RSA

Alice

Choose two large prime numbers p, qCalculate n = pq and m = (p-1)(q-1)

Choose e such that gcd(e, (p-1)(q-1)) = 1Choose d such that ed = 1 mod (p-1)(q-1)

Publicize e, n. Keep d private.

To encrypt x: calculate y = xe mod n

Bob

To decrypt y: calculate z = yd mod n.

Fermat’s Little Theorem: xed = x mod n.
