Abstract

This paper describes a method for computing a modular exponentiation, useful in performing the RSA Public Key algorithm, suitable for software or hardware implementation. The method uses conventional multiplication, followed by partial modular reduction based on sums of residues. We show that for a simple recursive system where the output of partial modular reduction is the input for the next multiplication, overflow presents few problems.
