Encryption

In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding information. This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext, into an alternative form known as ciphertext. Ideally, only authorized parties can decipher a ciphertext back to plaintext and access the original information.

I put together a short paper on understanding the underlying mathematics of RSA encryption. I hope it helps others to understand what is happening at a fundamental level with RSA
