What is the time complexity of modular exponentiation?

  The incorporation of cryptographic methods increased dramatically and is said to continue until   significant improvements in data privacy are enforced tremendously.  Certain top confidential messages are sent as encrypted information since only those required to read them will access them, not third parties.  Cryptographic methods use secret keys that will be known only to the receiver and the sender. The encrypted message will never be understood forever if the key gets lost.  To encrypt these confidential data, it uses the concept of exponentiation, and the most used one is modular exponentiation . Speaking of this method, it gets run over a modulus. While this is the commonly used method, it takes a lot of time during the process.  Let us read more about this interesting concept, its severe time complexity, and the reason behind it.  What is modular exponentiation? As we know, modular exponentiation is a type of exponentiation that gets run over...
