When RSA keys are generated?

RSA keys are generated through a process that involves selecting two large prime numbers, typically denoted as ( p ) and ( q ). These primes are multiplied together to produce a modulus ( n ), which is used in both the public and private keys. The public key consists of the modulus ( n ) and an exponent ( e ), while the private key includes the modulus ( n ) and a derived exponent ( d ), calculated using the properties of ( p ) and ( q ). This key generation process ensures the security of the RSA encryption method.
