Some remarks: 1. The public key is (k = 5, m = 14), where 14 is a modulus (often large) chosen by the recipient, and 5 is an unit mod φ(14). Note that 5 is multiplicatively invertible under mod φ(14), and the inverse of 5 is 5 mod φ(14). 2. φ is the Euler totient function. φ(14) is the counting of positive number that is less than 14 and is relative prime to 14. φ(14) = 6 = (2 - 1)*(7 - 1). 3. The private key is the inverse of k = 5 mod φ(14), i.e. 5 mod φ(14). 4. In the video, we use 11 as our private key since 11 is congruent to 5 mod φ(14). We could use any number that is congruent to 5 mod φ(14), i.e. 5, 11, 17, 23, ... etc.

For our last part of Digital Solutions, we dove into ciphers, consisting of the basics of caesars cipher, vigenere cipher, OTP ciphers, and eventually RSA encryptions. My issue wasn't the way it works, but more of how to implement it into code. This video helped me develop a C file that could take in a p,q and a string to output an encrypted message, as well as allowing me to decrypt it. Thank you soo much for the headaches you saved me from.

Man, this brought back memories when, for reasons unknown, YT put this in my feed. Made me remember the demo program with a silly little Windows Forms interface (hey this was over a decade ago) I wrote during my Master's at Monash and have a look at the old source code. Had to do it with "classical" random primes and then also with elliptic curves - and included Diffie Hellman for key exchange. It showed all the various steps including the "magic" going on in the background. Was one of my favourite units (and got me a HD ;). How I wish I'd had teachers like you so we would have done this in high school!

For anyone wondering about the exact details, the sender picks 2 huge distinct primes, p and q. The pair (p,q) is known as the private key and is only known to the sender and the receiver. They then define n=pq and work out φ(n) = (p-1)(q-1). φ(k) is the Euler Totient Function which is the number of integers between 1 and k which are coprime to k. Then the sender picks a number e such that (e, φ(n)) = 1 (e is coprime to φ(n) under this notation). The sender then publishes the pair (e,n) (or (n,e) in some conventions) and this becomes the public key. They then send a message by converting it into a number M, with M

I know it's just a demonstration but working out both (4**11)%14 and (4**5)%14 are 2 (or the original B), so you can "decipher" with either. And there are several other ways to reach the same answer, but also a pattern actually emerges (mod remainder 2, 8, 4, repeat). But I imagine that the actual math behind the algorithm is much more complicated. Thanks, cool video.
