Why does my SSH private key still work after changing some bytes? (2016)
What I find interesting about RSA is how it became so popular and important in our daily life, yet it uses basic math from hundred or thousands of years back.It uses the Fermat's little theorem of prime numbers, which was defined in 1640 then proved by Euler almost 100 years after that.Plus uses the Chinese reminder theorem that was discovered in the 300 CEWhat is more crazy is that RSA (or something comparable to that) was discovered in parallel also by another mathematician working for a government agency 4 years prior to the RSA algo
