+# RSA encryption
+
+## Setup and requirements
+
+- Minimum required Python version: 3.3
+- No additional dependencies
+
+## Run program
+
+The specified example's inputs:
+
+```shell
+python3 rsa.py 254 1223 251 1339 17 65535 66536047120374145538916787981868004206438539248910734713495276883724693574434582104900978079701174539167102706725422582788481727619546235440508214694579 1756026041
+```
+
+This gives the attached outputs:
+![Output for above command](rsa_output.png "Output for above command")
+
+For a more verbose output, include the `--verbose` flag:
+
+```shell
+python3 rsa.py 254 1223 251 1339 17 65535 66536047120374145538916787981868004206438539248910734713495276883724693574434582104900978079701174539167102706725422582788481727619546235440508214694579 1756026041 --verbose
+```
+
+![More verbose output](rsa_verbose_output.png "Verbose output")
+
+### Notes and inferences
+
+- Recent versions (2.2+) of Python automatically handle large numbers
+- In this implementation, Euler totient function is used, and not Carmichael totient function
