RSA is an asymetric encryption algorithm based on the difficulty of factoring
large prime numbers.
== algoirthm ==
1) choose some p and q
* where p and q are very large primes
* n = p * q
2) T = (p-1)(q-1)
* known as eulers totient
3) choose 2 values e and d
* where (e * d) mod T = 1
* where e < T
* [[../math/relative_prime]] with T and N
4) we now have our keys
* n and e are public keys
* n and d are private keys
=== example ===
p = 2; q = 7
therefore,
n = 14; T = 6
Due to restrictions, choose e = 5
