How Prime Numbers Underpin Modern Cryptography
Imagine a world where digital communication and data transfer was a minefield of danger and uncertainty. Every time you sent a message or transmitted data, you risked interception by malicious actors seeking to steal your information. But then came the heroes of modern cryptography - prime numbers. These seemingly ordinary numbers turned out to be the key to securing digital communications and data transfer in the modern age. In particular, the RSA algorithm became one of the most widely used cryptographic algorithms, relying heavily on prime numbers to ensure its security....
