Question: Suppose Bob uses the RSA cryptosystem with a very large modulus (n) for which the factorization cannot be found in a reasonable amount of time.

Suppose Bob uses the RSA cryptosystem with a very large modulus \(n\) for which the factorization cannot be found in a reasonable amount of time. Suppose Alice sends a message to Bob by representing each alphabetic character as an integer between 0 and \(25(A ightarrow 0, \ldots, Z ightarrow 25)\) and then encrypting each number separately using RSA with large \(e\) and large \(n\). Is this method secure? If not, describe the most efficient attack against this encryption method.
