An asymmetric (e.g. public-key) cryptosystem, based on modular exponentiation with big exponents and modulus. RSA can be used both for signature and encryption with proper paddings.

What is the likely cause the RSA algorithm gives back plain text in this case?
Suppose the public key is $n=p.q$
Probably the order of random encryption key $e$ relative to $(p-1)(q-1)$ is so small so that a small power of $e$ gives something congruent to $1 \bmod (p-1)(q-1)$.
