Exponentiation: Time Complexity

Description

This lecture explains the fast exponentiation algorithm for calculating AB, where B is decomposed in binary form and the calculation involves squaring A multiple times followed by multiplication. The time complexity is O(n³) for AB (mod N) if N has n digits. The recursive version of the algorithm is discussed, along with the properties of prime numbers and the El-Gamal encryption scheme.
