Does anyone recollect the history behind and the implications of the (open) SSH choice of 35 as a hard-wired public exponent?
key.c: private = RSA_generate_key(bits, 35, NULL, NULL); i.e. 100011 binary compared to the more typical F4 10000000000000001 binary I'm aware of the discussions on the history of e=3 at http://crypto.stackexchange.com/q/8454/ Thanks, Tim. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
