Take a look at : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA#Using_the_Chinese_remainder_algorithm

exponent1 = dp
exponent2 = dq
coefficient = qInv

Good afternoon,

When generating an RSA key, several components are described in the
output file.  Per the RSA specification on wikipedia, I can identify
the following values:

prime1: p
prime2: q
modulus: N = p * q
publicExponent: e
privateExponent: d

What I'm not clear about is what function these values play:

exponent1: ??
exponent2: ??
coefficient: ??

Can someone explain?

Thanks,
Mike
