Abstract
We explained the underlying mathematics that allow RSA encryption to function. Mathematical proofs are used to demonstrate the security of RSA encryption. We created a mathematical proof for a potential vulnerability of RSA encryption, and we addressed one way in which it can be prevented. This is all used to demonstrate why RSA encryption is still in use today.
