This PR adds a classical implementation of Shor’s Algorithm to the cryptography module. The algorithm factors a given composite number N by:

  • Checking for trivial factors using GCD
  • Finding the order of a random integer a modulo N
  • Using the order to derive factors of N
    Changes:
    Added shor_algorithm.py in cryptography directory
    Implemented modular exponentiation and order-finding methods
    Added tests in cryptography
    Issue Reference: Request to Implement Shor Algorithm #12318
