I'm sure many programmers, particularly web developers have heard of the RSA cryptography system. RSA is an asymmetric cryptography system, meaning that one key is used for encryption and the other for decryption. I've seen a lot of articles explaining the general principles of asymmetric cryptography, but I have not seen any that give easy-to-understand explanations of the mathematical background behind these algorithms, so I decided to write this article.

In the last article RSA key generation and integer encryption were explained and implemented. This is good for demonstrating how the algorithm works, but it is not really usable if you want to exchange encrypted messages with someone. To be usable, it needs big random prime generation and text encryption, so those will be explained in this part.

Databases use sophisticated planning algorithms to determine best query execution strategy. An important aspect is deciding which indexes, if any, to use. This article explores why some indexes could be replaced by other existing indexes and how to identify them.

Between Google Chrome experimenting with “following” sites, along with a growing frustration of how social media platforms limit a creator’s reach to their fans through algorithmic feeds, there’s been renewed interest in RSS feeds and they’re primed for a comeback as we get into 2022.
