Question

I’ve writing a RSA implementation in Python and have now successfully encrypted it however when it prints out the cipher, every time it comes out ‘0x1L.’ I believe this is a long number, however I do not know how to show the full number. If my code is required, I will post in the comments section( It is quite long).

Thanks

Answer 1

Python’s representation of your result as 0x1L indicates the number’s type and value – however, it doesn’t truncate the number at all. While it is stored as a long internally, its value is still just 1 in this case.
