The Basic Cryptology: A Simple Explanation of How Prime Factorization (Mathematics) Is Used in the Field of Cryptology.

Abstract:

Mathematics have vast applications in today’s technological world which most people don’t know much about it and is a major concern. The purpose of this research is to investigate and point out the usage of Mathematics in the field of Cryptology. Mathematics have many real-world applications. By using online sources this study delved deeply into the field of cryptology and pointed out the mathematics used in this field. Similar investigations have been carried out by other students and scholars in other fields which are applicable to Mathematics. With the help of their papers and with ideas arises from the research this paper is written. From the investigation, Prime Factorization is seen as the most important math that plays major role in the field of cryptology. It influenced the way data are protected by providing necessary codes known as keys in the form of numbers. This actually answers our questions regarding the applications of Mathematics in real life and in the field of cryptology.
