Teaching the RSA algorithm using spreadsheets
Hong Zeng · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2012
The RSA algorithm is a very important algorithm in Computer Science. Due to cumbersome calculations, it is difficult to demonstrate a non-trivial RSA example in the classroom. In this paper, the RSA algorithm is taught using spreadsheets. A spreadsheet template has been designed to carry out the calculations of a non-trivial RSA example easily and clearly.
