Question
The goal of this exercise is to work thru the RSA
system in a simple case:
We will use primes p = 71, q = 61 and form
71 ·61 = 4331.
n =
[This is typical of the RSA system which chooses two
large primes at random generally, and multiplies them
to find n. The public will know n but p and q will be
kept private.]
Now we choose our public key e = 13. This will work
since
gcd(13, (p – 1)(q – 1)) = gcd(13, 4200) = 1. [In
general as long as we choose an 'e' with gcd(e, (p-1)
(q-1))=1, the system will work.]
Next we encode letters of the alphabet numerically
say via the usual:
(A=0,B=1,C=2,D=3,E=4,F=5,G=6,H=7,l=8,
J=9,K=10,L=11,M=12,N=13,0=14,P=15,Q316,R=17,
S=18,T=19,U=20,V=21,W=22,X=23,Y=24,Z=25.)
We will practice the RSA encryption on the single
integer 15. (which is the numerical representation for
the letter "P"). In the language of the book, M=15 is
our original message.
The coded integer is formed via c = Me mod n.
Thus we need to calculate 1513 mod 4331.
This is not as hard as it seems and you might
consider using fast modular multiplication.
The canonical representative of 1513 mod 4331 is
