POS) system. It is a security feature that helps protect sensitive data by encrypting it with a unique key. The key is generated using an algorithm called RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and is stored in a secure database. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access the data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use RSA Key Manager, you must first create an RSA key pair. This consists of two keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt data, while the private key is used to decrypt it. Once the keys are generated, they can be stored in the secure database and used to encrypt and decrypt data as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RSA Key Manager, it is important to keep your private key secure. If someone were to gain access to your private key, they would be able to decrypt any data that was encrypted with your public key. Therefore, it is important to store your private key in a secure location and ensure that only authorized personnel have access to it.
