I'll bite on this one, leaving the harder part of your question to the real experts. Yes, that should be okay, PROVIDED you have access to a good source of entropy (aka randomness). See the long, long thread on duplicate primes in RSA moduli to get a notion of how horribly wrong things can go if you don't. - Harald _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
