Rather, is it possible for big prime numbers?
Classroom examples usually involve smaller primes, so for example if you are given a prime number pair $p = 3$, $q = 13$ you would get $n = 39$ and $e = d = 5$, making encryption and decryption the same for a message $x$ or ciphertext $x$.
This can be a big problem, e.g. if a server sends you cipher $x$, you can decrypt it and get the message, then you encrypt the cipher $x$ itself and if you get the message again then you know the public key is the same as the private key.
Is this possible in industry?
