Introduction

The RSA Algorithm is the basis for the modern public key cryptography system that is used in SSL website encryption. For an in-depth description of the RSA algorithm, I recommend at least skimming the wikipedia page. The following demo is intended to be a fun demonstration of the power of encrypting and decrypting using functions that are inverses of one another - for properly chosen e,d & n:

• Encrypt with : c=m^e mod n
• Decrypt with : m=c^d mod n
