Hi, apparently, ANSI X9.31:1998 is no longer for sale. That's a sign that it is withdrawn (although I find no statement to that effect, and some recent FIPS documents that refer to it).
I'm thus in search for a current public standard (not necessarily free) specifying algorithms for RSA key generation, as a replacement for ANSI X9.31:1998; something with the range of the modulus and primes, and (mostly harmless and pointless) requirements on p-1, p+1, |p-q| and such, beside selecting random primes. PKCS#1 v2.1 does not cut it; it defines valid keys, but not how to select the primes. ANSI X9.80:2005 does not seem to cut it (it is about random primes, not RSA keys). I suspect the same holds for ISO/IEC 18032:2005 Any pointer?
