Hi Dr. Bob,
the purpose of the exercise was to demonstrate two things:
1. The isomorphic properties of using the chinese remainder theorem,
2. To express the decryption exponent for RSA cryptography using the CRT
The function takes a crypto system with p, q distinct primes and then creates a fuction d[e_] which is the "dectryption exponent" as a function of e. There are no inverses to take if one had such a fucntion. Give me any "e" and I can use it to calculate "d". This is not practical, but we wanted to let students think about both of these topics and it is rather amazing that CRT allows us to do this.
Thanks for the inputs guys, I greatly appreciate your help.
