Wait, is this a trick question? What if the answer is 'All of the above' because RSA uses a combination of these equations? Nah, I'm gonna go with option B, Ce mod n.

Encryption and decryption, modular arithmetic, public and private keys... This RSA stuff is like a whole different language. I'm just gonna guess option B and hope for the best.

Haha, P = Cd mod n? That sounds more like the decryption process, not the encryption. I'm sticking with option B, Ce mod n.

I agree, P = Cd mod n is definitely for decryption.

Whoa, what's this curve equation got to do with RSA? That's elliptic curve cryptography, not RSA. I'm gonna have to go with option B, Ce mod n.

Thanks for clarifying that, I'll go with option A, Me mod n, for the RSA encryption process.

The correct equation for RSA encryption is Me mod n, so option A is the right choice.

You're right, the equation y2 = x3 + Ax + B is for elliptic curve cryptography, not RSA.

Option B, Ce mod n, is actually not the correct equation for RSA. It's used in elliptic curve cryptography.

I think the encryption process for RSA involves raising the message to the power of the public key and then taking the modulus of n.

But doesn't RSA encryption involve using the public key to encrypt the message?

I disagree, I believe the encryption process for RSA is B) Ce mod n.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Isn't the encryption process more about the public key and private key? I think option B, Ce mod n, is the way to go.

Okay, let's think this through. The encryption process for RSA is all about modular arithmetic, so it's gotta be one of those equations. I'm gonna go with option A, Me mod n.
