I think you mean "days after the RSA encryption algorithm was PUBLISHED".
It was discovered in either 1970 or 1973, but was classified.

    I often think that if we Brits had any gratitude in our hearts, we
    would put up a statue to Heinz Guderian - who probably saved us from
    ruin by booting our Army off the continent before we could do
    ourselves real harm.
