Modular arithmetic involves finding remainders when integers are divided by a modulus.
Congruence relations are established when two numbers yield the same remainder when divided by a modulus.
The square and multiply method is an efficient algorithm for modular exponentiation that significantly reduces the number of multiplicative operations required.
A system of arithmetic for integers where numbers wrap around upon reaching a specified value, known as the modulus.
A relation that shows two integers have the same remainder when divided by a specified modulus.
An efficient algorithm for computing large powers modulo a number, reducing the time complexity from exponential to polynomial.
