Criando códigos criptográficos: uma proposta para o uso da criptografia RSA (rivest-shamir-adleman) para o estudo de números primos e aritmética modular

Abstract

The current study frame approach sugest in the encryption RSA (Rivest-Shamir Adleman) encryption approach, which in turn is kindred to a wide range of electronic transactions involving financial transfers and sensitive messages where mathematics is the main tool for this purpose. To give substance to the research, we sought to understand how cryptographic processes occurred throughout history and to verify the possibility of by employing RSA cryptography as a motivating element for the study of whole numbers, presentarly prime numbers, decomposition of compound numbers, division. Integers and modular arithmetic, the latter being presented in an intuitive way, a fact that harmonized the study by employing here as bibliographical research. Results showed that it on the possibility to works on the theme as long as it is well conducted by the teacher, being the any head represented for by employing of the proposal in a light and didactic proposed.
