Cryptography and the RSA Algorithm
Cryptography is the practice of applying encryption techniques to ensure secure communication in the presence of third parties (whom we will consider adversaries). Generally, cryptography is about constructing and analyzing protocols that block adversaries, protect data confidentiality and data integrity, and provide authentication for the sender and the message. Modern cryptography is at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering. Common applications of cryptography include the encryption of information on ATM cards, the encryption of computer passwords, and the process of encryption and the employment of keys for transmission and the conduct of electronic commerce. ...
