RSA

• p * q = n

• Coprime Phi is calculated either by Euler Totient or greatest common divisor via euclidean algorithm

• \(1 < \phi < n \)

• There is also \phi = (p-1) * (q-1)

• Encryption, public key e is a prime between 2 and phi --> \( 2 < e < \phi \)

possible_e = []
for i in range (2, phi):
    if gcd(n, i) == 1 and gcd(phi, i) == 1:
        possible_e.append() 

• Decryption, private key d --> \( d * e mod \phi = 1 \)

possible_d = []
for i in range (phi + 1, phi + foo):
    if i * e mod phi == 1 :
       possible_d.append()

• \( Cipher = msg ** d mod \phi \)
• \( Cleartext = cipher ** e mod \phi )
