Hi Everybody., I just wanted to add a thing to the prime number which i found independently and i do not know whether this has been achieved earlier or not but i have a way of proving that every prime is of the form (int)sq.root(1+24n) of course excepting 2 and 3.This is a result derived from the

In response to Taneli Huuskonen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sorry to inflict this crapto on you. I came up with the algorithm when I read Ariel Waissbein's post. Waissbein said... check if a number of size 2^1024, e.g. 2^(2^1024), is congruent to 1 modulo the public exponent n.

yes, but the attack does not work (efficiently). We analyzed it together with Ariel Futoransky and Calos Sarraute and judged it highly impractical (no complexity estimates could be found on the post/news). Later we read a mail which was signed by Rivest himself in which he said that the attack
