Determine the value of x, where y = 7, e = 12 and n = 566 using modular exponentiation method (x ≡ y^e (mod n)).(a) 735(b) 321(c) 872(d) 487The question was posed to me in an interview.My question is based upon Number Theory in chapter Number Theory and Cryptography of Discrete Mathematics |
Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (d) 487 Explanation: Given y = 5, e = 12, and n = 566 and so x ≡ 512 (mod 566). Now 512 comes out to 244140625 and TAKING this value modulo 566, x is determined to be 487. |
