"Hey guys, I just came across this insane RSA encryption trick that I had to share. Essentially, it uses the built-in 'random' module in Python to generate a public and private key pair in just 5 lines of code. Has anyone else seen this or know a use case for it?"

"Dude, that's some crazy math right there. I just tried running it in my Python IDE and it's insane how fast it is. Can we discuss implications on securing sensitive data?"

"Looks like someone's been coding. That's actually really cool, RSA encryption in just 5 lines? Have you guys checked out the pyca/cryptography library, it's got a ton of optimization already done for us"

"nice one, just a heads up, you might wanna add some error checking to make it more robust. also, is there a particular reason you chose RSA over other encryption methods like elliptic curve for this example? "

Just tried to follow along and honestly, I'm a bit underwhelmed. It's great that they were able to condense RSA encryption into a few lines, but like, this is super basic cryptography. Anyone else think this is a great example of over-selling a minor achievement?

"nice one OP for breaking it down to just 5 lines, but let's be real, it's still RSA, and lightning-fast isn't exactly what comes to mind when I think of RSA encryption "

Yooo, thanks for sharing OP! I've seen some RSA implementations in Python before, but the 'lightning-fast' part caught my eye, what kind of performance boost can we expect? Are we talking like, 10x or 100x faster than a standard implementation?

"Dude, that's insane. I wasn't aware RSA was possible with just 5 lines of code, let alone lightning-fast. What's the context for using this in a real-world project?"

"Dude, I think this is more of a theoretical example rather than a real-world application. RSA encryption is meant to be complex, not simplified down to 5 lines of code. This is more of a 'for educational purposes only' kind of thing"

"Dude, you gotta specify the version of Python you're using for this to work, as RSA encryption is still a relatively modern concept. Also, 5 lines of code might be a bit misleading, but I'm curious to see the implementation. Can we see the code?"

"Lol what? 5 lines of Python for RSA encryption? That's either a major breakthrough or a clever joke. Can we see the code and the explanation behind it?"

"Lol, 5 lines of Python isn't gonna revolutionize crypto security But it's nice to see RSA getting some love again, it's still solid for small-scale use cases. Anyone tried implementing it on a smart contract?"

"Lol, 5 lines of Python for RSA encryption? That's cute. Still, I'd love to see the actual code and a comparison with other encryption methods."

"Lol, 5 lines of Python and it's lightning-fast? That's cute. Seriously though, what's the context here? Is this some kind of educational example or a real-world implementation?"

"Whoa, that's crazy! I've seen some quick implementations before, but 5 lines? That's insane. How did you even fit the whole RSA algorithm into that tiny code snippet?"
