Exponentiation by squaring is a highly efficient algorithm used to compute large powers of numbers, which is particularly useful in the context of modular exponentiation, a fundamental operation in the RSA cryptosystem. The RSA algorithm, a cornerstone of public-key cryptography, relies heavily on modular exponentiation to ensure secure encryption and decryption of messages. The process
