The properties of RSA key generation process in software libraries

The properties of RSA key generation process in software libraries
Abstract:
Diplomová práca porovnáva rôzne prístupy ku generovaniu RSA kľúčov, hľadaniu prvočísel a testovaniu prvočíselnosti v kryptografických knižniciach. Na základe známych útokov na RSA kľúče sú identifikované vlastnosti zraniteľných kľúčov. Algoritmy používané v praxi sú porovnané s odporúčaniami a požiadavkami medzinárodných štandardov. Distribúcie prvočísel a RSA kľúčov generovaných rôznymi implementáciami …more
Abstract:
This thesis surveys cryptographic libraries and compares different approaches to RSA key generation, selection of a prime and primality testing. Attacks on RSA keys are examined and properties of weak keys are discussed. The algorithms used in practice are compared to recommendations and requirements defined in international standards. Distributions of RSA keys and primes produced by different implementations …more
