Abstract/Summary
This paper mainly discusses Cryptography, a well-known application of number theory. Although it touches on some examples of conventional cryptosystem, the main focus of this paper is all about the second kind of cryptosystem, the private-key cryptosystems. The researchers studied the Mathematics behind popular private-key cryptosystems such as the Knapsack Algorithm and the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) Algorithm.
A program is also included in this paper as the researchers found it necessary to automate the step-by-step computations. A user-documentation is also provided to guide users in understanding the programming behind and how to use the automation program.
