RSA file format is used for containing RSA plain-text data, which consists of public and/or private keys, certificates, information, etc. It is mostly used for secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet. Generations I and II of RSA Securityproducts produced these files.
Usage
RSA file formats are mainly used to encrypt documents like financial applications, websites, emails, and other sensitive digital media attachments. It is the responsibility of the user to create a secure environment before sending any sensitive information from one system to another. Through storing data in a locked and encrypted format, it allows data to be transmitted securely over a secure socket layer.OpenSSLis an open-source implementation of the RSA standard which supports this file format.RSA1

are the similar formats used for storing RSA encrypted information. A high-quality secure ground must established before transmitting any confidential information in this format.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RSA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RSA extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RSA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RSA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RSA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RSA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RSA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RSA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RSA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RSA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
