The fact that anyone could send an encrypted message to the owner of
a RSA public key in asymmetric encryption could be highly valuable in
cases e.g. activists in non-democratic countries send (if they manage
to anonymously send, eventually from an Internet cafe etc.) encrypted
messages to the press in democratic foreign countries containing
informations that, for some reasons, should not be immediately revealed
to the public, nor known to any third parties. The press might prefer
obtaining such anonymous encrypted messages. The public key is simply
announced in the media. (No certificates and CAs are needed at all!)

For a fairly simple and self-sufficient code (employing not
probabilistic but provable primes) to perform end-to-end RSA
encryption, see http://s13.zetaboards.com/Crypto/topic/7234475/1/
