I understand that RSA encryption, widely used across the Internet, is considered strong because of the difficulty involved in factoring the product of two large prime numbers. But it appears to me from the explanation of RSA on the web, that for any specific pair of public encryption keys, for any input the encrypted text will always be the same. That is if the letter A becomes F when encrypted it will always become F for those specific keys. In which case how is this different from a simple substitution cipher that can be solved by frequency analysis as in a crypto-quote puzzle?
