The purpose of this work is to present the mathematics and applications of RSA cryptography such that they are accessible to a reader without much background knowledge in number theory. We outline the mathematical foundations of RSA, starting with an introduction to modular arithmetic and the Euler totient function. We then elaborate on Euler’s Theorem, which forms the foundation for ... Read More
