   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/
