Abstract

In this paper we present the mathematical methods necessary to utilize the Rivest. Shamir, and Adleman (RSA) cryptosystem. Beginning witn the Divi sion Theorem and an introduction to modular arithmetic we then delve brieflv into group theory, leading up to our presentation of LaGrange’s Theorem. Next we prove Fermat’s Little Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, and Euler's Theorem. arriving at a definition and explanation of the RSA method. We conclude this paper with a short discussion of prime generating techniques, focusing our attention on Pocklington’s prime determination method.
