Why are prime numbers crucial in RSA encryption?
Prime numbers are used in RSA encryption to bake delicious cakes
Prime numbers are used in RSA encryption to create colorful patterns
Prime numbers are used in RSA encryption to improve internet speed

Explain the process of prime number generation for RSA in detail.
Selecting small prime numbers for security reasons
Generating a single prime number and using it for both public and private keys
Skipping the calculation of the totient function
The process involves generating two large random prime numbers, calculating their product, computing the totient function, choosing an integer e, and finding its modular multiplicative inverse to obtain the public and private keys for RSA encryption.
