Arrange the following steps of RSA key generation in the correct order:
A. Choose an integer e such that 1 < e < λ(n)
B. Compute n = p × q
C. Find d ≡ e⁻¹ (mod λ(n))
D. Choose two large prime numbers p and q
E. Compute λ(n)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. D-B-E-A-C

Explanation

Choose primes p, q; compute n; compute λ(n) (or φ(n)); choose e coprime to it; compute d as the modular inverse of e.
