RSA Cryptosystem and Modulus Calculations

The video tutorial introduces the RSA Cryptosystem, explaining its origins and the basic principles of encryption and decryption. The teacher uses simple examples to demonstrate how messages are encrypted and decrypted using RSA, emphasizing the importance of modular arithmetic. The tutorial concludes with a homework assignment to explore the method further.
