Is it true that first time RSA algorithm was rejected by a journal?

The paper you link to in your comment is a fictional paper where the author (inspired by experiences with reviews he got for his own papers) imagines how negative reviews to groundbreaking papers could have looked like. So its just fun ;)

AFAIK the RSA paper has never been rejected (but the very first paper of Ralph Merkle on public key crypto got rejected, as already mentioned in the comments).
