Answer 1

The classic algorithm applied to modern cryptography from the options provided is **modular arithmetic**. Modular arithmetic is fundamental in various cryptographic algorithms, including public key cryptography methods like RSA.

Pseudorandom number generators are also important in cryptography, but they are not considered a classic algorithm in the same way modular arithmetic is. The other options (binary sort and linear search) are algorithms used in data management and search, not directly in cryptography.
