Number theory plays a vital role in the field of security, memory management, authentication and coding theory. Because, in many cryptographic algorithms used in the field of security, authentication and coding theory, the messages are represented as integer numbers. These integer numbers are converted into some other format before sending it to receiver side. Fermat’s theorem provides a good example of the importance of the number theory. Fermat asked a question that, can prime p be written as the sum ...
