If you really need a bunch of arbitrary RSA keys for manufacturing, your best bet would be to invest in several workstations and run the key generation in parallel.
However, it would probably be much better to have the device generate the keys directly when the user first plugs it in/installs it/sets it up/whatever. If the device can't generate the keys on its own, you probably want to rethink your design. On Friday 05 December 2003 14:49, Bommareddy, Satish (Satish) wrote: > key size 1024.
