s free for all uses." (Counterpane Internet Security: Twofish: A New Block Cipher) It operates under the symmetric key model.
RSA is a family of algorithms that employ the asymmetric key model. There are actually multiple incarnations of this algorithm; RC5 is one of the most common in use, and RC6 was a finalist algorithm for AES. Searching for how RSA works often yields a host of pages about how it works mathematically, because the U.S. patent on the RSA algorithm expired on September 21, 2000. (RSA Security, Inc. actually began offering the algorithm to the public before the 17-year-old patent expired.)
