Cryptography for the Everyday Developer: Modular Arithmetic

This is the fourth article in a series on Cryptography for the Everyday Developer . Follow along to learn the basics of modern cryptography and encryption. Modular arithmetic is the foundation for asymmetric cryptography like RSA, elliptic curves, or Diffie-Hellman — all of them rely on the properties of modular arithmetic to guarantee security and secrecy. Since modular arithmetic is so important…
