Introduction

RSA encryption is a foundational public-key cryptographic system that relies on the difficulty of factoring large composite numbers. In this paper, we will utilize SageMath, a powerful mathematics software system, to perform various RSA-related computations, including decryption, encryption, key generation, and prime factor analysis. The questions addressed range from decrypting a message with known factors to generating key pairs for secure communication.

RSA Decryption with Known Prime Factors

Given the prime factors p = 6569 and q = 8089, and a public exponent e = 11, the goal is to decrypt a ciphertext. First, we compute the modulus n = p * q, then determine the totient φ(n), and subsequently find the private key exponent d. Using this private exponent, we can decrypt the ciphertext message.

Suppose the ciphertext is provided; in this case, assuming the ciphertext is c = some value, we proceed with the decryption.

Encryption of a Message

To encrypt the number 449 for a recipient with a public key (N, e), we need the recipient's modulus N. Once N and e are known, encryption is straightforward: ciphertext = 449^e mod N. In case N is missing, it's essential to obtain the correct key parameters.

Finding the Public Exponent with Known Prime Factors

If the private exponent is known (e.g., 223), and the prime factors p = 1723 and q = 5381 of the modulus are given, we can calculate the totient, then derive the corresponding public exponent e by computing its modular inverse with respect to φ(n) if needed. Alternatively, if the public exponent e is missing, we can analyze the private key to recover it.

RSA Key Generation with SageMath

Using SageMath, we demonstrate how to generate a new RSA key pair, perform encryption of a plaintext message, and then decrypt it to verify correctness. This process illustrates key components of RSA cryptosystems and provides templates for practical implementation.

SageMath Calculations and Code

Below are the specific SageMath commands and outputs for each task:

1. RSA Decryption with given p, q, e



p = 6569


q = 8089


n = p * q


phi_n = (p - 1) * (q - 1)


e = 11


Compute private exponent d


d = inverse_mod(e, phi_n)


Suppose ciphertext c is known, for example:


c = 1234  # Example ciphertext


Decrypt the message


plaintext = pow(c, d, n)


plaintext

2. RSA Encryption of number 449

Assume recipient's public key components N and e are known


N =   # Placeholder for recipient's modulus


e2 = 529


Encrypt message


m = 449


ciphertext = pow(m, e2, N)


ciphertext

3. Deriving public exponent e from private exponent and prime factors

p = 1723


q = 5381


n = p * q


phi_n = (p - 1) * (q - 1)


Given private exponent


d_private = 223


Compute e


e_computed = inverse_mod(d_private, phi_n)


e_computed

4. Generating RSA key pair with SageMath

Generate RSA key pair


key = RSA.generate(bits=2048)


public_key = key.publickey()


private_key = key


Encrypt and decrypt a message


message = Integer(1234)


ciphertext = public_key.encrypt(message)


decrypted_message = private_key.decrypt(ciphertext)


(encrypted_message, decrypted_message)

Conclusion

This comprehensive application of SageMath to RSA demonstrates fundamental cryptographic techniques—calculating private exponents, encrypting messages, decrypting ciphertexts, and generating key pairs. These practices underpin secure digital communications and are pivotal in modern cybersecurity. SageMath offers an accessible, efficient environment to perform these calculations, fostering deeper understanding and practical proficiency in cryptography.
