(i) Describe Euclid's algorithm.
Find, in the RSA algorithm, the deciphering key corresponding to the enciphering key 7,527 .
(ii) Explain what is meant by a primitive root modulo an odd prime .
Show that, if is a primitive root modulo , then all primitive roots modulo are given by , where and .
Verify, by Euler's criterion, that 3 is a primitive root modulo 17 . Hence find all primitive roots modulo 17 .
