Around 325 BC, Eulicid wrote his Elements treatise and created the foundations of geometry — now known as Euclidean geometry. And, so, we must also thank Euclid our online security, as Euclidean methods often provide a core in public key encryption. One of the most well-known implementations is within the RSA method, and where we use Euclidian methods to solve complex equations, along with Fermat’s Little Theorem:
