Selected Answer: D The RSA encryption process is described by the following mathematical equation: 𝐶 = 𝑀 𝑒 m o d 𝑛 C=M e modn Where: 𝐶 C is the ciphertext (the encrypted message), 𝑀 M is the plaintext (the original message), 𝑒 e is the public exponent, 𝑛 n is the modulus (part of the public key, 𝑛 = 𝑝 × 𝑞 n=p×q). Explanation: In RSA, the public key is ( 𝑒 , 𝑛 ) (e,n), and it's used for encryption. The private key is ( 𝑑 , 𝑛 ) (d,n), and it's used for decryption, using the inverse operation: 𝑀 = 𝐶 𝑑 m o d 𝑛 M=C d modn upvoted 1 times
