If your application can work with a trusted authority generating all the 
keypairs, and you sacrifice the use of short public exponents *and* sacrifice 
the possession of the factors of the modulus by the key owners, making them do 
more work on decryption, I think you can have what you asked for. But that's a 
lot of ifs.
