This is part 2 of the encryption series. Part 1 can be found here.
Encryption - Part 1 Introduction
As part of my work, I have been reading about cryptography and how randomness plays a role in make our data secure. As part of this exploration, I started reading about public-key encryption, and it’s quite fascinating. So I want to write about it. This helps me clarify my thoughts, and scratches this “teaching” itch that I often have.
