modulo maybe? It has something to do with the RSA encryption method

RSA!? What was that you where saying about the crazy dude yelling "What's the frequency kenneth!?" Didn't that have to do with the RSA?

Edit:

Checked it. Nope. :oops:

Yeah well, i was wrong. It was just an idea. That's how brainstorming works, sharing your ideas, even if it would be proved to be wrong. :)

Someone guessed Modulo, might be it. Idk

A.2. The modulo Function

The modulo function is, simply, the remainder function. It is commonly used in programming and is critical to the operation of any mathematical function using digital computers.

To calculate X modulo Y (usually written X mod Y), you merely determine the remainder after removing all multiples of Y from X. Clearly, the value X mod Y will be in the range from 0 to Y-1.

Some examples should clear up any remaining confusion:

15 mod 7 = 1

25 mod 5 = 0

33 mod 12 = 9

203 mod 256 = 203

Modulo arithmetic is useful in crypto because it allows us to set the size of an operation and be sure that we will never get numbers that are too large. This is an important consideration when using digital computers.
